NEPAL-July -17 - President Dr. Ram Baran Yadav on Friday cautioned the top leaders of major three parties that their credibility would be further eroded if they failed to implement the five-point agreement reached on May 29.
He urged Prime Minister Jhala Nath Khanal, UCPN (Maoist) Chairman Pushpa Kamal Dahal and Nepali Congress President Sushil Koirala to live up to their promises to complete the peace process and prepare the first draft of the new constitution within the extended deadline of the Constituent Assembly (CA). “The credibility of the political parties will come into question if you [political parties] fail to meet the deadline again,” President’s Press Advisor Rajendra Dahal quoted Dr. Yadav as telling the top leaders.
During the one-and-a-half-hour long discussion held at Sheetal Niwash on Friday evening, major party leaders presented their views on creating a basis for the conclusion of the peace process and constitution writing and reiterated their commitment to find a meeting point. Dr. Yadav also made a special request asking the top leaders to reach an agreement on introduction of full fledged budget for next fiscal year.
President Yadav stressed that timely budget is crucial to save the country from the economic disorder that was created because of the failure to introduce the budget in time in the past three years. None of the governments formed after the CA elections of April 2008 have been able to introduce a full budget in a regular time (before the end of the fiscal year). The fiscal year ends on July16.
