Maoist to show flexibility for SPA unity

Kantipur Report

KATHMANDU, June 24 - The CPN-Maoist has decided to exercise flexibility within the Seven Party Alliance (SPA) to maintain unity. 

A meeting of the Maoist Secretariat held on Tuesday decided to move ahead maintaining SPA unity for ending the political deadlock.

The Maoist also decided to present itself flexible at the ruling SPA meeting scheduled today.

The Maoist’s decision comes in the wake of longstanding differences among the political parties on the issues of power sharing and formation of the Security Council.

According to Maoist leader Mohan Vaidya, the party will exercise flexibility as per the assertions that will be shown by other parties at the meeting.

Emerging from the Maoist Secretariat meeting, leader Dr Baburam Bhattarai warned that they will go to the public if government does not forward the statute amendment’s proposal in the next meeting of the Constituent Assembly (CA), which has been scheduled for tomorrow.

The amendment to the interim constitution now lies in disarray after the Nepali Congress (NC) proposed to poise as opposition.

Meanwhile, NC leader and Home Minister Krishna Prasad Sitoula met Maoist chairman Puspa Kamal Dahal at the latter’s residence in Nayabazaar to discuss on power sharing and representation in the Security Council as being the opposition party.

The SPA meeting is scheduled to take place at CPN-UML parliamentary party office in Singhdurbar today.
