Congress holds discussion with CPN Maoist

KATHMANDU – Nepali Congress president Sushil Koirala and CPN-Maoist chairman Mohan Baidya discussed the contemporary political situation in the country in a meeting today.
   
    It has been agreed in the meeting that took place at Koirala’s residence in Maharajgunj that the CPN-Maoist would be included in the meetings to be held among the parties for finding a way out of the present political stalemate, said CPN-Maoist spokesperson Pampha Bhusal who was present in the meeting.
   
    “In the meeting, we stated that the decisions made by the meeting of the four parties alone could not be termed as the national consensus. We urged for the participation of all the political parties in such meetings,” she added.
   
      Nepali Congress president Koirala said that the country was currently passing through a constitutional crisis and that there was no alternative to all the political parties becoming one to resolve the problem. He also informed the CPN-Maoist leader that he had put forth the proposal in the meeting of the four parties on Friday that the CPN-Maoist too should be included in the future meetings.
   
    Koirala also urged CPN-Maoist to call an all-sides meeting for forging political consensus and said that he would attend such a meeting.
   
    Present in the meeting were the Nepali Congress president Koirala, vice president Ram Chandra Paudel and spokesman Dilendra Prasad Badu and party chairman Baidya, general secretary Ram Bahadur Thapa and spokesperson Bhusal on behalf the CPN-Maoist. RSS
