The party publicised the proposal titled 'basis of consensus for ending the political deadlock' by organising a press conference after the meeting of the three parties, in which it was to be presented, could not take place. A meeting of the party office-bearers held at party headquarters Parisdanda, Koteshwor, this morning gave a final touch to the document prepared by party chairman Pushpa Kamal Dahal yesterday, which calls for a Maoist-led consensus government. In the action plan for integration and rehabilitation, the party has proposed to bring the combatants under the Special Committee immediately, and complete their categorisation (for integration and rehabilitation) within two months and that the number of those to be integrated would be fixed on the basis of the individual choice of the combatants. Stating that the integration should take place as per international standards, the draft said whether to integrate the combatants in state's security agencies or to form a separate force could be decided through negotiation later on. The party has also proposed to extend the tenure of the United Nations Mission in Nepal (UNMIN) saying that the mission's role would be relevant as long as the peace process continues. As per the Maoist proposal, the new constitution should be prepared by the end of Chaitra and that integration and constitution-writing will go simultaneously. Likewise, the party also pledged to dismantle the paramilitary structure of the YCL. The Maoist party prepared the 'consensus document' after other parties said they would not accept a Maoist-led government unless it came up with a clear and time-bound strategy for army integration, rehabilitation, dismantling of YCL's paramilitary structure and return of seized property.

The meeting was put off after UML chairman Jhala Nath Khanal failed to show up as he had to attend the condolence ceremony on the murder of UML district leader of Okhaldhunga, Chhabilal Karki. He was slain by an unidentified gang Thursday night. Maoist and NC leaders had arrived in Singha Durbar for the meeting. NC vice president Ram Chandra Poudel told reporters that the meeting could not take place because of the tussle between the UCPN (M) and the UML. The three-party meeting has been rescheduled for 8 am Sunday. The UCPN (Maoist) was to present an action plan on the integration of its combatants and constitution-drafting at the three-party meeting in an attempt to win support from the NC and the UML for formation of a Maoist-led consensus government. Earlier today, a meeting of the Maoist office-bearers finalised the action plan which also aims to address the concerns of the NC and the UML regarding the dismantling of the Maoist youth wing, Young Communist League (YCL) and return of properties seized by the party during the insurgency. The Maoist party came up with the action plan after the two ruling parties said they were not ready to accept the Maoist leadership in the next government unless it implemented its commitments related to the peace process.

An informal meeting of NC senior leaders held at the residence of acting president Sushil Koirala at Maharajgunj this evening reached the decision that the Maoists' proposal on PLA integration is against the comprehensive peace accord and past agreements. Speaking with reporters after the meeting, NC vice president and parliamentary party leader Ram Chandra Poudel claimed that the Maoist proposal is contrary to the first point of the three-point pact. “The Maoist proposal does not implement the first point of May 28 deal,” he said. Earlier, the Maoist had made public an action- plan regarding the integration and rehabilitation of PLA.
