He argued that the parties should be willing to compromise if there is no possibility of consensus so that the new constitution gets drafted within the set deadline. [break]
Stating that nothing could be more foolish than to dissolve the Constituent Assembly without promulgating the new constitution, the prime minister asked all parties to cooperate. “Constitution cannot be promulgated with the efforts of a single party. It is possible only if all parties work together,” he said.
He also criticized the remarks of senior leader of Nepali Congress Sher Bahadur Deuba that there is no harm in adopting 1990 constitution with some revisions. “We cannot make a man by putting head of a goat in the body of a man,” he argued.
He also urged the people to exert pressure on the top leaders of their respective parties for drafting the new constitution on time. He expressed confidence that his government would be able to promulgate new constitution within May 27.
