The Proposal Drafting Committee of the Constituent Assembly (CA) on Sunday passed its working guidelines, declaring that principles like democracy, federalism, republicanism, secularism, and inclusiveness would be an integral part of the new Constitution.
In its second meeting, the Proposal Drafting Committee (PDC), which has been tasked to study the report submitted by the Political Dialogue and Consensus Committee on agreements and disputes over the new Constitution, said no questions would be prepared on it for voting. The new committee has been tasked to prepare a questionnaire with ‘Yes’ and ‘No’ voting option to decide the disputes.
Rastriya Prajatantra Party (RPP)-Nepal boycotted the PDC meeting for not entertaining questions on republicanism, secularism and federalism. The 73-member PDC was passed by a majority of the Constituent Assembly last Sunday despite protests from the Opposition.
