Speaking to the media during a BP memorial program in Chitwan this morning, the NC leader questioned, “How could the government do one right thing when the prime minister is busy securing his own post rather than [working on] peace and the constitution?” [break]
Minister Mahat further said it is largely due to the PM’s such acts that Maoists have embarked on the ‘wrong track’, adding Maoists are to blame for persistent deferral of Special Committee.
Stressing on BP Koirala’s policy of reconcilliation, Mahat said “Consensus is the need of the hour.” "But it’s Maoists who don’t want to come to terms,” he added.
Minister Mahat also claimed that the new budget tabled by the ´hapless´ government would not address any of the country´s problems.
He also said his party would not create any hurdle in the country´s ongoing peace and constitution writing processes.
