KATHMANDU, Feb 14: Chairperson of the CPN (Unified Socialist) Madhav Kumar Nepal has reiterated that the US government's Millennium Challenge Corporation (MCC) compact agreement cannot be ratified in its current form.
Claiming that there are some doubts regarding the MCC, the former prime minister said Nepal has adopted a non-aligned foreign policy and the country should not be a battleground under any pretexts.
