Top leaders agree not to hinder constitution making process


Top leaders of the three large parties in the constituent assembly have reiterated their commitments not to hinder the constitution writing process due to political differences.
In a joint meeting called by Constituent Assembly Chairman Subash Nemwang Thursday, UCPN (Maoist) chairman Pushpa Kamal Dahal, UML chairman Jhala Nath Khanal and Nepali Congress Parliamentary Party leader Ram Chandra Poudel expressed commitments that they would expedite constitution making process. They also expressed commitments to take the peace process to a logical end.
Nemwang called the meeting after the CA committee failed to meet the deadlines to submit preliminary drafts of the constitution due to political differences, due to which the constitution making calendar has been amended five times. It is learnt that Maoist chairman Dahal suggested electing Dr Babu Ram Bhattarai as the chairman of the Constitutional Committee, which has remained vacant since Madhav Kumar Nepal was elected Prime Minister.
