At a meeting of the Development Committee under the Legislature-Parliament today, Chief Whips of the Nepali Congress, CPN (UML), Federal Socialist Party and Madhesi Janadhikar Forum (Democratic) univocally called on the respective parties’ leadership to make no further delay to sort out the issue on the basis of consensus.
Political parties need to have an agreement on which election is the first priority of the hour, they said.
NC Chief Whip Chinkaji Shrestha articulated that the constitution amendment proposal was introduced to the House with the realization of the necessity of conducting the three-tier election by the third week of January, 2018 as part of the enforcement of the constitution. The CPN (UML) continuing with the obstruction in the House had blocked the way for endorsing the election-related bills, he said, adding that he did not know why the UML was scared of the election.
