Nepal: no to dissolution

KATHMANDU: Nepali Communist Party Nepal-Unified Marxist Leninist general secretary Madhav Kumar Nepal said on Friday that the House of Representatives (HoR) would not be dissolved because of pressure and threats. ``The HoR will be dissolved only after a dependable representative body is established,'' Mr. Nepal said at a programme in Kathmandu. The party's opinion has come only a day after top leader of Nepali guerillas Prachanda demanded an immediate dissolution of the House. Agreeing to Mr. Prachanda's demand for an interim government, Mr. Nepal appealed to him ``not to be suspicious and create confusion among the people against the seven parties.'' — Xinhua
