SURUNGA: Speaker Devraj Ghimire has termed the dissolution of parliament as unconstitutional, illegal and anti-democratic, stating that its immediate restoration is necessary.

Talking to journalists at his private residence in Birtamod, Jhapa today, Speaker Ghimire expressed the view that the reinstatement of parliament is the only legitimate option to resolve the current political instability in the country.
