Deadlock continues in Nepal between Maoists and others | The meeting between the Nepal Government and the Maoists to end the ongoing deadlock ended inconclusively as Maoists stuck to their demand on passing a resolution against President Ram Baran Yadav. The meeting took place
between the CPN (UML), the Nepali Congress and the Unified CPN (Maoist) in Singha
Durbar on Tuesday. Meeting was called by Nepal Prime Minister Madhav Kumar Nepal
after it was decided in a cabinet meeting on Tuesday to adopt flexibility on the
Maoist demands and initiate talks with them. But the talks failed as the Maoists
stood firm on their demand of allowing resolution motion against President Ram
Baran Yadav. "Steps taken by the President are unconstitutional. He has violated
civil supremacy. We have been demanding that civil supremacy should be established.
The government clearly seem to be siding with the President, so there is no possibility
of any negotiation between the two parties," said Baburam Bhattarai, Vice Chairman
and senior leader, Unified CPN (Maoist). According to President Ram Baran Yadav's
political advisor Raghuji Pant, some of the leaders proposed the Maoists to bring
either a vote of no confidence against the government or an impeachment proposal
against the President as an alternative to discuss the resolution motion filed
by the Maoists, to which they disagreed. "Concerned over the political deadlock,
the Prime Minister was apprehensive that it would create further problems and
hinder the process of constitution building. People, too have started questioning
the way the political parties are handling the issue. The Prime Minister has appealed
all the three political parties to end the impasse to maintain people's faith
in the democracy," said Pant. The Maoists are agitating against President Ram
Baran Yadav's move to overrule Maoist government's decision to sack the head of
the army---Rookmangud Katawal, which the Maoists say was unconstitutional. The
Army Chief in question has since then retired, but the Maoists are adamant and
have been staging nationwide protests till the President apologises for his move. |
