>>>>Party sources said the meeting held serious discussion over the Maoists? indifferent attitude towards talks. Today?s meeting also discussed the issue of appointing the new governor at Nepal Rastra Bank. <<<<<< Look at the agenda. If the UML were serious about asking the Maoists to come join the talks, it would NOT cram the meeting-time to also discuss "the issue of appointing the new governor at Nepal Rastra Bank." Which is more important? Future of the country or who to appoint at the Rastra Bank? Bottom line? All political parties in Nepal have to mouth their sutomary invitation to the Maoists to come join the talks as a form of ritual. oohi ashu
