Addressing a press conference organized by Nepal Press Union in Dadeldhura, Deuba alleged that the Maoists were not interested in the management of Maoist combatants as they are adopting a strategy to seize state power by threatening and intimidating the people at gunpoint. [break]
He also alleged that the Maoists are bent on pushing the country into a fresh conflict. He said the new constitution cannot be promulgated unless the Maoist combatants are managed. "But the Maoists are neither prepared for the management of their combatants nor are they prepared for drafting new constitution," Deuba added.
Deuba said the Maoists are against the constitution and federalism as they unilaterally declared autonomous states disregarding the jurisdiction of the Constituent Assembly.
Stating that the country would plunge into a critical situation if the constitution is not drafted on time, Deuba said, “There is no possibility of promulgating the new constitution without first managing the Maoist combatants.”
