Speaking at an interaction organized by Reporters´ Club Nepal, Sadbhawana Party Chairman Rajendra Mahato the Maoists must accept fundamental elements of a democratic constitution and form a new national consensus government before the CA term is extended. [break]
“The Maoists must take the peace process towards its conclusion before May 28. Only then can we can think of extending the CA term,” he said.
Sadbhawana Party is one of the constituent of UDMF, a loose alliance of various Madhes-based parties.
Mahato said there is no point in extending the CA term without forging national consensus. Stating that the extended one year term of the CA passed without any significant progress in the peace process, Mahato said, “The same thing is likely to repeat if CA term is extended without forging a national consensus. This is the common position of Sadbhawana party and United Democratic Madhes Front.”
He also warned that his party would resort to stringent protests if the CA term is extended for vested interests if the ruling parties.
Mahato said lawmakers from his party could tender mass resignation in protest if the ruling parties turn a deaf ear to their concerns.
“The need of the hour is not just the resignation of the prime minister but the formation of national consensus government. Only the formation of national consensus government can deliver peace and new statute,” he said.
