Kathmandu, Nepal: The government is going to table a constitution amendment bill by Tuesday. The allies of the incumbent government particularly the Nepali Congress and the CPN Maoist Center have reached on the conclusion to table the constitution amendment bill in the parliament with the aim to take into confidence to the agitating Federal Alliance (FA) a loose alliance of Madhesi and indigenous parties.
With the decision o table the constitution amendment bill in the parliament, the government has intensified discussions with various political parties represent in the legislative parliament particularly with the CPN UML, the main opposition party in the parliament.
The Madhes based parties have repeatedly been exerting pressure to the government to address their demands by amending in the constitution. However, neither the government allies nor the opposition parties have agreed to address their demands by amending the constitution.
As political parties have been differing over the issues forward by the agitating FA, it is likely that the key contentious issues including the number and boundaries of the federal states and naturalized citizenship would not be addressed even after the amendment in the constitution.
Despite the fact is there, Prime Minister Pushpa Kamal Dahal had vowed on Friday that the government is going to register the constitution amendment bill in Parliament by Tuesday even if the main opposition party CPN-UML is not ready to support the amendment.
