A meeting of 27 parties have agreed to settle contentious issues in the Constituent Assembly Thematic Committees reports and forward them to the CA as soon as possible.
CA Chairman Subash Nembang presided over the meeting that took place at Singha Durbar.
The meeting agreed to settle issues in the drafting of the new constitution by holding an all-party meeting as the tenure of the High-level Political Task Force has already reached its deadline.
Out of 210 contentious issues in the reports prepared by the seven thematic committees of the CA, the taskforce formed with UCPN (Maoist) Chairman Pushpa Kamal Dahal as the Coordinator had settled 127 issues.
Parties are yet to reach to an agreement on many important issues including the form of governance and structure of federalism, the electoral system and whether or not to adopt pluralism.
According to lawmaker of the CPN (Unified), Pari Thapa, the meeting discussed the process of presenting the settled issues before the CA and about prioritising the remaining contentious issues.
