President of the Nepali Congress (Democratic) Sher Bahadur Deuba has blamed the Maoists of being the main cause of unstable and deteriorating security situation in the country that led to the deferral of the constituent assembly polls.
Speaking at an interaction programme organised by the Man Mohan Memorial Foundation to mark the 8th death anniversary of the former Prime Minister and UML leader Manmohan Adhikari in the capital Thursday, Deuba said Maoists and its sister organization Young Communist League (YCL) should immediately control their unruly behaviour if CA Polls should be held in a free and fearless environment.
Addressing the function, UML general secretary Madhav Kumar Nepal said that it was not the time constraint that led to the delay of CA polls but the delay in taking decision like inviting the UN, drafting interim constitution and formation of the interim legislature, and the government led to the deferral of CA polls.
Nepal said an eight-party meeting should be organised soon to decide the fate of monarchy. He also said his party was ready for announcement of republic from the parliament.
Speaker of the Legislative Parliament Subash Nemwang urged all parties to let the House proceedings go smoothly. He said frequent obstruction on the House sessions had come in the way of taking many important decisions that are necessary in creating environment for CA polls.
Stressing the need for unity among eight parties at this transitional period, Nemwang said mandate of the people's movement last year was for united eight parties until a new constitution is written and a new Nepal is created through constituent assembly.
He also said he was ready to announce Nepal a republic if eight parties agreed to do so even at this time.
