While stating that such strikes could seriously vitiate an environment for holding fresh polls, the government has reminded the agitating front and its allies that their problems can be resolved through talks.
While stating that the government is always ready to hold talks, Minister Poudel, who is also the spokesperson for the government, said, “The government requests the agitating alliance to withdraw all protest programs.”
The alliance has been staging protests demanding dissolution of the Chief Justice-led Interim Election Council of Ministers and formation of a new election government under the leadership of political parties. They have also decided to boycott talks with the major parties unless they agree to dissolve the CJ-led government.
