Kathmandu, Jan. 13 : CPN-UML has emphasised the need for a package solution to the problem of the so-called Maoists stating that it could not be resolved superficially and in a unilateral manner.

A press release issued by the party here today states that this emphasis was given during official talks between the high level commission constituted by hmg under the leadership of former prime minister Sher Bahadur Deuba and a delegation of the party yesterday.

The second Kathmandu District Level convention of the CPN-UML began Thursday amid a huge gathering of party workers and well wishers.

According to the party, the delegation presented the view that the alternative to the wrong policy and performances of the government can be sought constitutionally and peacefully. CPN-UML had completely disagreed with the views of the so-called Maoists.

The delegation was of the view that it was a political problem created as a result of the wrong policy and activities of the government and was based on extreme ideas and terrorist activities.

During the meeting, the delegation had sought clarification from the commission on how the problem arose and what was the view of the  government on this matter.

The delegation also demanded that the irregularities and vandalism under government’s protection should be checked, free and fair elections should be guaranteed, people’s confidence on multi-party system of governance and elections should be ensured, and action should be taken against the corrupt to prevent corruption.

It also demanded that the report of the joint parliamentary committee on revenue should at least be implemented, no one should be detained on the basis of his conscience, criminal activities like fabricated cases, killing and repression, and congressisation in educational, administrative and various other fields should be stopped.

The delegation also sought scrapping of the Self-Governance Act and regulation which ridicules the local bodies. Those in power should work honestly to resolve the problems of the people and the country to enhance the confidence of the people in the system, the press release states.
