Ian Martin, Chief of the United Nations Mission in Nepal (UNMIN) has again expressed his doubts regarding the prospect of holding Constituent Assembly elections (CA Polls) on June 20 during a meeting with CPN-UML General Secretary Madhav Kumar Nepal Tuesday.
During a meeting with UML chieftain’s residence today, Martin inquired to Nepal how the elections could take place by the stipulated time when the arms storage process, formation of necessary laws related to the elections were still to be completed and at the present situation where a sense of security is yet to be infused in the nation.
Nepal, in reply, said that timely elections would take place since the interim government's primary duty was to hold the CA elections.
Nepal argued that the elections would have to take place on time "if just to prevent the nation from going through a difficult situation by the protraction of the present transition phase."
The duo held discussions on the peace process after the formation of the interim government and various other political issues, source said.
