“There are serious doubts if this opportunist coalition will succeed in taking the political course to its destination,” said Khanal at a press meet organized at the party head office in Balkhu Sunday. [break]
He claimed only a consensus government would be able to accomplish the twin tasks.
Stating that the UCPN (Maoist) is a major stakeholder in the peace process, Khanal said the party should come up with concrete proposal on the peace process and demonstrate flexibility. “Maoists should come up with concrete proposal with regard to resolving the remaining contentious issues of the peace process,” he said.
Khanal also claimed that Prime Minister Bhattarai had failed to keep his words and criticized the government for transferring the home secretary. The prime minister had earlier assured that the government would not transfer top bureaucrats for at least a month.
“The transfer of home secretary has posed a serious question as to which power centre influenced him,” he said.
