Kathmandu, June 5: The CPN (UML) standing committee meeting today reiterated that the party was determined in its value that the major political forces should move ahead together on the basis of consensus.
The main ruling party has once again called on all the political parties to come to consensus for achieving political stability and protection of national interest and integrity while stressing on national consensus. It also stated that relentless efforts have been made towards national consensus for implementation of the constitution, post-earthquake reconstruction, safeguard of the national interest and achieving the national goal of economic prosperity.
However, the UML’s formal decision does not mention about the ‘gentleman agreement’ regarding handing over the government leadership to the CPN Maoist Centre after the budget. Some leaders within the UML had been saying that the party leadership should follow the so-called gentleman agreement if it had been reached. But Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli has denied signing any such agreement and that the present government would not immediately topple.
A press release issued after the meeting by the party secretary Yogesh Bhattarai states that the meeting also concluded the government’s annual policy and programme, and the budget were very positive, progressive and people-oriented.
The meeting convened at the Prime Minister’s official residence at Baluwatar and was chaired by the Prime Minister. It also drew the conclusion that the implementation of the constitution would contribute towards laying the foundation stone for the creation of a fair and equitable society as is conceived of in the constitution.
The UML has also taken a decision to conduct a nationwide programme for creating an environment conducive for the budget implementation by holding extensive discussions and debates among the people about the government’s policy and programmes, and the budget. RSS
