He said this in his address to a workshop ‘Essence of amendment to constitution in current context’ organized by Nepal Federation of Intellectual Professionals at Janakpurdham on Monday. The former deputy prime minister noted that the constitution was promulgated to institutionalize federal democratic republic in the country. Though the statute has spectacular provisions on fundamental rights, inclusion, equality and civic freedom, its implementation aspect is complicated, Yadav added. The constitution has not bestowed prime minister with special right to dissolve parliament in parliamentary system, he said, arguing that the constitution therefore has no parliamentary characteristics and supremacy. Also speaking on the occasion, Rastriya Janata Party’s senior vice-chair Brikhesh Chandra Lal stressed the need to amend the constitution for equality, inclusion in state operation and equal opportunity.

Samajbadi Party’s co-chair Rajendra Shrestha insisted the need of power for change and called upon cadres to strengthen party organization for power consolidation.

Samajbadi Party’s State-2 chair and Minister for Financial Affairs and...
