Bhaktapur, Nov 20: Minister for Urban Development Arjun Narsingh KC on Saturday said the government would amend the constitution through consensus among political parties.
“The constitution is a document of agreement. It cannot be amended without consensus and there is no alternative to it,” the minister said.
He was launching a book entitled ‘Anantalingeshwor Municipality: an introduction to diversity’ published by the United Intellectual Society based in Anantalingeshwor Municipality.
He also said the constitution amendment was also the need of the hour to address voices of Madhes, which constitutes half the population of the country while also acknowledging the amendment as a way to make environment to hold local body elections in time.
On allowing naturalised citizenship holders to hold state top posts, KC, also Nepali Congress (NC) leader, opposed the idea, also clarifying that no consultations had been held on the issue in Parliament, within the government and NC itself. RSS
