CHITWAN: Nepali and Indian experts have concluded that state restructuring should be carried out keeping civilian liberty in mind.

Such an opinion came during the conclusion of the two-day seminar organised to share experience of Indian constitution drafting process in Chitwan today.

The programme concluded that language, caste, cultural identity and natural resources should be made the basis of state restructuring, said Mahesh Neupane, Secretary of Human Rights Protection Forum Chitwan (HRPFC).

It also reasoned out that people's views should be discerned since 601 Constituent Assembly members cannot be decisive.

On the occasion, Indian legal expert Satish Chandra Jha said that India is still suffering as state were restructured by lawmakers without knowing public views.

Nepali and Indian constitutional experts, political experts, human rights activists, legal experts, civil society leaders, CA members and former lawmakers attended the function organised by Adarsha Samaj Nepal, BP Koirala Nepal-India Foundation and HRPFC.
