"If the Maoists express fresh commitment to conclude the issues related to the peace process and finalise a timeframe to implement them, then only national consensus can be forged," he said at a function in Butwal. Pokharel said that the Maoists should return the seized properties, dissolve the paramilitary structure of YCL, fix the number of its army personnel to be integrated into national army and transform itself into a civilian party. Stating that resignation of Prime Minister Madhav Kumar Nepal is not the solution to the present political deadlock, he said that his party has not made any decision on the resignation’s issue as the parties may engage in the game of forming a majority government once he resigns. "The government will make efforts till the end to endorse its policy and programme as well as budget," he said, adding, “This is the regular work of the government.” -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Green Youth Movement" group.
