Prachanda says Nepali Congress reluctant to promote politics of consensus

Kathmandu, Dec 8 (ANI): Nepal Prime Minister Prachanda has accused the Nepali Congress (NC) of trying to flout the politics of consensus and cooperation.

Speaking at a programme here, Prachanda said he believes that the sole reason behind the Nepali Congress not participating in the government was its reluctance to promote politics of consensus.

He warned that the nation would have to bear serious consequences if the standoff between the main political parties on the issue of the constitution of the Army Integration Special Committee continues.

"If the integration of Maoist PLA combatants into the Nepal Army doesn't take place then the peace process won't reach to its logical conclusion," he added.

Prachanda said that the government is committed to drafting a constitution as per the wishes of its people.

He also informed that the Commission for Investigation of Abuse of Authority (CIAA), the High-Level Land Reform Commission and the Land Restructuring commission will be re-constituted in a week's time, Nepalnews reported. (ANI)
