Nepal’s Opposition leader and former prime minister KP Sharma Oli
today refused to let the the Constitution amendment bill, aimed at
addressing the demands of agitating Madhesi parties, pass in the
Parliament.Talking to journalists at Biratnagar Airport in eastern
Nepal, CPN-UML Chairman Oli accused the government that by tabling the
Constitution amendment bill in Parliament it had ignored the Supreme
Court order which had noted that state boundaries cannot be reviewed
without an approval from the Provincial Assemblies. Oli said that the incumbent government was acting as if it did not understand court language. He accused the Madhesi party leaders of speaking illegal and
unconstitutional words and criticised them for making statements like
they would not participate in the elections if the Constitution
amendment bill is not passed. Oli exuded confidence that the country would find a solution to the
problem in coming few days in line with the parliamentary procedures. Meanwhile, Prime Minister Pushpa Kamal Dahal “Prachanda” has claimed
that the Constitution amendment bill was tabled in the Parliament with
the consent of the main opposition CPN (UML).
