"The peace process will not move ahead just arguing what the Nepali Congress and the Maoists did. The peace process should begin from a new chapter," said Dahal at a book-launching function in the capital.
"The relationship among the political parties has soured; it has broken," he said, adding that the past agreements are no longer relevant.
The former rebel leader argued that that the constitution writing process has hit roadblocks and there is a growing risk of war ahead.
Dahal was of the opinion that the political parties should forge new agreements to bail the country out of the crisis and take the peace process to its logical end.
He argued that it is just a bluff to argue that the peace process can be taken to its logical end by alienating the Maoists from the whole political process.
The former prime minister also said the United Nations held a press meeting in New York expressing concern about the government´s plan to import weapons by violating the Comprehensive Peace Agreement signed between the government and then CPN-Maoist in November 2006.
He also alleged that NC President Girija has been speaking against the peace process. "We have been saying that political party leaders should sit for talks with him (Koirala) to know what he really meant. But our initiatives have gone with the wind," he said.
While accusing the "regressive forces" of trying to force the Maoists back to war, he said his party understands their real intentions and would not deviate from its commitment to the peace process
