Last month on 21^st October we have received the letter from Minister of Home Affairs regarding the constitutional amendment, 125 amendment bill 2019 and the Home Ministry has given us certain questions, asked for our comments about an amendment bill regarding District Council. Similar letters came before also in 2009, 2013 but unfortunately the previous Govt didn’t entertain the matter”.
