Nepal Maoists leader Gajurel demands a round table conference

Telegraph Nepal

The Unified Maoists’ party secretary C.P. Gajurel at an interaction program in Kathmandu, June 6, 2012, insisted that a round table conference could be held to get rid of present ailments rather than holding a constituent assembly election.

The interaction program was organized by Unified Maoists’ party hardliner faction led by senior vice chairman Mohan Baidya Kiran.

Professor and veteran communist Manik Lal Shrestha, former foreign minister Ramesh Nath Pandey, former ambassador to China Rajeshwar Acharya and Tanka Karki and former election commissioner Surya Prasad Shrestha had also expressed their views at the program. Remarkably, majority of the invited speakers had been closely associated with Nepali Royalty save a few.

Gajurel had proposed holding the round table conference when a section of royalists have also been demanding ‘a national round table conference” under the guardianship of former King Gyanendra.

Sharad Chandra Dahal, Chairman of the National Unity party had just the other day had demanded that a round table conference under the guardianship of King Gyanendra be held in order to get the country out from the current political deadlock.

Gajurel nevertheless, demanded that the conference should have the representation of all the stakeholders of the society including representatives of political parties, workers, peasants, marginalized, dalits, indigenous, Muslims and Madhesi community in a proportionate manner.

The government should also be formed with equal representation, he demanded.

“The election declared by the unconstitutional government is not acceptable to the people”, Gajurel claimed and added, “Election is not in the overall benefit of country and its people.”

Dahal’s idea appears to have clicked.

  • Top leaders have failed miserably to find any solution to the imbroglio and same thing will happen if they alone are left to decide the fate of the nation.CA involvement was outrightly rejected by both NC and UML!Therefore more people should be involved in the form of "Round Table" conference knowing fully well that it will be a big 'fish market' ;however why not try it.

  • Indeed,the real fact behind not openly accepting the failure to institutionalize the republic through new constitution drafted by constituent assembly,is because of unclothed exposing the so called leaders.If speaking by putting hand in chest,the real purpose of 12 point Delhi deal and interim constitution formed on the very base of the same,have no more relevancy after unceremoniously dissolution of CA without fulfilling it's primary duty. That's why the constitutional and moral ground of seeking solution through the existing interim constitution has no more validity nor it could really be sought from the same since it is almost defunct.Therefore,the only best way to find solution is: broader round-table political conference consisting all stake-holders including the crown.Eralier the realization better the result.
