Kathmandu: The CPN (Maoist Centre) has decided to make maximum efforts to resolve the ongoing parliamentary stalemate. Agni Sapkota, the party spokesperson, announced that a party official meeting held on Thursday morning decided to approach the issue constructively and creatively to break the deadlock.

The Maoist Centre, along with other opposition parties, has been obstructing parliament, demanding the resignation of Home Minister Ramesh Lekhak over his alleged involvement in the visit visa scam. This obstruction has prevented discussions on the budget from commencing.

According to spokesperson Sapkota, the Maoist Centre’s primary demand is a fair investigation into the visit visa scandal. He stated that the party’s next steps will depend on the environment the government creates for such a probe. Discussions will be held with both the government and other opposition parties.

“The main thing is an investigation; our focus isn’t so much on a particular individual,” Sapkota said. “Discussions are ongoing. Yesterday’s (parliamentary session) was adjourned with the aim of reaching a positive conclusion. Today, we primarily need to talk with the government and also with other opposition parties.”

Describing the visit visa issue as very serious and important, Sapkota stated that today’s discussion concluded that an environment for investigation should be created as far as possible, and there should also be an atmosphere for discussion in the parliament.
