KATHMANDU, AUGUST 4

Prime Minister and CPN (UML)Chairperson KP Sharma Oli has said an amendment to the Constitution has been realized to promote progression and prosperity in the country.

He said the existing political equation involving two major political parties: the Nepali Congress and the CPN (UML) is expected to proceed with the constitution's amendment in the pursuit of progression and prosperity.

In his address to a party programme at Chyasal today, he argued that it is a false accusation to say that major parties are seeking to amend the Constitution for regression.

'The Constitution is an amendable document as per the need of the country and the people.' At the programme held at the party's central office, the party vice chair and central members nominated by the party recently were sworn in.

He added that the need to amend the country's main law has been realized to strengthen democracy, increase its gravity and acceptability, explore additional bases for development and prosperity, and get connected to the citizens. 'The Constitution is not unamendable.'

The leader further stressed that politics be practiced for clean competition and the service of citizens.
