Kathmandu, Feb 27: A total of 15 amendment motions have been registered on the amendment bill relating to Nepal’s Constitution tabled in the Legislature-Parliament.
The Legislature-Parliament had given the deadline of 5:45 of this evening for the political parties and the lawmakers to register the amendment motion.
United Democratic Madhesi Front (UDMF) registered a five-point amendment proposal by expressing its discontent to some contents.
Lawmaker of Sanghiya Sadbhawana Party Dimpal Kumari Jha said that the UDMF registered the amendment motion focusing language, representation in the National Assembly, delineation of the provinces and some other issues.
Likewise, three lawmakers including Prem Suwal of Nepal Worker Peasants Party, Bharat Bahadur Khadka of Nepali Congress and Mohammad Jakir Hussein of CPN (Maoist Centre), Ganga Chaudhary Satgauwa of Tharuhat Tarai Party Nepal have also lodged the amendments in the bill, according to the Legislature-Parliament Secretariat.
The opposition parties have been protesting the amendment bill despite the government claim that it was brought to address the demands of the Madhes-centric political parties.
The UDMF is of the stance that the bill should be passed with further amendment in favour of the Madhes-centric parties while the main opposition party is arguing not to proceed with the bill until the agitating parties agree to accept the result of the decisive voting. RSS
