The leaders, who have been in discussions since Monday, said they would reach a conclusion by Thursday. Subaschandra Nemwang, the coordinator of the dialogue team formed by the establishment party, told Makalukhbar, “Today’s discussion was consensus-oriented.” We will come to a conclusion by tomorrow. There is hope for unity. ‘
According to Nemwang, discussions may also take place between party chairman KP Sharma Oli, who is also the prime minister, and senior leader Madhav Kumar Nepal. Nemwang said that the internal disputes of the party would be resolved after that. “If there is a dialogue between the two leaders, it is hoped that the issue will be resolved soon. We are even making that effort. Maybe there will be a conversation between them, ‘said Nemwang.
A meeting of the task force was also held at Singha Durbar on Wednesday. The leaders of the task force said that there was a wide-ranging discussion on how the UML could unite. After this, another meeting will be held on Thursday at 11 am.
The 10-member task force formed earlier has been revived. Along with Nemwang, Bishnu Prasad Poudel, Pradeep Kumar Gyawali, Shankar Pokhrel, and Bishnu Rimal are in the task force while Bhim Rawal, Ghanshyam Bhusal, Gokarna Bista, Surendra Pandey and Raghuji Panta are from the other side.
Opposition UML has formed a front against the government after the last dissolution of the parliament. Along with the Congress, UCPN (M), People’s Socialist Party, Nepal, and Rastriya Janamorcha, the establishment party is urging the opposition UML to withdraw from the alliance.
Leader Nepal, on the other hand, has said that they will not betray the alliance. Opposition UML leaders have signed 23 out of 146 signatures submitted to the Supreme Court earlier. The establishment UML has laid down the condition of returning the signature.
