Prime Minister Girija Prasad Koirala reiterated on Wednesday that parliament would not be dissolved and Maoists would not be included in the interim government until Maoists' arms are managed.
Calling parliament the "weapon" of the Seven Party Alliance (SPA) and the people, PM Koirala said that the SPA cannot "disarm" itself (dissolve parliament) until the Maoists are disarmed.
Talking to journalists at his residence, he said the management of weapons was the "root problem" and it should be addressed first. He also emphasized that Maoists would not be included in the interim government unless the rebel's arms were managed. "Once the arms are managed, the interim government will be formed and the political process can proceed."
Informing that a UN team would be arriving in the country within the next two weeks, PM Koirala said that the arms management process would begin after necessary dialogue with the UN team.
Expressing commitment to the peace process, PM Koirala said, "I will do my best to make sure that the Maoists don't head for the jungle again."
Koirala also informed that the government is constantly holding talks with Maoists and necessary homework was underway for holding summit talks with the rebels.
Koirala also spoke on the issue of party unification. He said the unification process has reached its final phase and indicated that the Nepali Congress and its breakaway faction, NC(D), would be united soon.
"While we are trying to bring an armed rebel group into the political mainstream there is no point that NC and NC(D) which share same ideology and goals should remain different parties," said PM Koirala.
PM Koirala had arrived in his hometown two days ago. He also gave directives to police chiefs and CDOs to create a sense of security among people and to re-establish police posts removed due to Maoist violence.
