Ministry of Law, Justice and Parliamentary Affairs on January 1 registered a bill to amend some Nepal Acts to update 193 existing laws in accordance with the new Constitution, reports Republica. The Ministry took the initiative to bring the new Constitution into implementation. Altogether 193 existing laws contravene various provisions of the new constitution that was promulgated on September 20. The Ministry has been working with the target of establishing one high court in each seven provinces within a year. As there is no provision of appellate courts in the new Constitution, these courts will be adjusted in the structure of the high courts. Similarly, the ministry is working to formulate 138 new laws as required by the new Constitution. The Ministry is planning to entrust a team of four experts and experienced members with the responsibility of formulating the new laws.

Separately, United Democratic Madhesi Front (UDMF) on January 1 made it clear that it would neither take part in deliberations on the constitution amendment bill nor relax the ongoing agitation till its demands were met, reports The Himalayan Times. Co-chairman of Sadbhawana Party (SP) Laxman Lal Karna said “The way our voice is being ignored in the Parliament, it is clear that the major parties do not give any importance to small parties. We are not thinking of relaxing the border blockade or other protests programmes before our demands are met. If anybody says that the front is going to relax its protest programmes, then they are wrong.”

In the meantime, Nepali Congress (NC) General Secretary Krishna Prasad Sitaula speaking to journalists in Pokhara city of Kaski District on January 4 claimed that the concerns raised by the agitating forces could be settled through the constitution amendment, reports The Himalayan Times.

As the country has been facing humanitarian crisis, we need to seek political stability to address the genuine demands of the agitating forces in the plains at the earliest. Nepali people have not felt peace, security and wellbeing ever since the government was formed; this government has failed to ensure these fundamentals to the people.”

Meanwhile, Chairperson of FSF-N, a constituent of UDMF, Upendra Yadav on January 5, condemned the statute amendment bill tabled in the Parliament, saying it wouldn’t address the demands of Madhes agitation, reports The Himalayan Times. “I don’t believe the issues that couldn’t be resolved through talks with top political leaders of the major parties will be settled by forming a task force as our agenda is change in state demarcation,” said Yadav, speaking at a press conference organised in Birgunj. “The fact is that the major parties and the government are pretending to hold talks only to keep us engaged. Although we realise this fact, we’re still cooperating to find a solution to the present crisis. However, the government’s current tactic won’t stop out agitation,” he added.
