Leaders urge leadership to adopt flexibility on contentious issues

Kathmandu, Jan 1: Leaders of different political parties have urged the top leaders to adopt flexibility as soon as possible on the disputed issues of constitution writing to promulgate the new constitution within January 22.

At a face to face programme organised by the Reporters' Club Nepal here Thursday, the leaders stressed on the need of heading the country towards the path of economic development by promulgating the new constitution as soon as possible, as other development works are under the shadow after leaders of political parties are focused in constitution writing for long. 

On the occasion, Nepali Congress leader and lawmaker Arjun Joshi said the new constitution should be promulgated soon even by keeping the disputed issues intact as new constitution could be amended again.

Similarly, CPN (UML) leader Dr Rajan Bhattarai said youth leaders associated with different political parties should exert positive pressure for the promulgation of the new constitution on slated time.

Likewise, UCPN (Maoist) Secretary Top Bahadur Rayamajhi said the new constitution should be promulgated by forming a national consensus government.

                            

Also speaking at the programme, chief whip of the Mashesi Janadhikar Forum-Nepal Dr Shivaji Yadav and Chairman of the Nepal Pariwar Dal Yeknath Dhakal urged the major political parties to rise above their personal and partisan interests to promulgate the constitution on stipulated time. RSS
