KATHMANDU, Sept 23: CPN-UML Chairman KP Sharma Oli has thrown his weight behind the provision in the new constitution that bars aspirants with naturalized citizenship to hold top positions.

“How can one aspire of being President by tomorrow by receiving naturalized citizenship today?, he said questioned on Wednesday, “No country in the world allows naturalized citizen to serve as executive chief.”  
    

Article 283 of the constitution states that only citizens by descent will be entitled to hold the posts of President, Vice-President, Prime Minister, Chief Justice, Speaker of Parliament, Chairperson of National Assembly, Head of Province, Chief Minister, Speaker of Provincial Assembly and Chief of Security Bodies.  

Hinting toward demands of Madheshi Front, Chairman Oli claimed that people from Jhapa, Sunsari and Morang are happy with the seven-province model adopted by the constitution.
