Easy

constitution is a serious
matter and not something that
can be done overnight (kp

constitutional amendment must
not be used to further
exacerbate the social
non-inclusion in favour of the
minority of male Khas Arya,
especially Bahun, which was
re-established in the

primarily serves to maintain
this imbalance and does not

Final

lawmakers elected through proportional
representation system (kh 21/02/2024) [Then one could also say
straight away: the elections to the Constituent
Assemblies and the adoption of the new
constitution were not based on the interim
constitution. Consequently, all governments and
parliaments since then would be illegitimate and
should be dissolved immediately. While the
former statement is entirely true, it does not
help the country and its people in view of the
chaos caused by the top politicians and now also
the Hindu fundamentalists and monarchists!]
