Nepal now heading towards elections: PM Dahal

KATHMANDU: Prime Minister Pushpa Kamal Dahal has stated that the country has paved its path towards elections with the registration of a bill at the Legislature-Parliament Secretariat on Tuesday evening for the second amendment to the Constitution.

In a meeting with the representatives of the All Nepal Women's Association-Revolutionary (ANWA-R) at his official residence in Baluwatar this morning, PM Dahal reiterated that ensuring the steadfast unity and amity among people of the hills, mountains and plains was the utmost priority of the incumbent government.

Terming the newly registered Constitution amendment proposal as a representation of the national unity, Dahal assured, "We cannot imagine things that are against the national interest."
