Moriarty is also learnt to have discussed the just-concluded municipal elections, the 12-point understanding reached between the seven-party alliance and Maoists and the ongoing movement of the seven party alliance.
Reports quoted party sources as saying that Koirala explained to Moriarty that the 12-point understanding would be “action oriented” in the coming days. He also informed Moriarty that the “movement would be stronger in the future, as Prachanda has now become democratic”.
Moriarty is scheduled to address a talk program “Nepal’s Political Crisis: A Look Back, A Look Forward” on Wednesday.
