Kathmandu, 29 May/The term of the Constituent Assembly (CA) has been extended for one year, coming to the late hour on 28 May, the stipulated date of drafting and declaration of a new constitution. For this, three point agreement has been made among the three parties-UCPN-Maoist, UML and Nepali Congress. The agreement is as as follows:
a). We are committed to consensus and cooperation to take the peace process to a logical conclusion and to complete the remaining tasks of the peace process and accomplish the historic responsibility of writing a new constitution.
b). Though significant progress has been made in the constitution drafting process, all the works have not been completed yet. So, we have agreed to extend the term of the constituent assembly for one year.
c). We are ready to advance on the basis of consensus to accomplish the a fore mentioned responsibilities and the works as soon as possible by forming a government of national consensus. We would like to make it clear that the Prime Minister of the present coalition government is ready to resign as soon as possible.
On the basis of the above agreement, UCPN-Maoist has agreed to extend the term. People are happy for this; however, they are not fully assured. People are suspecting on the provision, which reads that the government will be formed on the majority system. Before, there was consensus system which was amended by the CA recently. It was wrong; but it has not been corrected till now. The people actually want change in the country which is being impossible day after day even through the CA.
However, there is no other alternative than to extend the term of the CA.
