KATHMANDU : The government has decided to form a task force to prepare a discussion paper on amending the Constitution of Nepal.
A meeting of the Council of Ministers held at Singha Durbar on Monday took the decision, according to government spokesperson and Minister for Education Sasmit Pokharel.
The task force will be led by the political advisor to Prime Minister Balen Shah, Asim Shah and will include representatives from political parties represented in the Federal Parliament of Nepal.
The Cabinet meeting also decided to recommend to President Ram Chandra Paudel to summon the parliamentary session on April 2 at 2 pm at Singha Durbar.
