Three major political parties on Monday said they were closer to reaching an agreement over the disputes of the new Constitution and expect to resolve disputes within three days.
With the UCPN (Maoist) agreeing to explore a previous understanding, the parties have agreed to prepare a draft of the new statute on the contentious issues they have already forged an understanding – model of governance, electoral system and judiciary. Meanwhile, they would try to reach consensus on the most entangled issue of all, federalism.
“With the period of political transition lengthening due to intransigence of the NC and the UML, our party has decided to be flexible so as to get the draft of the Constitution ready,” UCPN (Maoist) Vice-chairman Narayan Kaji Shrestha toldThe Hindu.
“While we will try to get consensus on federalism and keep holding discussion on it, on other issues we have agreed to move ahead.”
The meeting at Baluwatar has entrusted chiefs of the three parties to arrive at a decision.
