Speaking at a press conference organized by the Ilam chapter of Revolutionary Journalists’ Association here, Gurung said, “With the declaration of election date, certainly there would be launching of national liberation war or civil war in the country”. [break]



“They may succeed to hold elections through mobilization of army but it would invite confrontations and civil war in the country,” Gurung added.



On the occasion, he reiterated his party’s stance for holding a round table conference of all parties to decide on various matters including the declaration of the poll date.



Speaking at the conference, Gurung ruled out any prospects of his party’s unification with UCPN (Maoist). He said that UCPN (Maoist) chairman Pushpa Kamal Dahal’s recent statement on the unification was just as ploy to threaten to CPN-UML and Nepal Congress.
