PM has no place in HLMP: Prachanda


Chairman of UCPN-Maoist Pushpa Kamal Dahal 'Prachanda' today said the Prime Minister had no business in the newly-formed High Level Political Mechanism (HLPM).

Talking to mediapersons in Kailali's Dhangadhi, prior to his flight to Kathmandu, Prachanda said it was not necessary to include the PM in the mechanism and added it was wrong to demand his inclusion.

Claiming that the present political impasse was created by the government, the Maoist supremo said, "Why include the person who is the cause of the obstruction?'' He added that there was no use of two leaders from the same party in the mechanism since CPN-UML chairman Jhalanath Khanal was already there. ''The government has been terrorised after the formation of the mechanism,'' Prachanda said. ''The mechanism is not to topple the government but to take the peace process to a logical conclusion, to draft the statue within the time stipulated time and to forge a consensus among the political parties,'' he clarified.

The Maoist chairman said their agitation would remain until the guarantee of national independence. He stated that some forces had been spreading rumour that the issue was a political tool for the Maoists, refuting the allegation. He claimed that the Nepali territory had been encroached by India in Brahmadev of Kanchanpur.
