A meeting of the Constitutional Committee (CC) on Thursday could not arrive at any decision on the subjects finalised by the sub-committee as top leaders of major parties, who are members of the committee, remained absent in the debate.
Maoist chairman Pushpa Kamal Dahal, who heads the dispute resolution sub-committee, did not show up in the meeting while UML chairman Jhala Nath Khanal left the meeting early.
Today's meeting was expected to endorse some of the issues settled by the sub-committee and discuss the disputed subjects in an attempt to finalse them.
The Mohan Baidya faction has raised objection to some of the subjects agreed upon at the sub-committee including the preamble of the constitution, name of the Maoist conflict (Baidya faction wants it to be described as 'people's war'), age for adult franchise and the name of the parliament.
