KATHMANDU, NOV 01 -
In a bid to seal package deal in the peace process, constitution making and power sharing, the top leaders of the major three political parties are due to sit for ‘decisive talks’ on Tuesday afternoon.
The talks will be held at the prime minister’s official residence in Baluwatar at 4 this afternoon.
Even though top leaders of the three major parties are inching towards consensus on integration and rehabilitation of former Maoist combatants, the Maoists and non-Maoist parties are still divided on other components of the larger package deal.
A meeting among top guns of the UCPN (Maoist), Nepali Congress and CPN (UML) witnessed a heated debate on Monday after NC, the main opposition, expressed reservations on a call for a package deal in the peace process, constitution making and power sharing put forth by Maoist Chairman Pushpa Kamal Dahal. NC President Sushil Koirala ruled out accord on contentious issues of constitution making and power sharing until a tangible progress in the peace process is had.
The number of combatants to be integrated and the golden handshake scheme to be offered to combatants wishing to be rehabilitated are major contentious issues that are being discussed during the negotiations.
