Chairman of the main opposition party, the CPN-UML, KP Sharma Oli on Saturday said the constitution amendment proposal registered in Parliament would not be endorsed, terming it against the country.

He rather said it would not be even discussed in Parliament. The former Prime Minister was inaugurating the 8th Baglung district convention of the UML.

Oli also said the proposal is not acceptable to his party as it has been brought in a way that would 'harm' the country and its citizens.

"Constitution amendment is not the need of the hour at this time. The amendment proposal that is designed to split Province 5 will disintegrate Nepalis," he said.

On local body elections, the UML leader said all should go for the elections at the earliest and that there was not a link between the constitution amendment and the polls.

"The elections are a need of the country at this time. The constitution has not barred it. The task of transformative Legislature-Parliament is to make laws related to the elections, but not to amend the constitution," he said.

The convention that will conclude on Sunday will pick the next leadership of Baglung UML. The total 592 have participated. RSS
