Party chief: CPN-UML not to topple gov't


KATHMANDU, Feb. 25 (Xinhua) -- The newly elected Chairman of the Communist Party of Nepal (Unified Marxist-Leninist) (CPN-UML) Jhala Nath Khanal on Wednesday said his party will not indulge in a game to topple the government, Nepali national news agency RSS reported.

Khanal hinted at the possibility of a government with the national unity. The CPN-UML is the most important coalition party in the government led by the Unified Communist Party of Nepal (Maoist) (UCPN-M). The coalition government was formed in last August after the Constituent Assembly declared the country a federal democratic republic on May 28, 2008.

Speaking to journalists in Butwal, some 180 km west of Nepali capital Kathmandu, Khanal said, "Ultra leftists and status quoits cannot lead the government."

Khanal said integration and rehabilitation of the UCPN-M combatants should be carried out as per the Comprehensive Peace Accord signed in November, 2006.
