KAILALI (Attariya), April 3: Senior leader of CPN-UML, Madhav Kumar Nepal has said a government of national consensus was inevitable in order to conclude the peace and constitution making process.



Speaking at a press conference organized at Dhangadi on Sunday, he said the parties should concentrate on completing the constitution on time rather than mulling on extending the term of the constituent assembly. "It would be insignificant to extend the term of the CA if the constitution was not promulgated on time", he said.[break]



The former Prime Minister also said that the peace process cannot conclude as long as the UCPN (Maoist) continue to hold arms and army.



Responding to a query, Madhav Nepal said the recent incident of bombings has added challenges to the Government, and that the new Home Minister should be appointed soon to take up the issue of law and order seriously.



He also said that Maoist Chairman Dahal leaving the Sub-Committee under the Constitutional Committee showed that the Maoists were not serious in the constitution making process.
