BUTWAL, July 14: Government Spokesperson and Minister for Information and Communications Shankar Pokharel on Wednesday said the current Madhav Nepal-led government should be restored as the fully functional government as the UCPN (Maoist) has failed to build national consensus.



The government has fallen to caretaker status following Prime Minister Madhav Nepal´s resignation on July 1 under Maoist pressure who put his resignation as a precondition for national consensus.



Pokharel was of the view that the Maoists must seek public apology for claiming that all would be settled after Nepal´s resignation.



“The Maoists must help in reinstating the present government and seek apology to the public,” he said at a program organized by ANNFSU, Rupandehi, in Butwal.



He claimed that the country will not get a better leadership than that of Madhav Nepal as he ran the government in the most challenging times. He said it is surprising that those leaders who said consensus would come once the prime minister resigned are now keeping mum.



Stating that only demands will not generate consensus, he pointed the need to develop trust among the political parties.
