Constitution now would be made on co-operation

Parliamentarians of ruling and opposition parties have stressed on taking in tandem the formation of a national consensual government to cope with the repercussions of the major earthquake, and works of constitution making. During discussions at today's Legislature Parliament meeting on the Resolution Motion pertaining to providing relief and rehabilitation programmes to earthquake victims, CPN-UML leader Surendra Pandey said there should be no delay in forming a national consensual government and carrying out works on constitution making. Advising the leaders to focus on forming a national consensual government, Congress parliamentarian Gagan Thapa suggested that the works of the government be handled by the older leaders and works of reconstruction by the youths. Similarly, Unified CPN-Maoist leader Janardan Sharma said that though the earthquake had dampened the spirit of the people, the country would not have to appeal for aid from foreign countries if the problem was resolved by promulgating a new constitution. With parliamentarians still airing their views, the meeting of the Legislature Parliament is also scheduled for tomorrow.
