NC PP meeting to forge party's next course

The opposition Nepali Congress (NC) party is preparing to forge its strategies, Monday, regarding the ongoing dispute over the special committee on army integration.

"We are holding the meeting of our parliamentary party on Monday morning, which will decide the course the party will take," said vice president of NC, Ram Chandra Poudel.

He said so after he submitted a nine point memo to Prime Minister Pushpa Kamal Dahal.

The memo included demands that the government implement the past agreements including immediate return of properties seized by the Maoists during the decade-long insurgency.

Other demands in the memorandum include scrapping of the paramilitary structure of the Maoist youth wing, Young Communist League (YCL) and reconstitution of the army integration special committee on the basis of political consensus.

Earlier, addressing the Constituent Assembly, Poudel had come down heavily against the government and warned of strong opposition. nepalnews.com Nov 09 08
