AFP; Reuters. 4 October 2002. Nepal's King dismisses prime minister and cabinet; Nepal rebels see 'conspiracy' in plan to delay vote. KATHMANDU -- Nepal's King Gyanendra sacked caretaker prime minister Sher Bahadur Deuba and the cabinet on Friday, declaring he would temporarily take executive power of the country. Gyanendra, speaking on state-run television and radio, said Deuba was "unqualified" to preside over elections that were scheduled to start on November 13. Deuba met Gyanendra on Thursday to request that the elections be postponed for one year because of the "deteriorating law-and-order situation" in the country due to the Maoist rebellion. Earlier Friday, Nepal's Maoist rebels said a government plan to delay general elections by a year was a conspiracy to avoid holding peace talks and appealed to "democratic forces" to oppose the move. "It is another conspiracy against talks proposed by our party to find a positive political solution to the present problem," Maoist chief Prachanda said. "We appeal to all left, progressive, patriotic and democratic forces of the country to unite against this," the rebel chief said in a statement faxed to newspapers. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
