But the Prime minister ruled out the possibility of any military coup or presidential rule in the country.[break]
“Landgren´s statement that there is a real danger of the presidential rule and military coup in Nepal is baseless,” said Nepal talking reporters at Pokhara Airport.
Nepal stated that Nepal Army (NA) is directly under the government´s control and that he does not suspect of any “undemocratic move” from it.
“But it is true that the Maoists are making preparations for a revolt. Going by the newspaper reports, it becomes clear that Maoists are sincerely trying to launch a revolt,” he said, adding that the party´s latest documents also prove that.
The prime minister warned that any such revolt by the Maoist party would lead to the loss of achievements of the mass movement and would also finish the existence of the party. “The Maoist move will lead the country to anarchy and dictatorship,” he said.
Nepal reiterated that there would be no Maoist-led government until the combatants and their weapons are separated from their party. He said his party has already reached a conclusion to this effect and his caretaker government would remain in power.
The prime minister stated UNMIN´s exit would not imperil the peace process as the task of monitoring the cantonments would be taken over by the Special Committee for integration and rehabilitation of the combatants.
Meanwhile, speaking at a function in Damauli, Tanahun, Nepal stressed the need for consensus over the formation of a new government. “If a consensus candidate is presented, I would congratulate and garland him,” he said.
