Kathmandu,

:
Nepal's
interim
parliament
began
to
debate
on
Thursday
a
motion
by
Maoists
to
immediately
abolish
the
monarchy,
as
the
government
vowed
to
defeat
the
move
in
a
row
that
has
shaken
the
country's
peace
process.
The
Maoists
have
called
for
the
declaration
of
a
republic
and
for
a
switch
to
full
proportional
representation
in
planned
elections
to
an
assembly
to
draw
up
a
new
constitution.
