Smooth Session of Constituent Assembly On Sunday
BY KTM Metro Reporter in Kathmandu
The Nepali Congress and the Prime Minister have reached an understanding of enforcing the nine-point agreement and the return of properties grabbed during the 10-year conflict to the former owners. The Prime Minister had reached the International Convention Center to put his commitment to the Constituent Assembly on Thursday, January 01, 2009. However, members of the Constituent Assembly belonging to smaller political parties blocked the session of the Constituent Assembly demanding to take out the Bill on Scholarship from the agenda of the Constituent Assembly and make it inclusive before putting on the agenda of the Constituent Assembly. So, the Chairman of the Constituent Assembly called off the session and rescheduled it for Sunday, January 04, 2009.
Members of the Constituent Assembly belonging to the Nepali Congress must be tired of boycotting the sessions of the Constituent Assembly; so, their leaders agreed to the volatile commitment of the Prime Minster to enforce the nine-point agreement. Their actions could not create any ripple in the minds of Nepalis but have done a lot of damage to the reputation of their party. They also could not bring the leaders of the Communist Party of Nepal-Unified Marxist and Leninist Party (CPN-UML) and the Madheshi People’s Rights Forum (MPRF) to their fold for bringing down the six-party coalition government.
