During a high-level meeting of CPN-Maoist, its chief and ex-premier Pushpa Kamal Dahal ‘Prachanda’ briefed the participants on his talks with Nepali Congress (NC) President G P Koirala, according to senior Maoist leader C P Gajurel.
Maoists have been demanding restoration of “civilian supremacy” and a parliamentary discussion to rectify President Ram Baran Yadav’s “wrong” move to reinstate the then army chief Rukmangad Katwal following his sacking by the previous Prachanda administration.
Prachanda met Koirala, who is undergoing medical treatment in Singapore, recently and they agreed to resolve the political stalemate by finding a middle path on the President’s reinstatement of Katwal that had led to the collapse of the Maoist government in May.
As NC and CPN-UML, the main constituents of ruling 22- party alliance, “have softened their stand, we hope that there will be some sort of agreement among major parties regarding the key issues,” Gajurel said. “We are also looking at preparing a common resolution for discussion in Parliament.” However, Maoists warned that they would launch the third phase of their agitation if their demands are not addressed by the government within the November 20 deadline, set by the former rebels last week.

Dear editor, The Maoists are opening a 'Pandora's Box' (evil collections) in the name of so-called 'Civilian Supremacy'.Due to the Maoist leadership, the rule of law, Judiciary, Nepal army, and the prestige of Nepalese identities including Pashupatinath, religious culture and traditions are all in peril. Actually,the Maoists have no vision and honesty how to move the nation.Due to their visionless activities they are getting fizzle out. What is 'Civilian Supremacy?' To establish one-party Communist rule? The Delhi 12 point agreement 2005 has been the major cause of creating the crisis and disintegration. Now, Nepalese Maoists, RIM and COMPOSA have joined hands for one-party anarchist-Communist rule.That is not the joke for Nepal and India. The Nepalese and Indian leaders should understand the grand-design of the Nepalese & Indian Maoists. Thank you. Dirgha Raj Prasai Nepal
