The committee has been tasked with studying the drafts and concept papers submitted by ten thematic committees, noting down the issues raised during the discussion on the draft of each thematic committee and identifying the issues repeated in more than one thematic committees and making recommendations, if any, to improve the draft.
Unified Communist Party of Nepal (Maoist) chief whip Post Bahadur Bogati tabled a proposal to this effect at Wednesday´s meeting of the CA. Nepali Congress chief whip Laxman Ghimire, CPN-UML chief whip Bhim Prasad Acharya and MPRF chief whip Ram Janam Chaudhari seconded the proposal.
The committee comprises lawmakers Agni Kharel and Yubaraj Karki from the UML, Ekraj Bhandari and Basrha Man Pun from the Unified CPN (Maoist), Radheshyam Adhikari and Dr Narayan Khadka from NC and Atmaram Prasad Sah from MPRF. Nepal Sadbhavana Party (Anandi Devi) lawmaker Sarita Giri and Sadbhavana Party lawmaker Laxman Lal Karna, Tarai-Madhes Democratic Party lawmaker Brijesh Kumar Gupta, Nepal Workers Peasants Party lawmaker Sunil Prajapati and Samajwadi Prajatantrik Janata Party lawmaker Prem Bahadur Singh are among the members in the committee.
The committee will remain effective until the draft proposals of all thematic committees are endorsed by the CA. Only the National Interest Preservation Committee has submitted the draft so far.
After the endorsement of the proposal to form the committee, CA Chairman Subas Nembang announced that the CA has entered the most important phase of drafting constitution. Stating that constitution-drafting process was just like making a project successful, Nembang sought cooperation from all political parties.
The next meeting of the CA will be held on Sunday afternoon.
