Published on: 

Nepal Prime Minister Prachanda on Sunday said the Constitution amendment bill, aimed at meeting the demands of agitating Madhesis and other ethnic groups, will be tabled in the Parliament on Monday as he urged the opposition parties not to obstruct the house.

Passing the registered bill was a matter of the Parliament, hence, “nobody should obstruct the Parliament by displaying an undemocratic character”, he told reporters at the Biratnagar Airport, The Himalayan Times reported. Prachanda, also the CPN Maoist Centre Chairman, said that if Nepal’s main Opposition party CPN-UMl ended the obstruction in Parliament, the present deadlock would end.

He suspected that there was a big conspiracy to make the Constitution a failure behind the main Opposition’s protest, the report said. Prachanda said the Government will table the Constitution amendment Bill in Parliament on Monday.
