With the commencement of the meeting, SLMM affiliated lawmakers stood up from their respective seats and Speaker Onsari Gharti gave time to lawmaker Akbal Ahamad Saha to put his views.
Lawmaker Saha, demanding an endorsement of the constitution amendment bill registered at the Parliament, said the SLMM was informed by media that the government was replacing the amendment bill with a new one by excluding the issue of demarcation.
He stressed that a high-level boundary demarcation federal commission should be formed first by scrapping the Article 274 of the Nepal's constitution and we should wait for such commission to submit its report at the Parliament to withdraw the existing amendment bill.
Stating that the report of Local Level Restructuring Commission was not acceptable for the SLMM, he said they would not take part in the elections until the report is revised and would not allow the elections to take place as well.
