CPN-UML to continue in govt.

Kathmandu, 26 Dec: CPN-UML will continue inn the Maoist-led government despite differences with the CPN (Maoist).
UML General Secretary Jhalanath Khanal said this at the end of an extended central committee meeting Friday.
Khanal said the government was a compulsion even as main opposition Nepali Congress continues a jihad against the tenuous government.
Nepali Congress again boycotted the CA session Friday amid fears a constitution won’t be drafted within May 2100.
Present rulers and Congress staged a constitutional coup after April 2005 even as they forced then King Gyanendra to reinstate a dissolved parliament through an illegal and unconstitutional ‘political decision’.
