Addressing Nepali Congress cadres at a programme held at Dhading on Saturday, Minister Rijal said that it is impossible for all political parties to be in the same page and the parties should opt for amendments in the disputed issues seeking people’s mandate.

The Information Minister said that the opposition, instead of being critical supporter, has taken an authoritarian stance against the 12-point agreement forged with seven parties during the establishment of republic to draft a constitution as per their party’s values.

“The number of Constituent Assembly (CA) members has been decided according to the people’s mandate,” he said, “To reject the number of CA members is to reject people’s mandate.”
