Siraha, February 9:

Minister without portfolio and Nepali Congress central leader Sujata Koirala today said the government brought the interim constitution crossing the mandate of the Jana Andolan II.

Addressing a function on ‘Madhes and the Constitution Assembly’ organised by the Tarun Dal in Siraha, she said, “The Jana Andolon II has given the mandate of holding the CA election and reinstating the parliament standing on the 2047 constitution, but the government was compelled to write the interim constitution due to the Maoists.”

Though Prime Minister Girija Prasad Koirala fulfilled the demands raised by the Maoists, the Maoists were involved in activities to disrupt the constituent assembly election, she said.
