KATHMANDU, May 30: Standing Committee member of Unified CPN (Maoist) Dev Gurung said conclusion of peace process and constitution drafting may not be possible within the extended three-month period of the Constituent Assembly.



At an interaction organized by Reporters’ Club on Monday, he said since the five-point agreement signed before extension of the CA tenure is unclear about army integration and dispute over some main points linger, conclusion of peace process and the first draft of constitution drafting within three months are under a cloud.[break]



The agreement also states that the Prime Minister will resign to pave the way for a national consensus government, but parties are unclear how national consensus can be forged, he said.



At the same program, CPN-UML leader Bhim Rawal claimed the Prime Minister will resign within one week.



Saying that peace process should be completed before completing constitution drafting, he said the new constitution can be promulgated within three months if the agreement is implemented.



Nepali Congress leader Dr Shekhar Koirala said the Prime Minister shouldn’t resign before the selection of unopposed prime ministerial candidate. Dahal cannot be the new Prime Minister unless PLA’s arms are handed over to the state, he said.
