Bhaktapur, Dec 5: Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Home Affairs Bimalendra Nidhi has said the government forwarded the constitution amendment process for finding ways to enforce constitution and hold elections.
Addressing an inaugural ceremony of the Shreemadbhagawat Dhanyanchal Gyan Mahayagya (a religious function) at Chagunarayan of Bhaktapur on Sunday, the DPM spoke of the need of constitution amendment to end the existing political impasse.
Defending the accusation from the oppositions that the government tabled the constitution amendment bill at the Legislature-Parliament unilaterally, he said, “The constitution amendment proposal was prepared during the premiership of Sushil Koirala in which CPN (UML) Chair KP Sharma Oli had signed on and the incumbent government just presented it to the House.”
On a different note, the Home Minister said the government had formed the National Reconstruction Authority (NRA) so that post-earthquake reconstruction works could be carried out sooner and the survivors could get grants on time, but contrary to this purpose, the NRA failed to work, the government is confined by laws, it can neither change the NRA leadership nor make it work.”
On the occasion, Minister Nidhi donated Rs 500,000 to the Mahayagya which will be spent to construct the temple of Guru Gorakhnath in the event venue.
Funds to be raised from the Mahayagya that will run until December 13 will be used for the development and promotion of religious tourism in Changunarayan. RSS
