KATHMANDU, SEP 10 - The UCPN (Maoist) on Friday reiterated its stand that it won't allow the caretaker government to table any new bill in the Legislature-Parliament.

Maoist Vice-Chairman Narayan Kaji Shrestha said the current government, which is a caretaker one, doesn’t have the legality to introduce any bill.

“We (Maoists) won’t allow the care taker government to introduce any new bills,” said Shrestha after the Maoist office bearers’ meeting.

The Legislature-Parliament has failed to take place owing to the dispute over tabling the bill.

In response to the media persons’ queries, the Maoist vice-chairman refuted the allegations that his party is responsible for obstructing the House session regularly.

At the meeting, some of the party bearers opined that Party Chairman Pushpa Kamal Dahal should withdraw his candidacy for the post of prime minister and start a new course.
