Kathmandu (Nepal), Sep 19 (ANI): Nepal's 7th and the first constitution after it was declared a Republic nation has turned three on Tuesday. The controversial constitution promulgated in September 2015 had divided the country into two factions. It was endorsed by 90 percent of lawmakers, out of nearly 600 those remained in the Parliament of Nepal. The Madhesh based parties came against the constitution blaming it of discrimination taking down the street and running a marathon protest in the Southern Plains of Nepal.Though the constitution has turned three, the grievances over the constitution still remains. The Election Commission has successfully concluded the third phase of local level elections in a fair, free and peaceful environment. Provincial and parliamentary elections are scheduled to be held in two phases on November and December. The constitution has the mandatory provision of holding the three tier election by first week of 2018 and has been progressing over it.
