KATHMANDU: Prime Minister Pushpa Kamal Dahal ‘Prachanda’ has urged all for the true implementation of the constitution, as the political system and the constitutional document, he said, are for the overall welfare of people.
He made this remark at an event organised here today to present the preliminary findings of a study on electoral reforms, jointly by the Election Commission and the Policy Research Institute.
“We got the constitution through great sacrifices of the people. Around seven decades have been invested for it. Our constitution is a document of political consensus and agreement. There are various views on a variety of subjects of the document. There might be differences on some of them. But, its effective implementation is our collective responsibility,” he said.
On the amendment of the constitution, he said there might be problems and shortcomings in it.
But, they can be spotted only after the document goes into full implementation, he said.
“Only then, there may be a review. Early review may invite political instability,” he suggested.
On the occasion, former Prime Ministers Madhav Kumar Nepal and Jhalanath Khanal, Nepali Congress leader Dr Pushpa Bhusal, CPN (UML) leader Ramesh Badal, and Rastriya Swatantra Party’s central member Ganesh Parajuli said there were no urgency to revise the Constitution when the electoral system was itself in the course of gradual reforms.
They stressed the need of ensuring further impartiality and of discouraging possible extravagancy during the election.
