“The chairman [Jhala Nath Khanal] didn´t mention about the issue of mechanism in the party´s politburo meeting that concluded on Thursday,” he said. Oli opined that it would have been better had there been discussions prior to forming the mechanism.
Meanwhile, UCPN (Maoist) Vice Chairman Dr Baburam Bhattarai on Saturday said the HLPM will bear no meaning unless consensus and cooperation is forged among major political parties.
Addressing party cadres in Dhankuta, Dr Bhattarai also instructed them to be prepared for next round of movement as Nepal´s independence was at stake due to growing interference of foreign powers.
Dr Bhattarai said that the Maoists are ready to resolve the ongoing political deadlock through cooperation and consensus. He said they were compelled to launch fresh movement due to unconstitutional moves of the ruling parties.
