The new generation is also raising this same issue. Let&#8217;s begin the debate on constitution amendment by keeping good governance at the centre,&#8221; he added. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On the occasion, Thapa warned that the country could plunge into a new conflict if the issue of constitution amendment was not handled in the right manner. &#8220;The aspect of constitution amendment should be viewed through a historical viewpoint and mindset. This is not a matter to deal in haste and sentiment. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Constitution amendment in itself is a sensitive issue,&#8221; according to the NC President. Thapa reiterated that a mixed electoral system and the parliament-elected executive head would be appropriate in a country like Nepal and argued that the provincial government and local government should be empowered. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Gandaki Province Chief Minister Surendraraj Pandey also spoke at the event, stating that federalism should be strengthened by minimising the wrong practices seen in the course of implementation of federalism.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>RSS<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Gandaki: Nepali Congress (NC) President Gagan Kumar Thapa has said that the debate on constitution amendment should be initiated by keeping good governance at the centre.
