June 18. At the time of public rumor about the PM resignation
, Senior
CPN-UML leaders have advised Prime Minister Madhav Kumar Nepal not to step down
despite growing pressure on him to do so.
During an informal gathering held at PM Nepal's official residence in Baluwatar
Friday morning, the UML leaders are learnt to have asked PM Nepal, who is also
a top UML leader, not to tender his resignation as the possibility of formation
of a consensus government is gradually becoming dim. They were of the view that
the current government has a clear majority and it should stay put.
The UML leaders gave this suggestion to the embattled PM
Nepal at a time when it is being said that he has already made up his mind to
resign.
The suggestion also contrasts the remark made by UML general secretary Ishwor
Pokharel who had said on Thursday that the prime minister is willing to step
down in order to give a way out to the deepening political crisis in the
country.
UML Chairman Jhala Nath Khanal including senior leaders K.P Oli, Bharat Mohan
Adhikari and UML ministers in the government were present at the meeting.
Prime Minister Nepal has exepressed his eagerness to resign frequently.
