Three parties agree for once (DEVELOPING STORY)

Kathmandu, 24 May: Maoists, NC and UML agreed Monday morning to ask Chairman Subash Nemwang to stop debate on a government bill to amend the interim constitution for the 8th time to extend the tenure of the constituent assembly that ends Friday.
Parliament meets Friday and the government is scheduled to table the bill in the house.
A summit of the three parties also agreed to meet Tuesday to find a way to end the prolonged deadlock after a meeting was inconclusive Monday.
RP-Nepal Chairman Kamal Thapa Monday opposed a government move to extend the CA tenure.
“The CA failed to proclaim a constitution not because of time constraint,” he said and accused parties by wasting time on power grab politics and predicted a constitution can’t be implemented without finding out reasons for the failure of parties to meet a two-year deadline to draft a basic law.
“The differences are between passengers in a bus from the capital to Kakartitta [east] and Mahendranagar [west]. Differences have surfaced at Narayanghat,” he told Kantipur Television.
A constitution can’t be drafted without sorting out fundamental differences between extreme communism and liberal democracy,
