It is a contentious matter that main leaders of political parties are absent in this most important and debatable discussion in the assembly. Where do they go and what do they do by hijacking and hampering the assembly proceedings? Their presence and guidance to new assembly members is vital for timely promulgation of the constitution.
Now, politicians are debating on different versions of federalism is a welcoming step so that many pros and cons of different governance system will be known to the people. However, we should note that federations should be self-sustainable and every section of people have equal rights with no presence of discrimination in any affairs. Ethnicity-based federalism would have been valid some decades back but has become unsuitable at present due to subsiding population of a particular ethnic group in any particular place. Factors like migration, adaptation of pluralistic culture and formation of mixed ethnic societies does not allow ethnic federalism. However, cultural heritage, languages of various ethnic groups should be protected and deprived and disadvantage sections of the society should be addressed by any means. Now, the war should be fought to uplift the class and not limiting to caste.
