Top leaders of four parties held separate consultation with chiefs of Supreme Court, Public Service Commission, Election Commissions, Commission of Investigation of Abuse of Authority and Auditor General. According to a source, Chief Justice Kalayan Shrestha expressed reservation on the provision of Constitutional Court and Parliamentary oversight on the judiciary. He also expressed concern regarding the re-appointment of chief justice after constitution promulgation.

According to a leader, CIAA Chief Commissioner Lokman Singh Karki urged not to incorporate any provisions that would curtail the rights of CIAA. Those state bodies have already submitted their concerns on draft constitution to CA Chairman Subash Nembang. Top leaders held consultation with a view that suggestions provided by the state bodies should be taken seriously.

Meanwhile, top leaders are also scheduled to meet leaders of four Madhes-based parties which are protesting inside and outside the CA in order to address their demands. However, Madhes-based parties are divided about holding talks with four major parties. Four parties will also meet Maoist parties led by Mohan Baidya and Netra Bikram Chand and listen their voices on draft constitution.

Though parties have started consultation to incorporate the public suggestions on draft constitution, chances are unlikely that key provisions will be modified. Regarding the secularism, parties are preparing to explain the provision but reluctant to change it. As CPN-UML dropped the agenda of directly elected executive chief, the incumbent provision of parliamentary system will be continued.

A significant number of people attending interaction with CA members during the two-day consultation on the national charter had suggested for a directly-elected executive as the head of the government and replace secularism with religious freedom.
