CA meeting deferred again

The Constituent Assembly (CA) meeting has been put off once again.

A notice issued by Kul Bahadur Gurung, who chairs the Assembly as the eldest member, stated that the meeting had been postponed till 2:00 pm on Tuesday.

The meeting was to start at 11:00 am, but the notice came only at 4:30 pm as consultations between the seven-party alliance and the three Madhesi parties - Madhesi Janadhikar Forum, Terai Madhesh Loktrantrik Party and the Sadbhawana Party - were still going on.

As per yesterday's understanding between the three major parties and the Madhesi parties, the government was to introduce a new constitution amendment bill in today's meeting.

Meanwhile, the talks between the SPA and the Madhesi parties have been deadlocked with the latter opposing the draft of the new amendment bill saying it does not address their demands.

The Madheis parties have disrupted eight consecutive meetings of the CA since June 26. nepalnews.com mk July 07 08
