“People are looking for peace and a pro-people constitution,” said Jhakku Prasad Subedi, a lawmaker from Unified Communist Party of Nepal (Maoist). “So I suggest the parties not to disrupt the parliament meeting in one or another pretext.”
Subedi also blamed the ruling and opposition parties for ignoring the Prime Minister’s call for consensus and trying to disrupt the parliament meeting frequently.
CPN-UML lawmaker Rijwan Ansari suggested the parties to address the issues raised by various minority groups to establish their ownership in the country’s new statute. “A pro-people statute is possible only through consensus not through intimidation and threats used by the Maoists,” said Ansari.
Speaking at special hour of the meeting, Nepali Congress lawmaker Dip Kumar Upadhyay challenged Maoists to prove his hand in murder of their cadres in Kapilvastu on the eve of last year’s CA polls. “I want to urge the government to make public the probe committee report on the incident and take action against those involved.”
In the meeting, Madhesi People’s Rights Forum lawmaker Mrigendra Kumar Singh Yadav demanded that the government give attention to improve deteriorating law and order situation in the Tarai. “I have realized that the government has not paid any attention to make the talks with armed Tarai groups successful,” he said.
