Prime Minister Madhav Kumar Nepal called on President Dr Ram Baran Yadav Friday afternoon and apprised the latter of the Maoist demands about the ongoing obstruction in the legislature parliament.

The Unified CPN (Maoist) is obstructing the proceedings of the legislature parliament protesting against the President’s move to block the erstwhile Maoist-led government’s decision to sack the army chief.

On Friday, the UCPN (Maoist) secretariat decided not to allow the President to present the policies and programmes of the government, but to allow the House only for the presentation of the Credit Bill.

PM Nepal informed the President of latest decisions of the Maoists and his efforts to create a consensus to end the ongoing stalemate.

The President suggested PM Nepal to take necessary actions to create a consensus, but only within the jurisdiction of the interim constitution. nepalnews.com Jul 03 09
