Nepal’s Opposition leader KP Sharma Oli on Monday refused to let the Constitution amendment bill, aimed at addressing the demands of agitating Madhesi parties, pass in the Parliament.
Talking to journalists at Biratnagar Airport in eastern Nepal, CPN-UMl Chairman Oli accused the government that by tabling the Constitution amendment bill in Parliament it had ignored the Supreme Court order which had noted that state boundaries cannot be reviewed without an approval from the Provincial Assemblies.
Oli said that the incumbent government was acting as if it did not understand court language. He accused the Madhesi party leaders of speaking illegal words and criticised them for making statements like they would not participate in the elections if the Constitution amendment bill is not passed.
