Nepal on Tuesday said it will unveil its long-awaited new Constitution on September 20, despite the ongoing deadly protests by minority groups over the proposed federal structure.
The Constituent Assembly (CA) has already began clause-by-clause voting on the proposed constitution, under preparation since 2008, since Sunday and as of now 37 articles have already been endorsed by the 601-member strong body.
A fully democratic Constitution will be promulgated by the Nepal President Ram Baran Yadav at a special function attended by all the heads of diplomatic
missions, Minister for Foreign Affairs Mahendra Bahadur Pandey said.
“Nepal President will promulgate the new Constitution of the Federal, Democratic, Republic Nepal, endorsed by the CA, that would institutionalise the achievements of the Peoples Movement of 2006,” he said.
