Kathmandu, Nepal: The Nepali Congress, the largest party in the parliament and the oldest democratic party of the country, has decided to take initiations to persuade the political parties particularly the main opposition CPN UML and the agitating Madhes based parties over the issue of constitution amendment.
The Nepali Congress, which is also a coalition partner of the incumbent CPN Maoist Center led government, has made decision in the mean time when the main opposition CPN UML has stand against the constitution amendment proposal.
A meeting of Nepali Congress senior leaders held on Tuesday decided to hold serious talks with main opposition CPN-UML and Madhes-based parties. It is said that bilateral and trilateral talks will be held likely from Wednesday.
Though the government allies- Nepali Congress and CPN Maoist Center- had already made commitment to address the genuine concerns raised by the agitating Madhes based parties by amending in the constitution, the CPN UML has been clinching on the stand that there is no need and justification to amend the constitution.
However, interesting fact is that political parties have been wrangling over the issue instead of constitution amendment proposal. Neither the government nor any political parties have made public the constitution amendment proposal.
