Headmaster of Janasewa Sanskrit Higher Secondary School, Rijal stated it coinciding with a common concern of the public who are dissatisfied with a short time frame set for collecting feedback on the constitution draft.
While the CA members elected from the FPTP from the district are interacting with the locals at the constituency, the locals have labeled them to have appeared with a ready-made mindset.
"This is merely a process, that the CA members want to skip with a formality," said Yam BK, coordinator of Dalit Common Forum in the district while interacting with the Lawmaker Bikash Lamsal of Parbat-1.
On one hand, the draft distribution to the public from municipality and VDC officials is moving at a snail's pace even on the eighth day of 15 days of CA deadline to collect feedback. On the other hand, the people are not convinced that their feedback would make any difference in the draft amendment.
"Knowing that the country can't bear the cost of eight provinces, we are dissatisfied with the model will the lawmakers minimize it to respect our disagreement?" questioned Guru Prasad Upadhyay, forum coordinator at Ward-8 in Kushma Municipality.
Shukra Raj Dhungana, 64 is a disabled elderly ridden to a wheel chair. He says he was disappointed to read the provisions of fundamental rights, where the CA has failed to guarantee education and job to each and every disabled in the country.
"It is the state's responsibility to patron its disabled citizens. An indifference towards that side has left us to suffer forever," said Dhungana. He suggested CA member Lamsal to add the point.
Responding to the public concern, CA member from Parbat-1, Lamsal tried to convince the participants arguing that the draft was based on four million questions raised by citizens earlier in 2008 when the lawmakers went to people asking their expectation from the new constitution.
"Each and every suggestion is the part of CA history even if they can't be comprised in this single document," Lamsal told the participants. He further mentioned that the feedback would also be useful for amending the constitution in the long run.
