KATHMANDU, Nov. 2 (Xinhua) -- Nepali Constituent Assembly (CA) Chairman Subash Nemwang on Sunday said that the constitution drafting process has been delayed due to inter-party differences.

    Addressing a press meeting organized by Press Chautari in Nawalparasi district, some 160 km southwest of Nepali capital Kathmandu, Nemwang expressed his hope that the new constitution would be drafted on time, despite the political hurdles, Nepali National News Agency RSS reported.

    He informed that CA regulations will be passed soon. According to him, the legislative regulation also is in its final stage of preparation.

    Nemwang further said that the CA has two main responsibilities, making a new constitution on time and making the government transparent and accountable to the people.

    However, United Nations Secretary General Ban Ki-moon on Saturday addressed special meeting of CA and urged government as well as political parties to draft new constitution at stipulate time.
