Nepal, Nov. 6 -- Nepali Communist Party (NCP) Coordinator Pushpa Kamal Dahal has said the government cannot arrest Nepali Congress President Gagan Kumar Thapa.

Speaking to journalists, Dahal accused the government of attempting to act contrary to the principles and spirit of the Constitution, democracy and republicanism.

Asked about reports circulating throughout the day that the government might arrest Thapa, but no arrest had been made, Dahal expressed concern over the government's conduct.

"The government is clearly trying to go beyond the principles and spirit of the Constitution, democracy and republicanism. This is a matter of serious concern for the country and all its people. As for Gaganji, no one can arrest him," he said.
