He also asked the Madhes-based parties to furnish clear outline of the citizenship problem before the government if they want the problem to be settled.[break]
"Furnish clear outline on citizenship problem. The government is ready to address citizenship problem. But don´t obstruct EC´s voter registration program because it is also important for all parties and the country," he added.
Madhes-based parties have been obstructing voter registration program in various parts of the Tarai demanding that the program should be conducted only after distribution of citizenship to those Nepalis who still do not have citizenship certificate.
The prime minister said that the new voter registration program will also help develop National Identity Card (NID) and asked Madhes-based parties to come up with a solid outline on the citizenship problem.
The prime minister said he will send a message to the UN General Secretary´s special team that the peace process is heading in a progressive way. The UN´s special team is arriving in Nepal Wednesday.
New govt only after consensus: PM
ITAHARI, Oct 5: Prime Minister Madhav Kumar Nepal on Tuesday said the new government will be formed only after political parties arrive at a consensus on issues related to peace process and constitution writing.
“New government will only be formed after the political parties forge a consensus,” said the prime minister.
Stating that lack of trust among political parties was the reason behind the current stalemate, Nepal urged all to fulfill their past commitments. Nepal said the growing rift between the political parties is making it easier for monarchists to be active. He, however, dismissed any possibility of the revival of a cultural or religious king.
