Kathmandu, Feb. 3:The leaders of the main political parties at a face to face programme organised here today  said that as the people’s war launched in the name of Maoism since the last four years is concerned with politics together with the economic, social poverty and lack of development programmes, the government should make its position clear to the public.

They said the problem will surely be lessened if a package programme together with the socio-economic development is brought forward for the resolution of the problem created by the so-called  Maoists.

Speaking at the programme organised by the Reporters’ Club Nepal, member of the standing committee of the cpn-uml Bharat Mohan Adhikari stressed the need for the persons involved in violence and murder  to come under competition by exercising the rights given by the  present constitution as the problem is far from solved  but  has weakened our nationalism and democracy through extremist and terrorist activities in the name of Maoism.

General secretary of  the Rastriya Prajatantra Party Pashupati Shumsher J.B. Rana said  other parties have not been informed about the future strategy and the views and efforts being made by the government and stressed the need to  provide a sense of impartiality for reaching a  national consensus.

Central member of the cpn-ml c.p. Mainali said the violent activities  carried out in the name of Maoism  are  extreme leftist activity and that  it will  not solve the problems of the national existence and the people.

Independent intellectual Padma Ratna Tuladhar said as some of the demands put forward by the Maoists are against the constitution, the talks can’t provide concrete solution but will help in lessening the violence  which   proves the necessity of talks.

The programme was presided over by president of Reporters Club Nepal Rhishi Dhamala.
