UML Chairman KP Oli Supposed To Participate

Leader Nepal said that it would not be wise to term the constitution promulgated with more than 90 percent majority in Parliament as ‘incomplete’. Leader Khanal also pointed out the special features of the constitution saying, “It is fully democratic, patriotic, progressive constitution that is oriented towards the principle of socialism.” Hinting at Madhes-centric parties, leader Nepal further said, “Let’s discuss the contentious issues of the constitution and try to forge consensus on it. But let’s not create trouble by raising unnecessary issues.” General Secretary, who received warm appreciation for beginning his speech in local Maithili language, said that his political career began from Dhanusa district and that he was a true friend of Madhes and Madhesi people. He said he was committed to provide constitutional recognition to languages like Maithili and Bhojpuri. UML Chairman KP Oli was supposed to participate in the gathering. But he failed to mark his presence. Second rung UML leaders Ghanshyam Bhusal, Pradeep Gyawali, Gokarna Bista, Yogesh Bhattarai, among others, were present at the ceremony.
