KATHMANDU, April 26: Chairman of Rastriya Prajantra Party-Nepal (RPP-N) Kamal Thapa reiterated the country should go for a fresh people’s mandate as promulgation of a new constitution on time is nearly impossible.



The best alternative would be holding an election after May 28, the deadline to draft a new constitution, he said while speaking at an interaction in the Capital on Tuesday.[break]



“Extending the Constituent Assembly’s deadline repeatedly is to deprive people of their rights and an attack on democracy.”



“If the CA’s term is extended on the pretext of lack of time for drafting a statute, it will be a continuity of parties’ failure,” Thapa said. RPP-N, he said, will organize a mass gathering in Kathmandu on April 29 to press for a fresh election.
