HETAUDA, Jan 5: Minister for Information and Communications Shankar Pokharel said that the present political crisis will come to an end if all political parties move ahead in unison.



Collaboration among parties will also give a positive message to the international community, he said inaugurating a transmission center of Nepal Television in Hetauda Wednesday.[break]



The other parties shouldn´t help the Unified CPN (Maoist) unless the party doesn´t quit rebellion mentality and its "strategy to capture power", he said.



The country is passing through hard times because political parties have "forgotten" the 12-point agreement, Comprehensive Peace Agreement and their own declarations, he said.



In another context, he said the government has been putting the development of television in priority and expressed hope that NTV will provide more information and entertainment.



While maintaining that the government is working to make telephone reachable among 55 out of 100, he said that such a programme is sailing through to attain the goal within the next three years.



At the programme held under the chair of NTV Chairman Kundan Aryal, CDO of Makwanpur Dinesh Bhattarai, RSS´s correspondent Navaraj Bista, central member of Federation of Nepali Journalists Prateep Bista, Chairman of NTV Employee Union Gopal Dahal and NTV board member Madhav Pradhan.
