33 parties urge international community to stop aids for polls

KATHMANDU, July 20: Thirty-three different political parties including the CPN-Maoist have called on the international community to extend support to the election only after the participation of all the parties was guaranteed.



In a press release issued on behalf the 33 parties here on Saturday, CPN-Maoist leader Dev Prasad Gurung stated that this election which has been termed as the election to the Constituent Assembly and which has been declared without the political consensus among the parties would not give an outlet to the nation but invite even greater national crisis.[break]



Election without the participation of all political parties would have no relevance and we urge the friendly countries and the donor agencies to stop all kinds of assistance to be provided for the election purpose, the press release states.
