Kathmandu, Nepal: The verdict of the Supreme Court (SC) has paved the way not only resume the stalled meeting of the legislative parliament but also brought the political parties into a negotiation table for consensus.
As the SC verdict on Monday had stated that provincial boundaries can’t be altered without approval from federal assemblies, the government and the opposition parties have agreed to seek every solution from the parliament.
A meeting held between the three major political parties on Tuesday has reached an agreement to resume the parliament meeting after the main opposition UML had agreed to let the constitution amendment bill enter the House.
Likewise the government allies- Nepali Congress and the CPN Maoist Center have agreed to take out the issue of changes in provincial boundaries from the constitution bill registered in the parliament.
Following the agreement between the major three parties, the Parliament Secretariat had postponed the House meeting till next Sunday, January 8. The opposition parties had bought the time as nine political parties including the UML has scheduled to hold a protest assembly in the Capital City on Friday.
