Don't Tamper with Draft Interim Statute: Aryal
Even as the seven-party alliance and the Maoists have different opinions on how the interim statute should look like, former Supreme Court judge Laxman Prasad Aryal said the parties should not tamper with the contents of the interim constitution. Aryal headed the panel, which had drafted the interim statute.
"They (parties and Maoists) are finding it difficult to finalise the interim statute just because they are not methodical. They are also out of step with each other," Aryal said while speaking at the Reporters Club on Sunday.
Warning the parties and the Maoists to refrain from many any changes in the text except the section where they have to fill in their point of view, Aryal suggested that the statute may be promulgated after tabling it in the House of Representatives.
"How fast or how belatedly the statute comes may now depend on how long the Parliament takes to finalise it. Any delay in the process could complicate the entire process," Aryal further said, adding that "rather than saying it must come as soon as possible, it is good to say its promulgation will depend on the homework the House of Representatives does in this connection."
He was also of the view that part of the reason why there is delay in promulgating the constitution is the delay incurred by the UN system in kick starting the management of arms following a definite mandate.
