Speaking at the Legislature-Parliament meeting on Thursday, leader Nembang said the issue of constitution amendment was inappropriate at a time when the country has to gear up and focus on the election. He added that the constitution implementation is the primary task at the moment.
He said that the constitution amendment bill would not be acceptable to the nine parties represented in the parliament because it was against the spirit of the constitution.
"The provision of changing the province boundaries contained in the constitution amendment bill is against the letter and spirit of the constitution as well as against the Supreme Court ruling and the interests of the people of the provinces concerned. We are not going to support it," he said.
He expressed displeasure towards the parliament saying it was oriented towards constitution amendment instead of legislating all the laws required for holding the all three tiers of the elections.
Earlier, Speaker Onsari Gharti read out a letter received from the Office of the President informing that the President had authenticated the bill related to the local level election. RSS
