“What is the reason why they do not make public the report of Rayamajhi Commission? Why they do not take action against those named guilty by the report? All this indicate that the power still lies in Army Headquarters and Narayanhity Palace,” Prachanda said.

Addressing a programme organised by the families of people disappeared by the state, on Thursday, Prachanda said, “Until the power remains in Army Headquarters and the Narayanhity Palace, it will only be an intellectual exercise to talk about holding Constituent Assembly elections, having republic or making the whereabouts of disappeared persons public.”

Stating that he still believes in consolidating the eighty party unity, Prachanda added, “But if the need arises, our party will not hesitate a moment to take a tough decision. Let there be no doubt about this.”

He said that currently his party was leading the agitation from the government, streets and the parliament.
