According to latest information, the leaders have even agreed to the wording of the agreement. Maoists have given up their stance that the agreement should include the word “resignation” of the prime minister and have agreed to write prime minister will ‘pave way’ for the formation of national consensus government at appropriate time.[break]
"We are ready to help extend the CA terms if a commitment of resignation of the Prime Minister comes in a language that is understandable to people," Maoist Vice-chair Dr Baburam Bhattarai told the media.
However, Maoist leaders are demanding for gentleman’s agreement (not to be written anywhere or to be made public) on after how many days will Prime Minister Nepal resign. Nepali Congress and UML leaders have so far rejected to fix such a date for PM’s resignation.
Because of this difference, the parties are yet to ink the final deal.
