By KTM Metro Reporter in Kathmandu
On Monday, November 19, 2007, in consultation with Speaker Subhas Nemwang, Prime Minister Girija Prasad Koirala summoned the winter session of the Interim legislature at 3:00 P.M. Minister for Peace and Reconstruction, Ram Chandra Poudel, on behalf of the Home Minister, Krishna Prasad Sitaula presented the Nepal Trust Ordinance and an amendment to Arms and Weapons Act Ordinance for ratification.
After the brief sitting of the winter session, Speaker Subhas Nemwang announced that the Interim Legislature would be in recess for 10 days obviously for giving much needed time for the leaders of the seven-party alliance to find compromise on declaration of Nepal a republic and a proportional electoral system for the CA polls. The session would sit again on November 29, 2007.
Various ethnic groups and Civil Society leaders staged a rally at the western and southern entrance to Singha Durbar where the legislative building is located before the beginning of the winter session of the Interim Legislature to put pressure on the government for implementing the resolutions passed by the special session of the Interim Legislature on declaring Nepal a republic and introducing a proportional representation system for the Constituent Assembly (CA) elections in the country.
