Upadhyay said, “It is not possible to issue a constitution on January 22. Therefore, we have to make adjustments. Parties are narrowing differences on forms of governance, electoral system and judiciary. Disputes are there only about the delineation of provincial borders. We will soon reach an understanding in this regard.”

Ruling parties Nepali Congress (NC) and Communist Party of Nepal-Unified Marxist Leninist (CPN-UML) during a meeting in Kathmandu on March 3 decided to urge Constituent Assembly (CA) Chairman Subas Nembang to resume the stalled CA process, reports Kantipur Online. Both the parties also asked the Unified Communist Party of Nepal-Maoist (UCPN-M)-led alliance to sit for talks without further delay. On February 13, the CA meeting was postponed indefinitely for the sake of bringing the opposition parties on board. Despite Prime Minister Sushil Koirala’s repeated calls, the opposition parties have refused to come to the negotiating table. Leaders attending the meeting, however, said they would continue their efforts to hold a dialogue with the agitating parties in order to build consensus on the key disputes. Meanwhile, UCPN-M Chairman Pushpa Kamal Dahal aka Prachanda said that it would be difficult to forge consensus on disputed issues in constitution making if the opposition alliance is forced to launch second phase of protests, reports Republica on March 4. Dahal said “The ruling parties have to express commitment that the new statute would respect the spirit of Comprehensive Peace Agreement (CPA). Second, they have to say they will bring new statute through consensus and not through voting in CA.” Stating that they are planning second phase of protests, Dahal said they wish to see the ruling parties create environment favourable for talks before March 6.

A day after the UCPN-M-led 30 opposition parties alliance has called off its agitation programmes, UCPN-M Chairman Pushpa Kamal Dahal aka Prachanda on April 1 told Central Committee members and CA members at an emergency meeting in Kathmandu that a minor blow wouldn’t have any effect on NC and Communist Party of Nepal-Unified Marxist Leninist (CPN-UML) and therefore they needed to go for a stronger movement, reports The Himalayan Times. During the briefing, he said the change in the previous plan was made with a view to strengthen the internal party structure so as to make necessary preparations for the three-day nationwide strike from April 7-9 and to keep some space for official talks if the ruling parties wished.

Unified Communist Party of Nepal-Maoist (UCPN-M) on April 2, sought revision of the nine-point joint proposal forwarded by Nepali Congress (NC) and Communist Party of Nepal-Unified Marxist Leninist (CPN-UML) in line with the January19 understanding between parties as a way out of the current political stalemate, reports myrepublica.com. Talking to journalists at the parliamentary party office in Singha Durbar, Kathmandu, and UCPN-M Chief Whip Giri Raj Mani Pokhrel said consensus has become illusive as ruling parties continue to stick to their nine-point proposal. The ruling NC and CPN-UML had forwarded a nine-point joint proposal to the Constitutional Political Dialogue and Consensus Committee (CPDCC) of the Constituent Assembly (CA) on November 3 as their first move toward bringing majority-based constitution. "We have seen a meeting point with the ruling parties if they rectify their joint proposal," said Pokhrel. "We have not seen any possibility of consensus unless the ruling parties rectify their nine-point proposal," said Pokhrel.

Six Maoist parties including the UCPN-M, submitting a joint memorandum to Prime Minister Sushil Koirala at his residence in Baluwatar, Kathmandu, on April 3, said that the recent Supreme Court (SC) verdict on transitional justice was against the spirit of peace accord, reports ekantipur.com. The leaders of the six Maoist parties—who were a major party to the conflict—demanded immediate nullification of the SC's verdict, release of those arrested on charges of war-era cases, and enforcement of legal provision for reconciliation in war-era political cases. The SC ruling has barred the commissions--Truth and Reconciliation Committee (TRC) and Commission on Enforced Disappearance (CED)—from initiating reconciliation on their own without victims’ consent. The apex court on February 26 had annulled the provision to provide blanket amnesty to all the cases related to the decade-long armed conflict, saying that it is against the established principles of justice, international law and the court’s earlier verdicts.

"Promulgating the new constitution is a national campaign. It is necessary to exert positive pressure to top leaders from all the people for the promulgation of the new constitution soon."

Talking to a few journalists at his residence at Lazimpat in Kathmandu on April 24, UCPN-M Chairman Pushpa Kamal Dahal said that his party is positive towards forging consensus on federalism, putting both the 7-province model of the ruling parties and the Maoist-proposed 10 province model in the draft new constitution and then going for public feedback, reports myrepublica.com. Dahal also said the constitution should not be promulgated without finalizing the major disputes over state-structuring. "Placing the issue of state-restructuring on hold is unacceptable to us, but we are ready for any give and take for settling matters," he said. "Let's put both the 7-province and 10-province models in the draft constitution and allow the people to debate them."
