KATHMANDU, Feb 26: Nepali Congress President Sher Bahadur Deuba claimed that the main opposition CPN-UML would join the constitution amendment process and help in endorsing it.


Deuba made the claim after having a consultation meeting with NC lawmakers from Madhes districts in Singhadurbar on Sunday.

"We'll move forward by endorsing the constitution amendment bill in the parliament at any cost. We'll consult all the parties in the parliament to help in endorsing it. CPN-UML will also join the process. We'll take UML on board," said Deuba after the meeting.


Deuba said that Nepali Congress will not bring in any further amendment proposal on the bill.


Earlier on Thursday, a team of NC lawmakers from Madhes, led by Pharmullah Mansoor, had urged party President Deuba to lead the constitution amendment by fast-tracking the parliamentary process.


Following it, Deuba had summoned the consultation meeting. Besides Deuba, Home Minister Bimalendra Nidhi, NC leaders Prakash Man Singh and Krishna Sitaula were also present at the meeting.
