Prime Minister Madhav Kumar Nepal, who returned to the country after participating in the 16th SAARC Summit held in Bhutanese capital Thimpu on Friday, has hinted he won't resign at once, even as the main opposition Unified CPN (Maoist) continues to pile pressure on him to step down through its street protests.
Speaking during a press conference at Tribhuvan International Airport on his return from Thimpu, Nepal said he "does not think" his resignation would resolve the current problem. He, however, said he would not be an obstacle to finding a consensus and urged the Maoists to come to the negotiating table.
Nepal also warned of taking all measures against the Maoist protests if they turn violent. We have no choice than to face them and oppose their violent activities," he added.
PM Nepal, who had left for Thimpu leading the Nepali delegation on Tuesday, had addressed the SAARC Summit on Wednesday.
