Maoists declaring autonomous states to end significance of Constituent Assembly: PM Nepal


Prime Minister Madhav Kumar Nepal has said that the plan of the UCPN (Maoist) party to declare autonomous federal states is against the Comprehensive Peace Agreement (CPA) and the Interim Constitution, accusing the former rebels of trying to end the significance of the Constituent Assembly (CA) with this move.

Speaking at a programme organized in the capital on the occasion of Jyapu Day Wednesday, PM Nepal dismissed Maoist claims that their plan to declare federal states is as per the tenet and spirit of the Interim Constitution.

He criticized the Maoists for their plan to declare federal states at a time when the political parties are holding discussion on state restructuring, adding that the Maoist move is objectionable.
