KATHMANDU, July 3: A secretariat meeting of Unified CPN (Maoist) held on Friday came up with a conclusion that there is no room for further flexibility on the party´s side on resolving the ongoing political deadlock.
"We have already shown maximum flexibility. There is no more room for further flexibility," senior U-CPN (Maoist) leader Mohan Baidya told reporters while emerging from the meeting.
Baidya said Prime Minister Madhav Kumar Nepal must mention the president´s move in his address to parliament.
After the party´s secretariat meeting, the Maoist leaders held talks with leaders of 12 small parties represented in the Constituent Assembly.
The Maoist leaders tried to convince the leaders from small parties on their stance that the president´s move to reinstate the army chief, who was sacked by the erstwhile Prime Minister Pushpa Kamal Dahal, was an unconstitutional step.
"We talked with the leaders of small parties about our proposal to allow the government to present a vote of credit bill in the parliament but to block the president from presenting the government´s policies and programs in the House," Maoist leader Dr. Baburam Bhattarai told reporters after talks with small parties.
