Otherwise, to restore the questions of nationalism, democracy and people\u2019s livelihood, an unimaginable public tsunami, larger than those of 1950, 1990 and 2006, will soon rise from all directions. It will certainly come,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>The UML\u2019s latest statement reflects mounting opposition pressure on the government led by Prime Minister Balendra Shah. Any restructuring of the government or change of prime minister, however, would depend on the decisions of the ruling parties, parliamentary support and the relevant constitutional process.<\/p>\n<div class=\"fb-background-color\">\n\t\t\t  <div \n\t\t\t  \tclass = \"fb-comments\" \n\t\t\t  \tdata-href = \"https:\/\/eng.dragonmedia.com.np\/?p=23335\"\n\t\t\t  \tdata-numposts = \"10\"\n\t\t\t  \tdata-lazy = \"true\"\n\t\t\t\tdata-colorscheme = \"light\"\n\t\t\t\tdata-order-by = \"time\"\n\t\t\t\tdata-mobile=true>\n\t\t\t  <\/div><\/div>\n\t\t  <style>\n\t\t    .fb-background-color {\n\t\t\t\tbackground: #ffffff !important;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t.fb_iframe_widget_fluid_desktop iframe {\n\t\t\t    width: 100% !important;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t  <\/style>\n\t\t  ","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dragon Media Correspondent The CPN-UML has urged Rastriya Swatantra Party Chair Rabi Lamichhane to immediately initiate a restructuring of the government, including a change in the prime minister.
