II. http://www.nepalnews.com/archive/2012/apr/apr11/news14.php PLA handover decision has foiled conspiracy against peace, constitution: Dahal UCPN (Maoist) chairman Pushpa Kamal Dahal Wednesday said that his party’s decision to hand over the People’s Liberation Army (PLA) cantonments to the Nepal Army put to an end to all kinds of conspiracies against peace and constitution writing process. Speaking at a programme in Kathmandu, Dahal said described the decision as a risky one and that his party took the risk for the cause of peace. “Our decision has put aside all the plots to disrupt peace and constitution writing process,” he said, adding, "A party rarely gets the kind of opportunity and the challenges our party has got at present," he said, adding that the peace process could not completely conclude even by May 27 as a number of works under the peace agreement like formation of Truth and Reconciliation Commission and the commission on disappearances are yet to be formed. Dahal also urged people not to doubt over parties’ commitment to promulgate new constitution on time. “Nation will get new constitution with federalism by May 27,” he added. -- Peace Is Doable -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Green Youth Movement" group.
