Maoist leader for solving problem through talks

BY A STAFF REPORTER

Lalitpur, Sept. 23: Seven Maoist affiliated organisations held a mass meeting at Mangal Bazaar, Lalitpur today. Addressing the mass meeting United People Front MP Lila Mani Pokharel said that the country is facing economic, political and cultural crises and the solution to these crises should be sought from the people. Saying the country’s Left parties are heading towards polarisation, Pokharel urged the Left parties to unite for common cause.

Agni Sapkota, politburo member of the CPN-Maoist, said that they are not against talks. "The Maoists also want the problem to be solved through talks," he said.

However, several other speakers, including Krishna Bahadur Mahara, coordinator of the Maoist team in the talks with the government, failed to turn up at the mass meeting.
