The parties continue to differ on inclusion of the words ‘People’s War’ and pluralism; and the provision on constitution amendment.[break]
UCPN (Maoist) rejected United Democratic Madhesi Front’s (UDMF) proposal to use ‘armed conflict’ instead of ‘People’s War’ in the preamble of the new constitution.
Similarly, Maoist didn’t agree to include ‘pluralism’ in the preamble as proposed by Nepali Congress (NC), CPN-UML and UDMF.
“The Maoist leaders told us that they will consult in the party and let us know about their flexibility and stand in next meeting,” Laxman Lal Karn of UDMF said after the meeting.
The Maoist proposed that all the articles of the new constitution shall be subjected for amendment by two-third majority of the parliament to which other parties disagreed.
The sub-committee will next meet on Thursday.
