wHAT ARE THEY LOOKING FOr?

KATHMANDU, May 22 -
Maoist Chairman Prachanda has said that his party isn't seeking to lead an interim government to be formed prior to holding constituent assembly elections.

He further added they would discuss their role in such a government to give progressive way out to the country while holding dialogue with the government.
The remarks have come a day after Matrika Yadav, a central committee member of the Maoist organization, said at a program in Biratnagar that rebels should lead such a government.
Prachanda said that whatever Yadav had said was a theoretical point based on "international practices
The chief of the rebel outfit said also said that his party would join the interim government only after holding a political conference following dissolution of the present government.
Expressing dissatisfaction and skepticism over "unnecessary delay on the part of the government in initiating peace talks", Prachanda said, "This might be a ploy of the seven-party alliance to give credit of the triumph of the people's movement to themselves." Regarding the recent historic proclamation of parliament, Prachanda made it clear that his party favored the proclamation hoping that it would contribute to democratic movement in the country.
