To press the Government and the Maoists to sit for the next round of peace talks, CPN-UML Thursday organised a peace rally in the capital.

“Form an all party government under the leadership of agitating parties” and “Government, Maoist don’t move away from talks” were some of the slogans chanted by the UML leaders and cadres.

UML leaders Bharat Mohan Adhikari, Bamdev Gautam and others participated in the rally. Addressing the gathering, they alleged the government of trying to lengthen its tenure in the name of peace talks.

On the other hand, UML leaders blamed Maoists of amassing weapons and strengthening its militia in the name of holding peace talks.
