Saturday’s meeting of the central committee members of the party also decided to initiate efforts for immediately promulgating the interim constitution.

The meeting also discussed about holding a top level meeting of the ruling seven party alliance and the Maoists to discuss whether to amend some articles of the interim constitution and 48 seats of the interim constitution, which are yet to be fixed.
