Chances of consensus remain uncertain although the three major parties and the agitating United Democratic Front will be holding talks tomorrow to clear the way to move ahead with the remaining proceedings of the Bill on First Amendment of the constitution.
The CPN-UML and UCPN-M are keen to move ahead with providing 72 hours to lawmakers to register amendment proposals on the bill if consensus cannot be forged by tomorrow.
The preliminary discussions will likely conclude tomorrow.
The main opposition Nepali Congress, however, is insisting on putting the remaining proceedings on hold for a few more days and resuming the process after taking the agitating parties into confidence.
“We want to move the remaining process of constitution amendment ahead after reaching consensus with agitating forces. As talks among the ruling parties, the NC and the agitating Madhes-based parties are scheduled to be held tomorrow morning, it will make the situation clearer regarding what will happen next,” NC Vice-president Ramchandra Paudel told THT.
UML Whip Gokul Gharti, however, said preliminary discussions will conclude tomorrow and the second stage of the bill’s proceedings will begin tomorrow itself as agreed among the three major parties on Thursday at a meeting called by the Speaker.
“We took much time waiting for consensus. We cannot wait further. The remaining proceedings will move ahead after discussions conclude tomorrow,” he said.
