An open letter from Image Channel to Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi.Why is there such a gap between your wonderful words and your actions?After 13 years of Maoist insurgency, dethroning of Monarchy, and 7 years in the making, the new constitution was drafted with overwhelming 90% approval by the 2nd Constituent Assembly lawmakers. 2nd Nepalese Constituent Assembly was formed as the result of the 2013 Constituent Assembly elections after the failure of the first Constituent Assembly to pass a new constitution. 90% includes CA members from Madhesh as well and remaining 10% is not all Madhesh CA members who did not sign the constitution.India wanted this new constitution to be drafted with "Widest possible consensus" and hence delayed until all the issues of the agitated Madhesh leaders' demands were addressed.
