Bhimdattanagar, Nepal: Nepali Congress President Sher Bahadur Deuba has said that contentious issues related to the constitution amendment are being settled through the consensus.
Political parties have agreed on many subjects for amendment of the constitution, Deuba claimed while peaking at a press meet organized by Nepal Press Union, Kanchanpur in Bhimdattanagar on Sunday.
Nepali Congress president Deuba has said so in the mean time when political parties seem to have divided on key contentious issues of the constitution including federal structure of the country and the citizenship provision.
During the function, he also claimed that local body election will be held immediately after amendment of the constitution. However, he did not mention about the deadline that the constitution would be amended to pave the way to hold the local body elections.
In a different note, he said that there is no possibility to give executive post to naturalized citizen. This is merely a rumor spread by the media, Deuba said.
On the issue of another key contentious issue of federal structure of the country, he said that there can be 10 provincial states under the federal structure.
