Former mediator in the government-Maoists talks and member of constitution draft committee Damannath Dhungana said on Thursday in Pokhara that the change in leadership of the government would not give solution to the present crisis, reports said.
Newspapers reports quoted him as saying that the only alternative to the present political imbroglio is through the election of the Constituent Assembly.
He urged the agitating political parties not to sit for talks with the king only for change in government leadership. He warned that the political parties would be isolated from the people if they were trapped by such ploy. He asked the political parties to intensify their protests for democracy.
Former speaker of the House of Representatives Dhungana said that the people’s movement is only way to put pressure on king to reverse his February 1 move.
Dhungana welcomed the talk between the parties and the rebels in New Delhi and claimed that the dialogue would help to form a broader political front for people’s movement for the restoration peace and democracy in the country.
