Posted on | augustus 23, 2011 | No Comments

Sunil Babu Pant one of the Constitution Assembly (CA) Member of Nepal started a protest demonstration (dharna ) program against the current situation of no progress in the constitution making process here in Hanumandhoka from Monday. The demonstration will start from 5 PM every day and further grow accordingly.

According to Pant, “There has been no progress in the constitution making process from the past few months. The extension of the CA is irrelevant in such regards to no work no pay theme when no progress is happening and the CA member are splurging the salaries and perks with the people tax paid money. People have waited for their constitution from the past three years where the political parties are playing power games and power politics instead of finding a solution to the political deadlock. The limited political ideologies and selfish motives of the parties have been obstructing the constitution making process where people aspirations have been sidelines and underestimated. The CA’s main priority is to make constitution where we are lacking our priority towards finding a solution for current situation of instability rather than creating more problems. Extension is a situation of solution but it’s not a solution. It is a priority of finding solution which needs to be understood and worked on.”

“Till date we have been practicing autocratic pattern or idea of following one man ruling which is so wrong in democracy every person has the right and will of freedom of expression and we all should voice for our betterment and take leadership from our individual sides,” added he.

Sunil Babu Pant is the same CA Member who had declared not to take any salary for the extension period of the constitution making process with NO WORK NO PAY theme on moral grounds. It is on moral grounds that Pant requested the chairman of the Constitution Assembly Subash Nembang to rightfully reject his salary and wages after the extension period of 28 may 2011.
