Though the NC and UML have already refused to accept the reports, this is the first time that the Maoist leadership has publicly announced the party’s position on the report. Stating that it is not mandatory for the party to accept the SRC reports, Dahal said the federal map proposed by SRC is not acceptable to his party. [break]
“Whether it is the demarcation of Chitwan or of other provinces, standing committee of our party has decided not to accept the SRC recommendation,” he further said. Dahal also said that a divided Chitwan would not be acceptable to the party.
“I am both your son and guardian. So, I will not hurt your sentiments,” Dahal said.
In a separate context, Dahal urged the political parties to support him in fulfilling people’s aspirations. He claimed that major tasks of the peace process would conclude within the next 20 days.
Speaking at the same function, NC leader Dr Ramsharan Mahat said the Maoists will have to share the major responsibility of concluding the peace process and constitution writing.
Similarly, UML leader Bharat Mohan Adhikari urged the Maoist chairman to be sincere toward the task of concluding the peace process and constitution writing.
