UML leader and former PM Madhav Kumar Nepal has said that the major three parties should initiate the formation of a consensus government with the participation of the fringe parties.

A day after the president’s call to form a consensus government, Nepal, while speaking at a programme in the Capital, said that the big three parties—Nepali Congress, CPN-UML and UCPN (Maoist) should continue their collaboration for the implementation of the newly-promulgated constitution.

Nepal said that Madhesi parties should also participate in the new government. He hoped that the Madhesi parties would soon come to consensus.
