The central working committee (CWC) of the Nepali Congress Thursday decided to take initiative for the implementation of the recent five-point agreement, but hinted that it would not press for immediate resignation of the Prime Minister Jhala Nath Khanal.
NC vice chairman Ram Chandra Poudel said after the CWC meeting that the party would start talks for the implementation of the five-point deal.
"We have concluded that the agreement should be implemented to resolve the problems," said he.
The CWC meeting also endorsed the five-point agreement and concluded that the new agreement has turned the earlier UML-Maoist seven-point deal completely redundant.
According to a source, a number of CWC members said at the meeting that the party should not cling on to the demand for immediate resignation of the Prime Minister since the latter has already expressed readiness to quit and that the party should focus on the implementation of the five-point agreement altogether.
On Wednesday, in his address to the nation, Prime Minister Khanal said he would step down if the NC suggested "an alternative based on consensus". nepalnews.com
