Picture M K Nepal

UCPN (Maoist) chairman ( Prachanda) Pushpa Kamal Dahal claimed the state visit by Prime Minister Madhav Kumar Nepal to India is a shameful incident in the history of the country.

Dahal, who cited inability of PM Nepal to finalise trade treaty as indicative of Prime Minister’s visit being a failure, also added that it was a failed state visit because Indian media did not give it enough attention.

Meanwhile, the two countries signed the trade treaty after some amendments on Saturday.

Speaking to media persons in Birgunj Saturday morning, former Prime Minister Dahal added Maoist protests in parliament and in streets would continue until other parties agree to discuss the issue of the president’s move in the House.

He said it is a democratic process to debate the issue in the parliament. Dahal also blamed Nepali Congress and CPN (UML) of being stagnant political forces trying to obstruct the progressive changes as proposed by his party
