[h=1]Nepal to stay secular, proposal for a Hindu nation rejected[/h] September 15, 2015 by Andreas Preuss
[FONT="]Nepal’s Constituent Assembly rejected calls to revert the Himalayan nation back to a Hindu state during voting Monday on a draft of the country’s long-delayed new constitution, sparking violent protests.[/FONT]
[FONT="]Nepal’s main political parties are attempting to get the new constitution passed this week.[/FONT]
[FONT="]On Monday, to declare Nepal a Hindu nation proposal was declined by the constituent assembly, which once again reaffirmed that the Nepal, which is Hindu-majority nation, will remain secular.[/FONT]
[FONT="]Nepal was converted into secular state in 2008 through a Parliament declaration, when monarchy was abolished from the country following the success of the People’s Movement. As of Monday, the 601- member CA approved 37 articles of the proposed document. Hundreds of Hindu protesters clashed with the cops outside the Assembly Hall.[/FONT]
[FONT="]He said that the voting, which was to start on Friday last week, was postponed for two days at the request of the major political parties.[/FONT]
[FONT="]Nepal has had an interim constitution since pro-democracy protests forced then-King Gyanendra to give up authoritarian rule and turn the country into a republic.[/FONT]
[FONT="]Many people in the region bordering India oppose the draft constitution, which would split their narrow homeland and merge pieces into larger provinces with other ethnic groups.[/FONT]
[FONT="]Violent protests over the past more than one month have already claimed more than 40 lives and the Madhes-based political parties and communities have boycotted the ongoing exercise in the Constituent Assembly to approve the new constitution.[/FONT]
[FONT="]According to Kuinkel, Chairman of the Constituent Assembly Subhas Nembang will extend a formal invitation to President Yadav for unveiling the much-awaited new constitution in the Nepalese capital Kathmandu.
