Kathmandu – Speaking at the inauguration program of the Congress’s Kachankawal-Sagarmatha Jagran Abhiyan organized in Jhapa on Wednesday, ruling Congress General Secretary Bishwo Prakash Sharma has objected to the statement made by Prime Minister and UML Chairman KP Sharma Oli that the constitution amendment will be done only in 2087 BS.

He objected to the Prime Minister’s statement, saying that a seven-point agreement was made to amend the constitution while the current ruling coalition of Congress and UML was formed.

Addressing the program, Sharma, who objected to Prime Minister Oli’s statement, said, “There has been a consultation to open the door to constitutional amendment. It is written in the seven-point agreement. When the constitution is being amended, what are the expectations of the citizens? What are the expectations of party friends? What are the expectations of the villages? We should study and bring this issue. “It is not a big deal to limit the number of 165 to 100 or 125 as is being discussed, but when we amend the constitution, these issues must be amended,” Sharma said. “Managing proportional representation is a matter that must be discussed in depth. But the most important issue that needs to be discussed is that after the current constitutional amendment, this country has a duty to find a system where the same prime minister can serve for five consecutive years in a country where the same prime minister has not ruled for five consecutive years once in 70 years.”
