he CPN (UML) has asked the government to issue the Election of the Members of the Constituent Assembly Act without changes in the draft forwarded by the Election Commission (EC). Senior UML leaders including party chairman Jhala Nath Khanal met chairman of the interim election commission Khil Raj Regmi at the latter's Baluwatar residence Thursday evening and suggested him to issue the amended Act with the provision for one percent threshold for the parties to get represented in the would-be CA. The UML leaders made it clear that the party is also in favour of the provision, as mentioned in the EC's proposal, to bar crime convicts from contesting the elections in less than six years after the completion of the sentence. The draft law remains pending with some parties including the UCPN (Maoist) and the smaller parties opposing the one percent threshold and the disqualification criteria. Nepalnews.com

No criminals should be able to held any political positions? But to be a politicain that is the top most character and skill they needed and mostly elected.भारतीय डाका नेपालि  नागरिकता लिएर नगर सभा को सदस्यमा उठ्दा उसको घर घरमा गएर भोट माग्ने मूल मन्त्र " तलाई राति आनन्दले सुत्न मन लाग्छ कि लाग्दैन "? उसको त्यो सिट उत्तर कोरियाको किम इल सुंगलाइ झैँ  नमरुन्जेललाइ   पेवा भएको छ |
