"The meeting arrived at a conclusion that the stalemate will deepen further in the days to come if the government doesn´t change its working style," UML Secretary Shankar Pokharel told Republica. [break]"Therefore, our party needs to take initiatives to end the deadlock."
He said the party will press the government to scrap the recent controversial cabinet decision that sought to legalize the land transactions done under the arbitration of the then rebel Maoist party´s ´people´s government´ and to expedite the peace process.
The meeting also decided to call the party´s politburo meeting for two days starting February 8 to deliberate over the political documents to be presented by Chairman Jhalanath Khanal at the meeting of the party´s National Representatives´ Council.
