Despite imprisonment, bans, political repression and many other difficult circumstances, my stand for democracy, constitutionalism and people&#8217;s rights has never changed. Because I have always believed that there is no alternative greater than democracy, and there is no power greater than the rights of the people. \u2019<\/p>\n<p>Paying respect to the memory of BP, he has extended best wishes to all Nepalis. &#8220;The path shown by BP in favour of democratic values, national unity and people&#8217;s supremacy are still relevant and inspiring,&#8221; he said. <\/p>\n<p>Deuba said that although he is abroad with his family in course of the treatment, his attention is continuously focused on the country, people and democracy.
