As the Constitution of Nepal 2072 has been implemented from Sunday with President Ram Baran Yadav officially declaring its promulgation, UCPN (Maoist) senior leader Baburam Bhattarai remarked that it is not an occasion for celebration.

Exiting from the CA meeting that promulgated the new constitution this evening, leader Bhattarai said, “Half of the nation’s population is unsatisfied with the new constitution. Hence it is not an occasion for celebration.”

Meanwhile, Nepali Congress Vice-president Ram Chandra Poudel noted the constitution ensures the right of all the Nepali people. Poudel claimed the constitution is the most progressive one in the entire South Asia.

“Even the god is incomplete. The constitution has institutionalised the changes we brought through people’s movement. Now all the Nepali must aspire to make Nepal a prosperous country,” said Poudel.
