Talking to journalists at a press meet organised by Nepal Press Union, Morang Chapter here in Biratnagar on Saturday, leader KC said the major political parties have been making utmost efforts to forge political consensus among the political parties in and outside of the Constituent Assembly (CA).

Expressing his hope that the new constitution will be promulgated in the slated time, NC leader KC said the Political Dialogue and Consensus Committee in the CA would settle the disputed contents of the constitution by September 30 and the bring the draft of the new constitution by the end of October.

He further said the political parties have dispute regarding the nature of federal structure and the forms of governance and that NC was for seven states -two in Tarai region, four in hilly region, and one in the Kathmandu Valley.

Leader KC argued that forming the states on the basis of ethnic identity, and One Madhesh, One Province was not possible from the geographical point of view.

He ruled out the need of High-Level Political Committee, saying there was already the Constituent Assembly, the supreme body to draft the constitution.

Responding to the queries relating to CK Raut's views, leader KC said people having trust and faith in Nepal would not forgive Raut, adding that his case had already entered the legal process.
