Home Minister and coordinator of the government’s talks team Krishna Prasad Sitaula has said that the interim government will only be formed after arms management of both sides.
Speaking at a function in Pokhara Tuesday, Sitaula said that the arms management and formation of an interim government should be simultaneously accomplished.
The chief government negotiator further said that the Maoists have also agreed on managing the arms before forming the interim government.
Sitaula further said though an agreement had been reached with the Maoists to send a letter to the United Nations regarding arms management, it was being delayed due to technical reasons.
Regarding Sunday's informal meeting of the NC central committee condemning Girija Prasad Koirala for not taking the party into confidence before signing an eight-point agreement with the Maoists, Sitaula urged everyone to be flexible and respect others’ views.
Claiming that government is sincere towards 25-point code of conduct, Sitaula urged the Maoists to do the same.
However, Sitaula expressed strong reservation over the Maoist move in district development committee of Parbat and asked them not to repeat such acts.
“It was wrong on the part of the Maoists to announce chairman for Parbat DDC going against the code of conduct,” Sitaula said.
He urged the Maoist leadership to immediately instruct their cadres to stop such activities, adding, "Otherwise such behaviour would create hindrance to the peace process."
The Maoists have 'appointed' the vice-chairman of their people's government as acting DDC president and seated him in the DDC office
