Maoist Centre to proceed ahead in 'constructive way' to end House deadlock

Kathmandu, June 5: The main opposition party, the Communist Party of Nepal (Maoist Centre), has decided to move forward in a creative and constructive manner to end the deadlock in Parliament. 

The meeting of the party officials held today at the residence of party chairperson Pushpa Kamal Dahal 'Prachanda', however, concluded that an investigation needed to be conducted into the issue of citizens being subjected to fraud in the visit visa scam.

"The party is not focussing on any particular individual; the main issue is to form an investigation committee and conduct an effective investigation. Discussions on this matter are ongoing. The discussions have progressed from the perspective that it must be brought to a positive conclusion," Agni Prasad Sapkota, the party vice-chair and spokesperson, said after the meeting.

He further said: "This is a serious issue, so an environment must be created for investigation. We have concluded that we should move forward with positive discussions about the operation of the House."

According to spokesperson Sapkota, in the meeting party chair Dahal provided information about the third national conference of the party's auxiliary organization, the Young Communist League (YCL), stating that its leadership will be selected through consensus in YCL.

Spokesperson Sapkota expressed the view that now is not the time to comment on the order issued by the Supreme Court regarding the conflict-related cases.

"No written order has been received in this connection, it has been interpreted and publicized (in the media) in various ways, and it is not the time to discuss or form an opinion about this. It can only be said after the full text arrives. Commenting on any part or incomplete matter of the court order does not show maturity," he said. (RSS)
