Nnnn STALEMATE WON’T END SOON SAYS CP MAINALI KATHMANDU: Vice-Chairman of the CPN-Maoist, CP Gajurel, has claimed that the ongoing stalemate in the country would not end immediately. Gajurel said there was no immediate possibility of ending ongoing stalemate though it should be ended on the basis of political consensus. Talking to media persons, Gajurel, who is in Chitwan to pay tribute to Karna Bahadur Thapa, father of General Secretary of the party, Ram Bahadur Thapa, made this remark. He said there was nothing to expect from the major political parties if we see their previous activities in the context that the major political parties have said that they will forge consensus within mid-October. Stating that Prime Minister Dr. Baburam Bhattarai should tender his resignation immediately to forge national consensus, Gajurel said the discussion among political parties will not go smoothly until the Prime Minister resigns from the post. He said there is a compulsion of exit of the Prime Minister from the government and added that consensus would not be forged unless Dr. Bhattarai resigns from the post. Claiming that leaders including Prachanda and Baburam have been proved failure in history, Gajurel said responsibility for leadership of the country should not be given to them.
