In an apparent reference to demands by political parties for holding of peace talks with the Maoist insurgents, Deuba said no government could be against the idea of negotiations. He also reminded that that it was he who had started the peace process with the insurgents, who later walked out of it to re-launch the insurrection. "I was the one who initiated the efforts for peace talks and it is well known to all that the Maoists pulled out of the talks unilaterally," he said. He said elections would be held as scheduled in November, and brushed aside the apprehension that Maoist violence would hamper the polls. Deuba said, "The government is committed to defeat the forces of terrorism by all means and accordingly hold the elections in the specified date."
