THT Online

KATHMANDU: Following the failure of the different committees under the Constituent Assembly to submit their proposals within the assigned time frame, the work schedule for the statute drafting process was amended for the seventh time on Wednesday. However, it is said the amendment is being done in such a way that it will not affect the constitution drafting process.

State Restructuring Committee, Ruling Structure Establishment Committee, Natural Infrastructure Committee, State Division Committee and the constitutional committee had not yet submitted their drafts including their views.

Meanwhile, the parliament is scheduled to meet at 4:30 pm today. Though the parties are yet to forge consensus regarding the Maoist demands on civilian supremacy, it is almost certain that the meeting will be deferred yet again.

Maoists have been obstructing the House proceedings for the past six months after the resignation of its party chairman Pushpa Kamal Dahal ‘Prachanda’ from his post as the PM.
