Various members of the House of Representatives have said that there should be an interim constitution before holding the election of the constituent assembly.

Speaking at an interaction in the capital on Monday, UML parliamentarian Jaganath Khatiwada said the government should issue the interim constitution to institutionalize the recent political change in the country.

Nepali Congress Democratic MP Ramesh Lekhak has said it would be easier to work as per the aspiration of the people after the issuance of the interim constitution.

Nava Raj Subedi, of People’s Front Nepal said election for the constituent assembly should be held to ensure that all important decisions are taken as per people’s aspiration.

Nepali Congress MP Mahantha Thakur said the government should not fear to take any decision as the reinstated parliament is very powerful.

However, speaking at the same programme, representative of civil society Dr. Sundar Mani Dixit alleged that parliamentarians had started talking lightly after entering the parliament.
