UCPN (M) for 'package solution'

reprinted from nepalnews.com



The Unified CPN (Maoist) has called for 'package agreement' on the issues it has been raising.  A meeting of the senior Maoist leaders held Thursday morning concluded that the issue of civilian supremacy and the demand for rectifying the President's move should be addressed altogether.  Maoist vice chairman Narayankaji Shrestha said the party would push for a package solution in today's three-party meeting.  The leaders of the three main parties are to meet in the afternoon.

According to, party secretary C.P Gajurel, the Nepali Congress and the CPN (UML), which were not ready to change their position on the President's move earlier, have now softened their stance and are more likely to agree on a package solution.

At the meeting today, party chairman Pushpa Kamal Dahal informed the leaders about his three-day visit to Singapore where he discussed a possible solution to the current deadlock with Nepali Congress president Girija Prasad Koirala, who is undergoing treatment at a hospital there.

Immediately after landing in Kathmandu airport yesterday, Dahal claimed that the current 22-party government is going to be toppled within a few days and that a new coalition will be formed. He would not elaborate.
