Kathmandu, Dec 4: Prime Minister Pushpa Kamal Dahal ‘Prachanda’ has reaffirmed that the constitution amendment proposal was registered with the consent of the main opposition party CPN (UML) and the Madhes-centric parties.
Addressing the CPN (Maoist Centre)’s ongoing politburo meeting here today, he said it is not appropriate to exude ignorance and dissatisfaction now against the proposal that has been forwarded after discussions among all sides for increasing the acceptability of all to the constitution.
He said the constitution amendment proposal presented by the government was not anything new and that it was meaningless to protest it now as it was the same proposal parties like the Nepali Congress and the UML had brought before.
The Prime Minister opined that although it was normal to show general protest at a time when the government was moving ahead with the goal of steering the country forward on the path of election by increasing the acceptability of the constitution, it was wrong to stop legislation of new laws obstructing the parliament business.
PM Prachanda, who is also the chairman of the CPN (Maoist Centre), stated that the government was making efforts towards forging consensus among all the parties over the constitution amendment proposal.
He also said the government was in constant talks with the main opposition and the Madhesi Front, and was preparing to announce the date for the local body election by building agreement on the constitution amendment proposal.
Putting forth his views on the contemporary political situation and the party’s organisational matters, the Prime Minister said he was strongly in favour of passing the amendment proposal and the government was preparing to go for the elections even if that did not materialise.
The PM stated that the Local Level Restructuring Commission would present the draft of the local bodies restructuring and the government would declare the election date based on it.
Stating that acts like throwing stones at the party office and vandalising the martyr memorial park would do no good to anyone, PM Dahal said the government was working to bring together all the people from the mountainous, hilly and Tarai regions.
The CPN (Maoist Centre) politburo will meet again on Sunday to discuss the political report presented by the party chairman Dahal, party spokesperson Pampha Bhusal said. RSS
