He holds that those parties engaged in the 2006 movement cannot shy away from their responsibility of bringing a new constitution respecting people’s mandate.
Regmi also expressed regret over parties’ failure to meet the self-imposed January 22 deadline of the constitution promulgation.
He further added that new constitution will ensure the rights and space to all the parties.
“It is a historic and a rare opportunity for the parties to bring out a new constitution from the CA,” he said, adding that new constitution will ensure the rights of citizens.
“I appeal the party leaders to deliver a new constitution as soon as possible as per the aspirations and expectation of the people,” Regmi said.
