According to CPN-UML chief whip Bhim Acharya, who participated in the meeting, another meeting of the Mechanism will be held in the afternoon to discuss on Terms of References (ToR) and other details of the commission.[break]
Last Saturday, the CPN-UML had officially proposed that a commission be entrusted with resolving the issues about federalism. The party´s all powerful body central committee (CC) came up with the conclusion after 15 rounds of meetings.
UML believed that the formation of commission would help in completing the task of statute writing in time.
By proposing a commission that should come with an independent decision acceptable for all the parties, the UML had indicated flexibility in its stance on state restructuring, the most contentious issue in constitution-writing.
The party had earlier proposed a 15-province model to the CA committee on state restructuring. The model proposes seven states on the basis of the ethnic identity. UML CA members had also voted in favor of the 14-province model prepared by the CA committee when it held voting on the agenda.
The UML is the second among the major political parties to officially propose the commission. The Nepali Congress (NC) has been rooting for such a commission for a couple of months.
