Four parties irked by Uprety's remarks
KATHMANDU, JUN 26 -
Four major parties of the High Level Political Committee have expressed dissatisfaction over Chief Election Commissioner Neel Kanth Uprety's recent remarks on election preparations.
The leaders of the major political parties have accused Uprety of giving political statement by defaming the parties.
A meeting of the committee on Wednesday decided to reach out to the disgruntled political parites to persuade them to participate in the Constituent Assembly (CA) polls.
The cross-party committee has also decided to convene a meeting with Uprety and to take up the issue.
“The EC should focus on its work so as to hold the Constituent Assembly polls on Nov 19. It is not supposed to give political statements,” said UCPN (Maoist) Vice Chairman Narayan Kaji Shrestha, emerging from the meeting.
“The EC should consult with the government or parties, if any problem regarding the elections arises, ” he added.
Likewise, the HLPC has charged the the top leaders of major three political parties--UCPN (M) Chairman Pushpa Kamal Dahal, Nepali Congress President Sushil Koirala and CPN-UML Chairman Jhala Nath Khanal--with the responsibility to hold talks with the poll-opposing parties including the CPN-Maoist.
