The Political Dialogue and Consensus Committee, one of the five CA committees formed to prepare the new constitution, has also been heavily disputed with all parties staking its claim for leadership.
The Committee is mandated to forge consensus among parties on disputed issues by holding talks with parties, both inside and outside the CA. Some NC and UML leaders have gone public questioning the existence of such a powerful HLPC which, according to them, would infringe the tasks of sovereign CA. The Maoist, however, is of the view that the cross-party mechanism will help guide the overall peace and constitution drafting process.
The major parties have prioritised to select the committee chairmen through consensus in order to create a conducive political environment for drafting the constitution.
"The relevance of HLPC and chairmen of committees are being discussed," said Nepali Congress Vice-President Ram Chandra Poudel. A three-party meeting is scheduled to take place on Friday evening to take a final decision on HLPC and leadership of CA committees.
