On March 19, representatives of the seven political parties and Maoists announced an agreement to launch a fresh agitation on April 6 against King Gyanendra. Both the sides made public the Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) through separate statements. The agitation programme starting on April 6 includes a four-day general strike and civil disobedience movement, besides a large public rally in the capital Kathmandu on April 8. While the parties demanded restoration of the dissolved parliament (through people’s movement), formation of a powerful all-party Government, peace talks with the rebels and a new Constitution through elections to the Constituent Assembly, the Maoists demanded a national political conference of all democratic forces, formation of an interim Government and elections to the constituent assembly. Dubbing this only as a "procedural difference", the seven-party alliance said, "The agitating seven political parties and the CPN Maoists have also reached an understanding to resolve this procedural difference through ongoing dialogues aimed at reaching a common understanding. They also accept the fact that people’s movement is the only way for achieving the common goal."
