At a discussion organized by the Constitutional and Legal Practitioners' Forum on the draft constitution here on Saturday, they said from the very preamble to the concluding lines of the constitution, there were several mistakes. So, correction was essential.
Chairman of the constitutional committee of the previous Constituent Assembly, Nilambar Acharya said, "Preamble itself needs amendment. Other articles too need correction."
If the same draft is endorsed, the country would face crisis, he warned.
The base of socialism is not clear in the draft constitution, he said, adding that only verbose constitution does not carry meaning.
Another expert on constitution who is also the Chairman of the Administrative Court, Kashiraj Dahal, termed that the draft constitution was like the policy and program of the government. Actually, the constitution should be precise, unambiguous, and comprehensible, he stressed.
Similarly, Nepal Bar Association's former President and senior advocate Shambhu Thapa stressed that legal practitioners should make political parties committed towards the implementation of people's feedback to the draft new constitution.
Prof Dr Pitambar Sharma said flaws in the constitution draft were due to short preparation for the same on behalf of the political parties who felt the necessity of the new constitution only after the April 25 devastating earthquake.
Chairman of the Forum advocate Dr Chandrakant Gyawali said the Forum is going to submit its feedback to the draft statute as per the consent of the Constitutional and Political Dialogue and Consensus Committee.
On the occasion, constitutional experts presented working papers on the dictions in the draft preamble, preliminary definition, matters of citizenship, fundamental rights, constitutional president, federalism, constitutional rights, women and right rights, constitutional court, judiciary and political parties.
