KATHMANDU: Prime Minister Madhav Kumar Nepal on Tuesday urged the political parties for cooperation and consensus to take the nation ahead by learning lessons from the past. He stressed on the talks and discussion among the parties to end the differences and grievances with an open mind.
Delivering the new year message on the eve of the New Year 2067 B.S. at his official residence, Baluwatar, Kathmandu on Tuesday evening he said that the differences in the new federal structure of the country and the structure of the government among the political parties are the main cause behind the delay in drafting the new constitution on time. He said that the government is committed to the constitution drafting issue. He urged the all political parties to cooperate and play a positive role in order to ensure the timely new constitution.Amidst widespread criticism over the inability of the government to garner the consensus for taking the peace process to the logical conclusion, he defended his government's commitment to it. The PM also sought the people's help given that just one and half months are left for the constitution drafting deadline.
Stating that the Maoist army integration is the key to take the peace process to a logical conclusion, he expressed his belief that all would cooperate on the issue.
Delivering the address he greeted all the Nepalese residing at home and abroad "A Happy New Year" praying that it would bring new hope and prosperity in the lives of all the Nepalese people.
The PM's address comes on the heels of the government being forced to withdraw its decision on the MRP deal with India and the demand by the UML lawmakers for his resignation during the UML Parliamentary Part meet. But as expected the PM did not touch on the subjects.
