"Domestic and international reactionary forces are thinking that the new constitution would be drafted keeping the party having 40 percent votes in the parliament outside government. But the constitution would not be drafted at any cost that way," said Bhattarai while speaking at a press meet in Nepalgunj. [break]
He also claimed that the peace process would not reach its logical conclusion if the Maoist party stayed outside the government. The Maoist vice chairman claimed that the country would slide into anarchy if the largest political party was isolated in the constitution making process.“The constitution formulated by those defeated in the election and indulged in corruption would not be acceptable to people," he said.
The behavior exhibited by the ruling parties have slimmed the chances of constitution making.“They are instead arguing that the Maoists are hindering the constitution making process,” he argued. He warned that the Maoists would not keep silent under such circumstances.
Dr Bhattarai also argued that the ruling parties are hatching a conspiracy not to promulgate the new constitution on May 28 and impose a military rule instead. He also said the Maoists are for taking the constitution writing and integration and rehabilitation of the Maoist combatants side by side.
He also pointed out the need for giving military training to all Nepalis.
