Speaking at an interaction organized in the capital on Sunday, Nepali Congress leader Narayan Khadka said Nepali Congress was ready for roundtable conference. The dissenting political parties must be given chance to participate in the coming CA elections, he added.[break]
CP Mainali of the CPN-ML said the CPN-Maoist led by Mohan Baidya needs to be involved in the CA election even by deferring the November 19 elections.
The big parties´ plan to mobilize Nepal Army during election would not ensure free and fair ambience, he added.
Co-Chairman of the Rastriya Prajatantra Party Pashupati Shumser Rana said holding CA election for the second time meant the failure of the big four parties. CA election can´t be held by sidelining the CPN-Maoist, he added.
He suggested the big four parties to exercise maximum flexibility to ensure CPN-Maoist´s participation in the election.
Similarly, Co-Chairman of the Sadbhavana Party Laxman Lal Karna said all parties´ participation is essential to election but it was difficult to bring the wayward parties in the right track.
CPN-UML leader Pradip Gyawali said the four parties must bring the CPN-Maoist to CA election and the CPN-Maoist too needs to realize the need of elections.
