General Secretary Pokhrel expressed discontent over the UCPN-Maoist Chairman Pushpa Kamal Dahal's way of presenting himself as an important person to take decision to handover its combatants to the government although it was the decision of the Army Integration Special Committee.

Addressing a programme organized by constituency no 5 of the party in Kathmandu, he urged all not to forget the role of the CPN-UML in the peace process and constitution writing.

While forming peace and reconciliation commission, it must be taken into account that the victims need to be catered justice while the torturers meted out punishment, he argued.

Similarly, leader Pokhrel said the form of governance should deter the chance of autocracy and instability.
