Prime Minister Pushpa Kamal Dahal has appealed to the Samyukta Loktantrik Madhesi Morcha to find consensus on addressing their issues through talks.

During a central office meeting of the CPN (Maoist Centre) held in Baluwatar on Friday, PM Dahal urged the alliance of Madhes-based parties to come to the negotiating table and iron out their differences. He also urged the Morcha to take part in the local elections scheduled for May 14.

Maoist leaders advised the PM to continue talks with the leaders of the Madhes-based parties and create an environment for them to participate in the elections. The meeting decided to launch a door-to-door poll campaign and to finalise candidates for the vote by April 22. (PR)
