According to UCPN (Maoist) Chairman Pushpa Kamal Dahal's personal aide Chudamani Khadka, top leaders started discussion from the early morning on the ways to reach an agreement with MPRF-D. By the afternoon, leaders of major political parties agreed to write that the issues on provincial delineation from Tharuwan, Madhes and other parts of the country would be settled through a federal commission.Two days ago, the MPRF-D had refused to sign agreement stating the major parties denied mentioning the words 'Tharuwan and Madhes' in the agreement paper.
As Dahal took the initiative for the agreement, he discussed the issue with CPN-UML Chairman KP Oli and ministers Mahesh Acharya and Narahari Acharya from NC. Dahal, then, set a meeting with Gachchhadar and informed that the major three parties are ready to sign the agreement.
"Gachchhadar was ready to sign the agreement and he had informed leaders that he will join Constituent Assembly after discussing the agreement with other leaders of his party. However, he didn't come to CA to sign the agreement," said Khadka.
However, MPRF-D General Secretary Ram Janam Chaudhary said no verbal agreement was made. "As a democratic party we are always ready for talks but none from our party leaders had agreed to sign any document. The major three political parties came up with an agreement paper and it was full of vague language. We could not trust the draft so we refused to sign it," said Chaudhary.
"And I was surprised to see how they misled the media about what had happened," he added.
