NEPALGUNJ, Aug 3: Former speaker and civil society leader Daman Nath Dhungana and rights activist Padma Ratna Tuladhar on Monday said the country could not move forward in the absence of a common political mechanism of major parties.



Speaking at an interaction organized by Human Rights Organization of Nepal (HURON) in Nepalgunj, they said there is a need of fresh initiatives from all political parties to take the ongoing peace process to a logical end. “The peace process is in peril as the political parties have failed to work together,” said Dhungana.



Tuladhar said the tasks like Constituent Assembly election were completed as per the 12-point understanding reached between the then Seven-Party Alliance (SPA) and the Maoists, there is no alternative to fresh agreement among all political parties.



The duo alleged that political parties were not serious about drafting new constitution and that this had brought about frustration among people. They said the CA must complete its task on time.
