Nepali Congress and CPN-UML

Senior leaders of ruling Nepali Congress and CPN-UML are set to show flexibility on their 9-point report pertaining to the debated constitutional issues presented at the Constituent Assembly and sit for talks with the opposition Front. The meeting of the senior leaders of the two parties held today at Baluwatar has decided to begin talks with the opposition immediately in order to seek agreement on the contentious constitutional issues. Concluding that the deferment of the Constituent Assembly meeting could not be prolonged forever, the meeting has decided to hold relevant dialogue with the opposition. BITE... The CA meeting has been postponed indefinitely owing to the rift between the ruling and opposition forces on the debated issues of the constitution. The bone of contention among these issues happens to be that of federalism. Though the parties have been holding talks at the informal level, officials talks have not been held save once after the CA meeting was deferred indefinitely.
