No Change In Agreed Issues
By KTM Metro Reporter
December 29, 2011: speaking to the reporters after the meeting of the Dispute-Resolution Sub-Committee of the Constitutional Committee, Chairman Prachanda has said that the committee has decided not to make any changes in the already agreed issues.
The Vaidya group of the UCPN-Maoist and small parties have been attempting on changing the agreed issue such as the ‘armed struggle’ to the ‘people’s war’. It has created ripples of confusion. Some reporters have already questioning whether the agreed issues would go astray and the disputed issues would surface again.
Therefore, the Dispute-Resolution Sub-committee has to confirm that the agreed subject matters would not be changed at all.
Prachanda had skipped the meetings of the Dispute-Resolution Sub-committee for a number of times giving rise to the suspension that the whole agreed issues would be again disputed. The Vaidya group has vehemently opposed the agreed ‘armed struggle’ instead of ‘people’s war’. This group wants to see ‘people’s war’ in the preamble of a new constitution. However, Prachanda has firmly stood on what he has agreed on the disputed issues, confirming that the number of disputed issues has actually reduced to a few.
NC and CPN-UML have been opposing to include the ‘people’s war’ in the preamble of a new constitution. So, they have agreed on ‘armed struggle’ in the preamble referring to the ten-year long war the Maoists had fought.
