KATHMANDU, March 26: While snubbing the call of the Madhav Kumar Nepal-led faction in the party, the CPN-UML Chairman K P Oli has said that there is no possibility to withdraw any decisions taken on March 12 as demanded by the rival faction within the party.


Addressing the parliamentary party meeting held at the Prime Minister’s Official Residence in Baluwatar on Friday, Chairman Oli said that since the decisions to appoint 23 former Maoist Center leaders as Central Committee members and reshuffle the party responsibility of a few leaders was made in accordance with the party’s statute there was no chance of backtracking from those decisions. “Although a few colleagues did not attend the meeting, both the decisions were taken in accordance with the party statute,” UML Chief Whip Bishal Bhattarai quoted Oli as saying in the meeting.
