The UCPN (Maoist)-led 30-party opposition alliance, which has been boycotting the Constituent Assembly (CA) meetings, has demanded a concrete proposal for consensus from the ruling side for holding talks.Talking to journalists at the parliamentary party office in Singha Durbar, on Thursday, UCPN (Maoist) Chief Whip Giri Raj Mani Pokhrel said consensus has become illusive as ruling parties continue to stick to their nine-point proposal.
The ruling NC and UML had forwarded a nine-point joint proposal to the Constitutional Political Dialogue and Consensus Committee (CPDCC) of the CA on November 3 as their first move toward bringing majority-based constitution. "We have seen a meeting point with the ruling parties if they rectify their joint proposal," said Pokhrel.
"We have not seen any possibility of consensus unless the ruling parties rectify their nine-point proposal," said Pokhrel.
However, the ruling parties have said that they are not ready to correct their joint proposal unless UCPN (Maoist) brings its own proposal for deliberation. "We are still ready for deliberations, if they come up their proposal, but they have not brought any proposal so far," said CPN-UML Vice Chairman Bhim Rawal.
