New constitution on Jan. 22 possible through fast-track: Nembang

Kathmandu, Dec 26: Chairman of the Constituent Assembly (CA), Subas Nembang, has said that the new constitution could be promulgated on coming January 22 through fast track if major political parties want.

Nembang said he found that the political parties do not want to forge consensus on the disputed issues of the constitution.

Receiving the eight-point memorandum submitted by the Professional Alliance for Peace and Democracy (PAPAD) here today, the CA Chairman said he could not find out why the political parties are failed to forge consensus and which thing is obstructing them to forge consensus.

Nembang said, "It is necessary to forge consensus on the contentious issues of the new constitution immediately in view of commitment made before people and country's need. Parties have no time to make delay for the same. Consensus needed immediately."

Similarly, PAPAD Coordinator Anjani Kumar Jha submitted the memo demanding to create environment conducive to promulgate the new constitution on the slated time.

The PAPAD has been drawing attention of chairman of different political parties with an objective of exerting pressure for the peace and constitution. RSS
