During a joint press conference on Thursday, Deuba told Prime Minister Narendra Modi that efforts to amend the Constitution were underway.<\/p>\n
Former Nepali Prime Minister and CPN-UML chairman KP Sharma Oli on Friday termed Prime Minister Sher Bahadur Deuba\u2019s activities and the statements during his ongoing India visit as \u201cdisgraceful\u201d.<\/p>\n
Talking to journalists at the Tribhuvan International Airport (TIA) in Kathmandu before heading to Thailand for a health check-up, the opposition leader – a strident critic of Premier Deuba – said: \u201cDeuba raised the issue of Constitution\u2019s acceptability out of context on a foreign land. Who was he trying to please by such remarks?\u201d<\/p>\n
During a joint press conference on Thursday, Deuba told Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi that efforts to amend the Constitution were underway.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe is the Prime Minister, he took the oath of office and secrecy from the same Constitution. He was elected the Prime Minister under the same Constitution,\u201d he was quoted as saying by the Kathmandu Post.<\/p>\n
The Communist Party of Nepal (Unified Marxist-Leninist) Chairman said that Deuba, who is in India on a five-day visit, made a mockery of the decision taken by lawmakers of Nepal regarding the Constitution amendment.<\/p>\n
Earlier on Monday, the much-awaited Constitution amendment bill which was brought to address key demands of the agitating Madhes-centric parties failed to muster the required two-thirds majority in the Legislature-Parliament.<\/p>\n
Out of 553 lawmakers, 347 lawmakers voted in favour of the bill, 48 short of the two-thirds majority required to pass the bill.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
