KATHMANDU, June 19: CPN (Unified Socialist) Chairman Madhav Kumar Nepal has said the State Partnership Program (SPP) agreement would be scrapped.

Addressing a program of Youth Association Nepal on Saturday, Nepal said the government should scrap SPP since it has created disputes in the country.

The former prime minister informed that he held discussions with CPN (Maoist Center) Chairperson Pushpa Kamal Dahal and leader Narayan Kaji Shrestha and Janata Samajbadi Party (JSP) Chairperson Upendra Yadav to this regard on Saturday and he was clear that the SPP would be rejected.

Nepal also stated that he would hold talks with the Prime Minister over this issue.

Although they were assured from the statements of Prime Minister Sher Bahadur Deuba and Chief of Army Staff Prabhu Ram Sharma regarding their dissenting views on SPP, confusions were added due to a recently released letter, according to leader Nepal.
