Dissident Parties In Dialogue With HLPC

  1 min 27 sec to read

High Level Political Committee (HLPC) has started dialogue with the parties that are opposing the Constituent Assembly polls. Following three consecutive invitation letters from the HLPC, the disgruntled parties have finally agreed to sit for the table talks. 
 
During the dialogues, the dissident parties have so far presented their charter of demands before the HLPC.  The HLPC held dialogues separately with the CPN-Maoist-led 33-party alliance and Upendra Yadav-led Federal Democratic Front (FDF) on last Tuesday. The CPN-Maoist led alliance presented an 18-point demand before the HLPC, while FDF put forth six demands during the talks. 
 
The 18-point demand includes postponement of scheduled November 19 polls, scrapping 25-point presidential decree and 11-point agreement of parties, dissolution of the HLPC and the present government, formation of a party-led government and holding a Round Table Conference, among others. 
 
Also the 6 demands of FDF include the dissolution of the HLPC and Khilraj Regmi-led government. The Front has also demanded increasing the number of seats under Proportional Representation system in CA polls and extension of the deadline of voter registration process, among others.
 
Meanwhile, the HLPC also held dialogue with Ashok Rai-led Federal Socialist Party (FSP) on Thursday. The FSP, during the talk, has submitted 5-point demand to HLPC coordinator Pushpa Kamal Dahal. Dissolution of the HLPC and formation of all-party mechanism and retaining the strength of earlier CA are the key demands of FSP.
 
The leaders of the HLPC have said that they will sit for the dialogue again with the poll opposing parties after studying and assessing their demands.
