Nepal’s four major political parties on Monday failed to make any progress in drafting a new constitution during their first meeting after assembly polls last year, but took a positive note on an all-party national political conference proposed by the CPN-Maoist party.
The meeting of the four major political parties including the CPN-Maoist was held at the Prime Minister’s residence to discuss ways to convene the political conference to expedite the ongoing process of drafting the new constitution. The meeting was called by Prime Minister Sushil Koirala in an attempt to forge consensus among political parties for drafting the statute of the constitution.
