Nepal political deadlock continues, top hats told to intervene

TGW

After the three major political parties of Nepal, United Marxist Leninists, Nepali Congress and Unified Maoists Party failed to find an outlet from the current political deadlock during the meeting held Saturday October 3, 2009, the political parties agreed to allow the top leadership to find consensus.

Reports say that the Unified Maoists Party’s unwavering stance to formally mention President Dr. Ram Baran Yadav’s “unconstitutional” move to reinstate the Maoists’ Government sacked erstwhile CoAS Katawal as the only reason for the current deadlock in the common resolution proposal which is yet to take a formal shape, the meeting held on Saturday had ended inconclusive.

Both the UML and the Nepali Congress, the parties leading the government had rejected the Maoists’ proposal out rightly.

The talk team, representing all three major parties finally failing to forge consensus agreed that the right to unlock the deadlock would now be provided to the party top hats.

On Saturday, October 3, 2009, the UML and the Nepali Congress had presented the two party common draft of the Resolution proposal.

The NC-UML proposal mentions that there should be the provision that the President should be the constitutional head of the state and the Prime Minister as executive head of the government.

And, the NC-UML common draft also outlines the right for the deployment of the Nepal Army to the cabinet.

The draft also agrees that the rights of the Prime Minister and the President should be clearly stipulated to avoid any confusion in the future.

The UML central Committee member Mr. Yub Raj Gyawali directly blamed the unfiled Maoists’ Party for unnecessarily creating the deadlock.

“The Maoists demand for mentioning President Dr. Ram Baran Yadav’s move to reinstate the Maoists’ Government sacked erstwhile CoAS Katawal as the sole reason for the ongoing political deadlock”, Mr. Gyawali said.

Similarly, Arjun Nar Singh K.C. the Nepali Congress leader said that the President was not at all responsible for the current deadlock thus it was not necessary to yield to the Maoists’ irrelevant demands.

“We are not in a position to forcefully blame the President in the CoAS saga that took place on May 3, 2009”, said K.C.
