Bad governance blamed for Maoist problem

Ramechhap, May 5 (RSS): Leader of the CPN-UML at the National Assembly and member of the CPN-UML standing committee Yuvaraj Gyawali has said that the Maoists should stop destructive activities and surrender their weapons and come for talks.

It is not good to impose the state of emergency in a democratic country, Gyawali said, adding that the CPN-UML was not in favour of extending the state of emergency for a long period.

As the Maoist problem is a result of bad governance, corruption, politicisation of the administration and exploitation of the people, Gyawali said, adding that the problem should be resolved politically.

Stressing the need to speed up the constitution amendment process and fix a common programme, the leader of the CPN-UML urged the government to resolve the Maoist problem on the basis of a broad consensus.
