HIGH LEVEL COMMITTEE MEETING POSTPONED

Kathmandu, Nov 7: The High-level Political Committee meeting today was postponed after the ruling parties failed to turn up for the meeting.

            The meeting was scheduled to discuss ways to forging a consensus on the disputed issues of the new constitution and completing the remaining task of the peace process.

            Nepali Congress and UML leaders informed about their inability to attend the meeting supposed to be held at the office of the state affairs committee, leading to the postponement, said Shiva Khakurel, the aide of HLPC Coordinator Pushpa Kamal Dahal.

            A meeting of the three major parties on Thursday evening had decided to summon the meeting of the Committee for today, after the meeting of the CA Constitutional-Political Dialogue and Consensus Committee was postponed indefinitely.

            The ruling parties have been blaming the UCPN (Maoist) of obstructing the CPDCC from meeting and thereby overshadowing the constitution making process.
