India, Sept. 11 -- As Nepal looks for a new governing arrangement after Gen-Z protests toppled KP Sharma Oli's precarious coalition amid widespread violence, a former prime minister Baburam Bhattarai urged for a solution "within the framework of the existing Constitution".

"Otherwise, grave misfortune may follow," he posted on X.

Titling his post "The Democratic Way Out Now", Bhattarai shared a proverb: "It is harder to deliver the offering to the priest than to perform the funeral rite itself." It essentially implies that the process is can prove difficult than the final result.

He said challenges have only just begun, but criticised unnamed "self-proclaimed intellectuals" for saying that Nepal is now "constitutionless or stateless"....
