Kathmandu, 12 arch: After a prediction of the slaughter of “more than 50,000
persons’ if a constitution to institutionalize a republic by toppling traditional monarchy by 28 May, an opposition leader Sunday predicted military rule of Maoists or Nepal Army.
RPP-Nepal Chairman Kamal Thapa predicted a constitution won’t be promulgated—also predicted by Nilamba Acharya, the person who heads a constitution drafting
committee.
‘It’s certain that the new constitution will not be promulgated within the
stipulated deadline. It will lead to a situation of might is right and armed forces
will seize the power,” Thapa said in east Nepal Sunday.
He added Maoists, who still have an army, or government forces will takeover
“It’s now possible now to promulgate a constitution by 28 May. This situation
has to be tackled with the consensus and initiative of political parties
Relations between parties also have to be changed,’ the soft-spoken lawyer, Russian language export and a law minister in the for cabinet of former Prime Minister Krishna Prasad Bhattarai said.
Acharya steered the drafting of a multi-party constitution to replace a basic law that banned political parties until 1990
“A constitution will never come even after May 28 if there’s no environment for understanding and confidence between parties, ’he added.
Prime Minister Baburam Bhattarai is the only person who predicts a basic law will be promulgated that too under his government’s leadership amid deep differences
on fundamentals with opposition charging the party leading the government on attempting to create a communist state.
Bhattarai blames opposition parties even though he is isolated in his own UCPN
(Maoist) with a faction demanding the premier for deviation and pro-India tendencies.
But he blamed the opposition only Sunday amid immediate reaction of parties outside government.
“The prime minister who does not have the full support of his own party should
not accuse opposition parties for problems,’ Dr Prakash Chandra Lohani, top
leader of RJP said
