Hamal said that although his party had withdrawn from the task force preparing a discussion paper on constitutional amendment, it was not opposed to the fundamental objectives of amending the Constitution.
He also cautioned against the government's continued reliance on ordinances to address urgent issues, arguing that frequent use of the ordinance route could weaken parliamentary practice and undermine the legislative process.
