Nepal PM won't resign unless army integration issue is settled | | Prime Minister Madhav Kumar Nepal 's political advisor Raghuji Panta has said Nepal will not step down until there is an agreement on the integration of Maoist combatants with the Nepal Army. According to Nepalnews, Panta said there should be an agreement
on the number of Maoist combatants before the Prime Minister could consider resigning.
"The Prime Minister has no compulsion to resign just because of the Unified CPN
(Maoist) agitation. Panta's views come at a time when Nepal is facing increasing
pressure from the Maoists, a section of his own party, CPN (UML) and the business
community to resign to end the current political standoff. American and European
Union diplomats have also expressed dissatisfaction over government's refusal
to break the deadlock. Meanwhile, the Unified CPN (Maoist) has declined a request
made by Nepal to come for talks. A Maoist Standing Committee meeting concluded
that the government seems unwilling for a political consensus. |
