Fussing About Forming An Almost Impossible Unity Government
By KTM Metro Reporter
December 12, 2012: today the deadline set by the president for forming a unity government has ended without forming it. Everybody with a little bit of logic could easily say that given the current uncompromising mood of both the ruling coalition and the opposition coalition, setting up a unity government is next to impossible. However, politicians are running after it and the president has been extending the deadline. Even foreign diplomats have been concerned with it.
Today morning, once again Chairman of UCPN-Maoist Prachanda reached the President’s Office at the Sheetal Niwas, and requested the head of the state to extend the deadline for the formation of a national unity government, according to THT ONLINE news. “I familiarized the President about the ongoing formal and informal meetings on various issues including formation of a national consensus government, among others, and the President is positive to extend the deadline,” THT ONLINE news quotes Prachanda as saying after the meeting with the president.
US Ambassador to Nepal Peter W. Bodde called on Chairman of the CPN-UML Jhalanath Khanal at the Dallu residence of Khanal in Kathmandu today, and has shown his concern over the current political situation in Nepal, RSS quotes Chairman Khanal's personal aide Milan Tuladhar, as saying. Chairman Khanal in turn told the envoy that his party was for holding elections in May next year; the political parties would be able to forge a political consensus to break the current impasse; there was no alternative to moving ahead by forging a consensus among the parties, writes thehimalayantines.com.
