KATHMANDU: Chairman of major opposition CPN-UML, KP Sharma Oli, has expressed wonders why the government advocating for Constitution amendment rather than making preparations for elections.

During a talk programme organised by the student wing of the party, ANNFSU, here Sunday, Chairman Oli argued that the Constitution could not be amended without any reason.

It is a high time government focused elections, he underscored.

He, however, said the Constitution could be amended for the elections.

"Let's seek the provisions that bar elections on time, and amend it," he urged the government, adding that an amendment must not result into any crisis in the country.

The former Prime Minister said his party was ready to wage a struggle for keeping intact national integrity, unity, democracy and bringing prosperity.

"I cannot tolerate the ill attempts that jeopardise the country's sovereignty and interference in internal affairs," he emphasised.

According to him, the provision of 33 per cent reservation for women should be increased to ensure more rights and opportunities for women.

Once the participation of women was increased in every state mechanism, they would be empowered for leadership and responsibility, viewed the UML Chairman.
