A
meeting between the Unified
Communist Party of Nepal-Maoist
(UCPN-M)
and the Nepali Congress
(NC) leaders held on November
8 ended without any sign
of consensus on finding
a way out of the protracted
deadlock anytime soon, reports
Nepal News. UCPN-M
chairman Pushpa Kamal Dahal
urged the NC leadership
to allow the Government
to present the budget for
the remaining period of
the current fiscal year.
He also asked the NC to
join the current Government
to give it the shape of
a unity Government. NC leaders
were quick to reject Dahal's
proposal.
Meanwhile,
Prime Minister Baburam Bhattarai,
on October 7, warned former
king Gyanendra Shah of cutting
facilities being provided
by the Government if he
tried to take benefit of
country’s transition. He
also clarified that ownership
of ex-king’s parental property
has been transferred to
Nepal Trust and he had no
rights to claim the property. |
