Opposition alliance led by UCPN (Maoist) announces 2nd phase of protests to press the ruling parties to draft the new constitution through consensus. However, the opposition front has not shut the door for talks. The front said the ruling parties have not shown seriousness about consensus on the disputed issues of new constitution. Also, Constituent Assembly (CA) Chairman Subas Nembang has said the CA meeting could not be postponed for long as there was now short time to draft a new constitution. The postponement of CA meeting has already reached 30 days, but the efforts did not yield any result, he said while addressing the Third National Congress of the Lions Club International here today. The Chairman Nembang further said CA meeting would not be postponed again until it prepared a draft of the new constitution. People waited silently for a long time for the constitution but they would not wait more for the same, he added. Parties have intensified dialogues for constitution drafting process and it should not be discontinued, Chair Nembang added. “The political leaders are capable to resolve the disputed issues, but why they are not willing for it”, he wondered. He urged all to create positive pressure to the leaders for timely constitution otherwise country witnesses crisis.
