KATHMANDU, Sep 16 - A fresh dispute over the national flag has erupted between the UCPN (Maoist) and the other parties.
The main opposition Maoist party has been calling for the provision of a new model of national flag that should contain stars equal in numbers to the number of federal units after the restructuring of the state.
The flag row surfaced at the sub-committee formed by the Constituent Assembly (CA).
At the meeting, the UCPN (Maoist), the Rastriya Janamorcha, and the Dalit Janajati Party demanded that the country’s flag should be changed after the state restructuring.
However, the Nepali Congress, the CPN-UML, and the Nepal Majdoor Kishan Party have asserted that it is not necessary to change the national flag as it gives our national identity.
Nepal's current flag is the only national flag that is not rectangular.
