Maoist formula to break deadlock Friday (DEVELOPING STORY)

Kathmandu, 28 May: Maoist standing committee began a lat-minute crucial meeting Friday morning although overnight it decided the resignation of the prime minister and assurance to form a national government were the only outlets to end the crisis.
“The constituent assembly (CA), which is a gain of the last 60 years should be saved. Commitment is more bigger that conditions for that.
“The prime minister’s resignation should go ahead simultaneously with the tenure extension and an understanding. This the appropriate meeting point for and understanding,” Maoist Vice-chairman Dr Baburam Bhattarai told Nagarik.
According to the modality of an understanding, the prime minister will first address parliament for national understanding for tenure extension. Maoists will then vote for the extension accepting the PM’s address.
The premier then tender his resignation to the president for formation of a national unity government.
“Nobody will win or lose in such a modality,” a senior Maoist source said.
