The meeting of the three major political parties – UCPN-Maoist, CPN-UML and NC—held at Hotel Radisson Sunday evening has ended inconclusively at around 9 pm.
Today’s meet, attended by the top brass leaders of the three parties, lasted around one hour and has agreed to sit for another round of talks Monday evening.
Emerging from the meeting, UML chairman Jhalanath Khanal said today’s meeting mainly concentrated on the briefings of the taskforce meet that convened till late Saturday evening.
UML chairman said the three-party meet also spent time on analysing the 6-points agenda, driving the prospect of consensus in a ‘positive’ direction.
He further said today’s meeting decided to hold separate talks between each two parties Monday to be followed by a tripartite dialogue in the same evening.
Speaking to the media, NC’s acting president Sushil Koirala insisted there was no agreement made towards urging Prime Minister Madhav Kumar Nepal to step down from the post.
UCPN Maoist chairman Pushpa Kamal Dahal said there is still much left to be desired in the talks for forging a consensus, saying that might necessitate the agitating Maoists to intensify their stir in the days to come.
