Talking about the summit level talks between the ruling seven party alliance and Maoists after they failed to find consensus in the issues of fate of monarchy and Maoist arms management, Minister Chaudhari said that the talks was postponed for some times to do more homework by both the sides.

He also said that the ruling seven party alliance and the Maoists handed over responsibility of finding consensus in the issue of arms management and fate of monarchy to Prime Minister Girija Prasad Koirala and Maoist chairman Prachanda.

Stating that the King will get the chance of becoming active if referendum was held to decide his fate, Minister Chaudhari said that the fate of monarchy should be decided through the election of the constituent assembly.
