Lahan, Feb 27: Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Home Affairs Bimalendra Nidhi, has said that amending constitution and enforcing it by holding the three-tier election within the constitutional deadline was the special mandate to the government and it was working accordingly.
Opening the province-level (No. 2) training of Nepal Women Association, the sister organisation of Nepali Congress, here Sunday , the Deputy Prime Minister expressed his hope that three-tier’s election would be held on time.
The government has already presented the proposal at the Legislature-Parliament, seeking amendments to the constitution, he said, adding, “The government is doing its best to pass the constitution amendment bill on the consent of CPN (UML) and Madhes-centric parties.” He took the opportunity to accuse the main opposition UML of intending to create a gap between the people of Madhes and hill.
The amendment proposal incorporated the issues of demarcation of provinces, citizenship, language and proportional inclusion and it was not anti-national as rumoured by the CPN (UML), he claimed. He said the government hoped that the Madheshi parties would participate in the election after the constitution amendment.
Also speaking on the occasion, Nepali Congress leader Chitralekha Yadav said the creation of election-friendly atmosphere in Madhes was possible only after the House amended the constitution and this matter should be taken sensitively.
