Some Nepali political leaders and Swedish social democrats urged political leadership in Nepal to be generous to include all people who were out of mainstream and deprived of the opportunities, the national news agency RSS reported Tuesday.

Inaugurating a two-day-long conference on Inclusive Democracy in Nepal jointly organized by Nepali Congress, Nepali Communist Party Nepal-Unified Marxist Leninist (CPN-UML) and Left Party and Social Democrats of Sweden, CPN-UML General Secretary Madhav Kumar Nepal stressed the need to make democracy more improved and institutionalized.

He pointed out the need to timely change unitary and centralized model of the state, improve the election process and have massive discussion and interaction on those issues.

Stating that the political parties did not make adequate efforts for the protection of democracy in the past, Nepali Congress Central Member Sujata Koirala said it was necessary to bring change in practice and perspectives in the days to come.

She called on the Communist Party of Nepal (CPN) (formerly known as guerilla) to come to peaceful politics by laying down arms and laid stress on the need to prioritize decentralization with proper privilege provision in lieu of federal system while restructuring the country.

Dr. Minendra Rijal of Nepali Congress (Democratic) appealed CPN to transform itself as other political parties. CPN "should give up the fond of holding arms", he added.

It is a great problem to implement constitution and political commitment made in paper, said Mats Einarsson of the Swedish Left Party.
