“The Maoists have asked the prime minister not sign any controversial treaty that will have long term implications for Nepal,” said CPN-UML chief whip Bhim Acharya. He said the Maoists were particularly concerned about Pancheshwar multi-purpose project and requested the prime minister not to sign any deal on it.
In response, the prime minister assured the Maoists that he would only sign treaties that have already been agreed at the secretary level.
