Kathmandu, July 6: Various lawmakers in today's
meeting of the Constituent Assembly (CA) have voiced their concern for
the CA to execute tasks as federation and demarcation of the provinces.
Commenting that the government's decision to promulgate a new constitution was very positive, Nepali Congress lawmaker and one of the members of the Constitution Drafting Committee (CDC) Gagan Kumar Thapa said that the decision was not being derailed at all from the constitution promulgation process.
Leader Thapa argued that the tasks as federalism and demarcation should be carried out by the current CA. He further said that these tasks should not be kept pending while furthering the constitution drafting process in the 'fast track'.
"These issues should be resolved as the initial draft is taken to the public for their feedbacks," Thapa opined, adding that the CDC should also take into account the recommendations furnished by the CA members so as to make the Draft more refined.
The differing points in the Draft were raised to make the constitution acceptable by all and enriching, it ought not to curtail the women's rights to inherit ancestral property, he said.
He suggested that the use of 'socialism' in the preamble of the preliminary draft should be omitted.
Similarly, CPN (UML) lawmaker Bhim Prasad Acharya spoke of the need for the government to make arrangement for holding the civic body election at the earliest. He suggested since the issues of citizenship, inclusiveness, proportional representation lacked clarity in the recently released Draft, the CDC should come forth with these issues with clarity.
On a different note, UCPN (Maoist) lawmaker JB Tuhure voiced his concern over issues as inclusiveness through the medium of a song.
The next meeting of the CA is scheduled on July 7 at 8:00 am. RSS
