Parties finalising supplementary bill

The meeting of the seven parties is taking place, Monday morning, to finalise the supplementary bill on the amendment of the constitution in line with the understanding the three big parties reached with three Madhesi parties on Sunday evening.

After the parties finalise the review of the supplementary bill, it would be endorsed by the cabinet and presented at the Constituent Assembly (CA) meeting on Monday.

The latest understanding was reached after Madhesi parties – Madhesi Janadhikar Forum (MJF), Terai Madhes Loktantrik Party (TMLP) and Nepal Sadbhavana Party (NSP) – rejected the earlier supplementary bill tabled by the government at the CA.

“We will accept the new supplementary bill if it adopts the March agreement reached between seven party government and United Democratic Madhesi Front. If it does not incorporate the spirit of that agreement, then we will again reject it,” said Upendra Yadav, coordinator of MJF. nepalnews.com sd Jul 07 08
