NOT CONVINCING
It was encouraging to read this report (“Referendum
if no accord: PM” 9 April, Page 1) when the new Constituent Assembly
is preparing to draft the new constitution within one year. The major political
parties should have thought of holding a referendum during first CA itself
instead of trying in vain to draft a new constitution without coming to
consensus on major issues. This time, let the sovereign people decide.
However, it was disappointing to hear PM
Koirala saying that the local election may have to be differed until October/
November due to lack of preparation. If this is so, why do his ministers
continue to publicly say that the local polls will be held within six months? And,
if they were not sure about holding local polls within six months, why promise this
during the election campaign? The people do not seem too happy with this
government so far.
