Kathmandu, Aug 28: Parliament Speaker Onsari Gharti has said the issues raised by the indigenous nationalities and others could be resolved through an amendment to the constitution by forging consensus among the political parties.
She said this while speaking in an interaction entitled ‘The Issue of Indigenous Nationalities in the Constitution’ organised by different organisations established by the indigenous nationalities communities including the Nepal Federation of Indigenous Nationalities (NEFIN) here on Saturday.
The Speaker said the push for more rights to the indigenous nationalities and other communities could be made stepping on the present constitution while at the same time institutionalizing the already secured rights.
She urged one and all to work vigorously for the implementation of the constitution arguing that it would be difficult to secure more rights until those already secured were institutionalised.
The Speaker declared that the Legislature-Parliament will play a supportive role regarding the demands put by the communities having their reservations on the new constitution.
Lawmakers belonging to the indigenous nationalities community Dhyan Govinda Ranjit, Gopal Dahit, Parshuram Tamang and Yogendra Chaudhary, among others, appealed to the major political parties to incorporate the rights of the indigenous nationalities through an amendment to the constitution.
Parliamentarian Nagendra Kumal, who is also the president of NEFIN, urged all the MPs for their cooperation in the context of constitution amendment. RSS
