Indian Ambassador Shiv Shanker Mukherjee on Wednesday said that Nepal could set its own example on the issue of holding of the Constituent Assembly (CA) polls.
Speaking to the media people after he conferred with Prime Minister Girija Prasad Koirala, ambassador Mukherjee said that finalizing election policies to meet international standards was not a priority issue. He was of the opinion that Nepal could set its own example in regard to the CA polls.
The remarks of Mukherjee comes amidst comments from some diplomatic corps that holding of the CA polls by stipulated time was not possible, and that the election would lose its credibility in front of the world community, if held forcefully.
He also clarified that the Indian government would support and assist whatever election date the eight parties decide on.
Before this, the envoy met PM Girija Prasad Koirala at the latter's residence in Baluwatar. In the 20- minute long discussion, the duo had discussed Indo-Nepal border issues, latest political developments of Nepal and other various issues of mutual interest.
