Demand for action against Prime Minister Deuba and Maoist Chairman Dahal

UML MP Bhim Rawal has demanded an investigation into the letter written by Prime Minister Sher Bahadur Deuba and UCPN (Maoist) Chairman Pushpa Kamal Dahal to the Millennium Challenge Corporation.

In today’s meeting of the International Relations Committee, Rawal said that the letter of intent written by a high-ranking official of the country to weaken Nepal’s diplomacy was highly objectionable. “This is an example of how diplomacy is being undermined and how the country’s self-esteem is being undermined,” he said.

“Is this how diplomacy works?” Rawal asked a question. What kind of diplomats had given such suggestions to Deuba and Dahal? He said that no leader had the right to write a letter saying that the agreement under consideration in the House of Representatives would be signed like this and that.

‘Do they have the right to do such such things over an agreement registered in the House of Representatives? Not listening to the people of your country but writing such a letter to another? This should be investigated and action should be taken, said Rawal.

Under no circumstances will the MCC be passed in the status quo: Prachanda

In a political report presented at the closed session of the 8th National General Convention on Monday, Dahal said that the MCC will be passed only after revision and amendment.

At the inaugural session of the UCPN (Maoist) General Convention on Sunday, Prime Minister Sher Bahadur Deuba claimed that the MCC was in the national interest and urged the people to argue only after studying the MCC agreement.However, Dahal said that “MCC project will be taken forward only after the project is modified and revised.” Under no circumstances will it be passed in the status quo.
