Maoist insurgents’ leader ‘comrade’ Prachanda, on May 9, offered a unilateral one-month cease-fire with the security forces, effective May 15, in an e-mail message sent to newspaper offices in Nepal. In his message, Prachanda said his group was willing to join other parliamentary parties in the future, but said if the government continued with its suppression during the cease-fire period, "there will be a costly, terrible war". Prime Minister Sher Bahadur Deuba, now a state visit to the United States, brushed aside the offer and said there would be no truce with the insurgents, who had declared a similar truce in 2001, abandoned it unilaterally on November 24, 2001, and launched offensives by attacking the Army barracks in Ghorai. Deuba said ,"We cannot trust them any more," in a question and answer session on CNN channel.

King Gyanendra of Nepal has dissolved the House of Representatives, the Lower House of Parliament, late at night on May 22, and has ordered for snap polls on November 13, 2002. With this development, the proposal to put to vote the extension of the state of Emergency stands nullified. Emergency was declared on November 26, 2001, in the country after the Maoist insurgents trashed the then ongoing cease-fire and resumed their campaign of terror. The government could possibly put the proposal before the National Assembly, the Upper House of Parliament, reports said, but would not confirm if a decision has been made. The state of Emergency declared in November 2001 is due to expire at zero hours on Saturday, May 26. Reports also said the government would not be able to muster a majority in the Upper House, where the main Opposition Communist Party o Nepal-United Marxist Leninist (CPN-UML) has a one-vote majority over the Ruling Nepali Congress.
