NC withdraws its protest warnings

The main opposition Nepali Congress (NC) has withdrawn its warnings to stage strong protests against the Maoist-led government.

The NC made the decision following the statement by Prime Minister Pushpa Kamal Dahal at the Constituent Assembly (CA) earlier today where he promised to meet the nine point demands of NC.

Terming the fresh commitments made by PM as positive, NC vice president Ram Chandra Poudel said the NC will play the role of responsible opposition. Earlier the NC had threatened to obstruct parliamentary proceedings unless the government met its nine point demand.

PM Dahal had promised to fulfill the demand made by NC regarding returning the properties seized by Maoists during conflict.

PM Dahal promised that they will be returned within mid-December. He even said the government will make provision to provide compensation to those whose properties have not been returned yet. nepalnews.com sd Nov 11 08
