Kathmandu, Sept.6 (ANI): Political parties in Nepal continue to be sharply divided over contentious issues related to the Constitution, and are unlikely to meet Saturday’s deadline for settling them. In cross-party talks, the ruling Nepali Congress and CPN-UML proposed that two reports-on agreed and disputed issues-be presented to the CA so that the calendar needs no amendment. These parties argue that there will be room to settle disputes even after the CA takes up contentious issues, but opposition parties disagree, saying that the deadline should be extended to allow more time for agreement among the parties. Opposition parties expressed fears that the contentious issues may be put to vote if they are taken to the CA as the ruling parties command a two thirds majority there.
