He said claim of the Madhes-based parties for leading the new government was a futile attempt as major political parties are there in the House.



In a separate context, he said it was obvious that other countries attempt to interfere in Nepal´s internal affairs due to our own dependency.



Saying consensus among the major parties was inevitable, Jha added the UCPN (Maoist), Nepali Congress and CPN (UML) should forge consensus for establishing peace.



Vice President Jha is scheduled to visit the religious and tourist site Maipokhari of Ilam district.
