Members of opposition parties Nepali Congress (NC) and Terai Madhes Loktantrik Party (TMLP) have warned of obstructing the session of the Constituent Assembly (CA) from Saturday.

On Friday, speaking at CA, NC leader Dr. Ram Sharan Mahat said that they will obstruct the session if the government does not clarify about reports that Maoist commander Kali Bahadur Kham Magar is being protected even though he faces charges of killing one Ram Hari Shrestha.

He demanded that Defense Minister Ram Bahadur Thapa Badal resign if it is proved that he met with Magar, as reported by some media.

The NC leader also demanded immediate return of seized lands and properties.

On the other hand, TMLP leader Hridayesh Tripathy asked the government to dissolve the special committee and reconstitute it as per the constitution and political understanding. He also threatened to block CA session, otherwise. nepalnews.com Nov 08 08
