Democratic Nepal party, led by minister in the royal cabinet Keshar Bahadur Bista, has asked the government to call upon the constitutional, political forces in the country for dialogue in a strong, credible and forceful way.

A statement issued by co-chairman of the newly launched party, Janardan Acharya, on Monday said the country is longing for peace and murder, violence, destruction and suppression can’t be a way out to the present stalemate. He also urged the political parties to look at the gravity of the situation and take initiative for bringing the Maoist rebels into the political mainstream. “Let all sides set aside their stubbornness,” Acharya said in his statement.

Democratic Nepal party has also called upon all the political forces in the country to stand at the same place in order to resolve the on-going conflict and restore peace in the country.

Bista’s party is the first pro-government political outfit to call for dialogue after the seven party opposition alliance launched their latest round of protests calling upon His Majesty King Gyanendra to give up his 14-month-old direct rule. nepalnews.com by Apr 10 06
