Lawmakers in Nepal have again missed a midnight deadline for a new national constitution, with several disputed points remaining unresolved as the deadline for constitution promulgation expired on Thursday midnight.
Prime Minister Sushil Koirala has said that he was hurt by the failure of political parties represented in the Constituent Assembly (CA) to promulgate the new constitution within January 22 in his televised address to the nation on Friday. In his address to the nation this evening, the PM expressed his sadness over the failure of CA to deliver the constitution on the announced date. His address from the National Planning Commission meeting hall has just concluded. Pm said,“The parties resorted to protests rather than drafting constitution through Constitution Assembly,”.
