CPN-Maoist should not be neglected: Nepal

Pokhara, August 19 – Senior leader of the CPN (UML), Madhav Kumar Nepal, has said that it was a great weakness to put the CPN-Maoist with around 92 former lawmakers, in the fifth position among parties.

 

At a news conference organised by the Press Chautari Nepal, Kaski, here today, Nepal admitted that the date of the election for the Constituent Assembly (CA) was declared, ordinance on removing difficulties was issued and understanding reached without neglecting one of the main powers.

 

Stating that CA election on November 19 was guaranteed after consensus was forged with the alliance that includes the Madhesi Janadhikar Forum-Nepal, he stressed that all should be united to hold the second CA election as national agenda is always above the party.

 

The former Prime Minister also warned that no party could move ahead in political mainstream if it loses democratic identity by not participating in the election.

 

He added that the High-Level Political Committee (HLPC) has decided to forge consensus on the disputed issues within six months after the election and to promulgate a new constitution within one year.

 

Nepal also informed that an understanding was reached to finalize the disputed issues through referendum if disputed issues were not resolved through voting process.
