The central committee meeting of the Rastriya Prajatantra party led by Home Minister Kamal Thapa has urged all political forces of the country to come together to bail the country out of the present crisis.

A press statement issued after the meeting said that political parties should take the call of His Majesty the King on the occasion of Democracy day as an opportunity to create conducive environment for dialogue and consensus to resolve the problems the country is facing.

The statement further said, “RPP believes that it is not in the interest of democracy and the country to forge an alliance with the armed Maoists who are fighting to wipe out democracy and constitutional monarchy in the country.”

The party also appealed to the political parties to call off all programmes of general strikes, saying it will adversely affect the life of general people and ultimately affect the economy of the country.

The meeting also urged for consensus among all democratic forces to bring the Maoists into the mainstream of politics and urged the government to create conducive environment for holding talks and find consensus among all constitutional forces of the country.

The meeting also appealed to the seven political parties to review their decision of working together with the Maoists at a time when they are continuing violent activities.

Talking to journalists after the meeting, party chairman Kamal Thapa said the seven-party alliance should withdraw their decision to work with the Maoists to give outlet to the present political crisis.
