The International Community Concerned About Political Deadlock In Nepal
By KTM Metro Reporter
December 15, 2012: UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon has been concerned with the protracted political gridlock in Nepal and urged the political parties to work for creating an environment conducive to hold fresh elections to a new CA settling differences and forming a broad-based government without further delay, according to THT ONLINE news, and Nepalnews.com.
"The Secretary-General is deeply concerned about the continuing political deadlock in Nepal. He urges the country’s political parties to set aside differences in the interest of the nation and form a broad-based government without further delay," a press statement issued by Ban's spokesperson said, writes THT ONLINE.
"The Secretary-General urges all actors in Nepal to reaffirm their commitment to the Comprehensive Peace Agreements and to safeguard the achievements of the past several years in line with the aspirations of the Nepali people," the statement read, according to the news posted on the nepalnews.com
Ban also encouraged the main stakeholders to create an environment conducive to holding the next elections.
Nepalese political leaders have been after the power rather than settling their differences and holding elections to a new CA for crating a new constitution and institutionalizing the federalism and federal states as aspired by the Nepalis during the people’s movement of 2006.
President Dr RamBaran Yadav had already extended the deadline for forming a consensus government fourth times on December 13, 2012 but the political leaders have not been able to set up a consensus government.
NC and CPN-UML leaders have been pushing President Yadav very hard to seize the power and give it to them but yesterday President Yadav had said in public that he was not going to take over the power but he would remain within the Interim constitution of Nepal of 2007 and safeguard it.
Speaking at a seminar held by the Nepal-Bharat Sahayog Manch on ‘Nepal-Bharat Relations: Consolidation and Exploration of Prospects for Extended Cooperation’, former president of India’s principal opposition Bharatiya Janata Party Rajnath Singh yesterday said, “the protracted crisis in Nepal has worried us as much as its citizens; the political crisis in Nepal is deepening as the Constituent Assembly has failed to make a new constitution. In the light of given situation, New Delhi has to confess the fact that the Indian government failed to act on time.” Singh said he along with other opposition leaders had asked Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh several times to take an effective diplomatic initiation to help Nepal to resolve its impasse, according to the news posted on the thehimalayantimes.com.
