Major three political party sit for decisive talks today
A decisive talks between the major three political parties and Samyukta
Loktantrik Madhesi Morcha (SLMM) is due to be held on Tuesday.
With barely a week to go before the statute deadline of May 27, the political parties have intensified talks to give a logical conclusion to all the pending contentious issues.
However, the time for today’s meeting has not been fixed, Prime Minister’s political advisor Devendra Poudel informed.
The parties are yet to decide on whether federating country on the basis of single ethnic identity or multi ethnic identity.
The meeting held on Monday ended inconclusively after the UCPN (Maoist) and the SLMM proposed a three-month extension of the Constituent Assembly (CA) by introducing a preliminary draft of the constitution by May 27, deferring for now any agreement on federalism.
Meanwhile, the Nepali Congress and the CPN-UML had proposed promulgating the constitution before May 27, and referring the points of contention on federalism to “the transformed parliament” and the proposed Central Federal Commission.
Though various proposals were floated in the cross-party talks on state restructuring, agreement is still elusive.
