KATHMANDU, AUG 15 - Prime Minister Jhala Nath Khanal on Monday said that there was no alternative to national unity government. PM Khanal, who had stepped down yesterday, addressed the Legislature-Parliament session today in Naya Baneshwor, Kathmandu.
He added that his resignation has further intensified the need for the formation of a national consensus government.
His resignation came at a time when his government has been under heavy criticism for being unable to complete the peace and statute drafting processes.
During his address, the caretaker prime minister said that the UCPN (Maoist) and the Nepali Congress (NC) were more responsible for his inability to complete the twin tasks.
The outgoing premier also highlighted the tasks initiated by his government and the progress made so far in the national issues.
Khanal said that he tendered his resignation for the sake of peace, statute and as per the five-point deal.
However, Khanal added that he was satisfied from the progress made so far in peace process and statute drafting, among other national issues during his tenure.
During his addressing, Khanal urged the NC and the Maoist not to go for other alternatives other than the formation of a national consensus government.
The prime minister had handed over his resignation letter to President Dr. Ram Baran Yadav on Sunday.
Meanwhile, the House has been adjourned till 3 pm on Aug 22.
