New Nepal PM asks Maoists to join govt.

Font size: Decrease font Enlarge font
Prime Minister Madhav Kumar Nepal has asked the Maoists to join his coalition government and help it in bringing the fragile peace process to its logical conclusion.

'I call upon the Maoists to join the government to move ahead the peace process,' he said in his maiden address to the nation. The 56-year-old CPN(UML) leader was sworn in as PM Monday to fill the vaccum created by the resignation of Prime Minister Prachanda three weeks ago

Although Prachanda had to quit the top post (of Prime Minister) due to certain circumstances controversy over the Maoist plan to sack the army chief), I don't see any reason that why he should stop the journey of cooperation and collaboration at this moment, Nepal said.

'Let's forget the past bitterness and move ahead forging new understanding and cooperation', the veteran Communist leader said. .
