Nepal urges PM to pave way for national consensus govt


Kathmandu, Dec 24, Former prime minister and senior CPN-UML leader Madhav Kumar Nepal Saturday said that the prime minister should pave the way for the formation of the national consensus government.
Speaking at a training programme organized by the party’s coordination committee at its central office in Balkhu, he said that the peace and constitution writing processes were under the shadow and the prime minister was reluctant to call the Army Integration Special Committee meeting to intensify the peace process.
He accused the UCPN-Maoist of not being serious to conclude the tasks of peace and constitution and of hampering the calendar made for the purpose.
He said, "The Maoists are trying to render the calendar for completing the tasks of peace and constitution meaningless."
Nepal said that the leaders of major parties were unable to intensify the peace and constitution drafting processes. "They are involved in a blame game," he added.
He said that his party had succeeded to intensify the ideological and practical movements to conclude the national tasks and stressed that the UML should work to end the bad political culture promoted by the Maoists.
He said that the UML was ready to realize its mistakes and keep the party united for peace and constitution.
UML politburo member Astha Laxmi Shakya said that the UML had no rift regarding the party’s ideological and theoretical grounds. Responsibilities would be provided to all leaders and cadres after analyzing their competencies, Shakya added.
Party general secretary Ishwor Pokharel and secretary Yubaraj Gyawali are assigned to train the party cadres.
Meanwhile, chief whip of CPN-UML Bhim Acharya said that time had arrived to seek an alternative to the present government.
Talking to journalists in his hometown in Inaruwa, Sunsari, Acharya said that as the government failed to work in favour of the people and inked an ‘impure’ agreement with the Madhesis, time was rife to replace the government with a new one.
