KATHMANDU: The Constituent Assembly’s Constitution Drafting Committee (CDC) has directed five sub-committees under it to prepare draft proposals as per the recent 16-point pact made by four major political parties within three days.

The committee meeting today decided to make the draft proposal through the respective sub-committees by Wednesday by holding continuous meeting, said lawmaker Ramesh Lekhak.

The Constitutional Political Dialogue and Consensus Committee (CPDCC) report based on the 16-point agreement has now come to the CDC for draft after endorsement by the CA.

The CDC sub-committees have been assigned to finalise other disputed issues that were not addressed by the 16-point pact.

The sub-committees include Legislature Sub-committee under the convenorship of Bharat Mohan Adhikari, Justice Sub-committee headed by Ramesh Lekhak, Executive Sub-committee led by Hitraj Pandey, Preamble Sub-committee led by Jitendra Dev and Fundamental Rights Sub-committee led by Aindra Sundar Nembang.

Lawmaker Lekhak shared that the committee will start the constitution drafting process after receiving the sub-committees' reports. The draft will be carried out either through a taskforce or by following other procedures.

Though the sub-committees had already finalised their reports, the CDC directed them to revise it as per the spirit of 16-point pact, lawmaker Rewati Raman Bhandari said.
