The seven agitating political parties are holding separate internal meetings to make public the party’s view on the royal proclamation of His Majesty the King on Friday.

King Gyanendra in the royal proclamation on Friday said, he had returned the executive power to the people as per the Article 35 of the Constitution of the Kingdom of Nepal and asked the agitating seven-party alliance to recommend a name for the Prime Minister.

Nepali Congress (NC) is holding meeting at the residence of NC president Girija Prasad Koirala’s residence to discuss the royal proclamation. All central committee members that are available in capital are participating in the meeting.

Likewise, the CPN-UML and NC (Democratic) are also holding separate central committee meeting at their party headquarters to discuss the royal proclamation and future strategies of the parties.

According to party sources, Nepal Workers’ and Peasant’s party and People’s Front Nepal is also scheduled to meet today to discuss the royal proclamation and future strategies.

The Seven Party Alliance (SPA) will make public its view about the royal proclamation and SPA’s future strategy after the internal meetings of the party.

The meeting of Joint People’s Movement Coordination Committee held immediately after the royal proclamation decided to further intensify the ongoing general strike and demonstrations until further notice saying King Gyanendra’s address could not address their roadmap to peace, democracy and the demands of the people on the streets. nepalnews.com pb Apr 22 06
