Kathmandu, February 22
Top leaders of CPN-UML and CPN-Maoist Centre have directed two task forces formed to draft a statute and a political report of the new party that they will form after merging the two to complete their assignments and submit the report within next 15 days.
Addressing a joint meeting of the two panels at the Prime Minister’s residence in Baluwatar today, Prime Minister and UML Chairman KP Sharma Oli and Maoist Centre Chairman Pushpa Kamal Dahal expressed their hopes that the panels would prepare the reports in consensus as both involve higher level leaders from both the parties.
After the panels will submit their reports, the top leaders will discuss the issues in detail. Therefore, it will take at least 20 more days to announce the unification.
Maoist Centre senior leader Narayan Kaji Shrestha says the unification will be announced after mid-March.
