Nepal parties to forge consensus on Constitution amendment

Published on: 

Nepal’s three major political parties on Monday decided to reach a consensus on a bill to amend the new Constitution to resolve the current political crisis amid the ongoing protests by Madhesis demanding greater representation and review of provincial boundary demarcation.

The three parties held a meeting at Baluwatar which was attended by Prime Minister K P Sharma Oli, UCPN-Maoist chairman Prachanda, Nepali Congress president Sushil Koirala and general secretary of the party Prakash Man Singh.

“A meeting of three major parties and the agitating United Democratic Madhesi Front will be convened soon to make a common opinion among the political parties regarding the constitution amendment bill tabled in the Parliament and the ongoing Madhesi movement,” PM’s Press adviser said.
