"We are busy to prepare an integrated constitution draft," said Aindra Sundar Nembang, a member of the taskforce. "We will be bound to follow directives from Constituent Assembly and its chairman to halt the constitution drafting process."The Supreme Court on Friday has issued an interim order on not to implement the 16-point political deal recently struck by major political forces with a view to settling key contentious issues in constitution making. However, the parties that signed the agreement have vowed to continue the task of statute drafting based on the deal reached among them despite the court's order.
