![]() On June 16, the rebels and the recently reinstated government made a landmark power-sharing agreement that would see the rebels join an interim government after the interim constitution had been drafted. "The committee has been given a mandate to draft the interim constitution in the next 15 days and we are hopeful that it will be completed within the stipulated time," said Aryal, a former supreme court justice. The interim constitution, he said, would clarify the position of the king, recommend an alternative body to parliament, and announce the date for constituent assembly elections. "Once the interim constitution is drafted it will be handed over to the government-Maoists talks team for approval," Aryal said. |
