Dahal urges Koirala to resume House


UCPN (Maoist) Chairman Pushpa Kamal Dahal on Wednesday urged Nepali Congress (NC) President Sushil Koirala to remove the obstruction in the House. 
In a meeting held at Maharajgunj-based residence of Koirala, the Maoist chairman urged him to resume the Legislature-Parliament saying that the House obstruction has overshadowed the twin tasks of peace and constitution drafting.
The major opposition parties—Nepali Congress and CPN-UML—have been protesting in the parliament demanding the government withdraw its decision to legalise the transaction of land and properties made through the parallel government run by the then rebel Maoists during armed conflict. 
In response, Koirala reiterated that the decision should be scrapped. He alleged that the government has ruined the agreement with its decision to legalise the transaction of land and property at a time when the Maoists have yet to return the land and properties seized during the conflict as per the seven-point agreement 
After the meting, Dahal informed that they agreed to seek a package solution to all the contentious issues.
Following widespread protests after the government decision to legalise war-ear dealings, Prime Minister Baburam Bhattarai, in a bid to take the agitating opposition into confidence, said the decision would not be implemented immediately. 
However, the opposition continued their protests demanding the government scrap the decision. They argued that the postponement of the decision would further create confusion.
