CA Chairman says SC's decision will not halt constitution writing; Claims CA can endorse constitution as per its will

Constituent Assembly Chairman Subhash Nembang has said the constitution drafting work will not be halted despite the SC's order against implementing the16-point agreement. Talking with media persons in Pokhara today, Nembang said the CA had the right to endorse the new constitution as per its will. He also expressed belief on promulgation of the constitution based on the popular demand.
On the other hand, Integrated Draft Task Force under the Constitution Drafting Committee will not be able to prepare a draft by tomorrow. The possibilities of preparing a draft by tomorrow appears weak following dispute on topics including federalism, and judicial system. CPN-ML lawmaker Aindra Sundar Nembang informed that the task could not be accomplished within the deadline as section wise discussions were necessary along with the need of legal language. Likewise, saying that discussions were necessary on a few topics, CPN-UML parliamentarian Krishna Bhakta Pokharel opined that additional time was necessary.
