KATHMANDU, Jan 10, 2009 (Xinhua via COMTEX News Network) -- Nepali Prime Minister Prachanda has said that the government was all set to provide new momentum to the ongoing peace process, The Rising Nepal reported on Sunday.
"The peace process will get a new direction as a consensus has been reached amicably among the political parties on the constitutional committees," Prachanda said addressing a congregation after inaugurating the academic complex of the Pokhara University in western Nepal on Saturday.
The Prime Minister, who is also the Chancellor of the Pokhara University, arrived in the city, some 200 km west of Kathmandu, to take part at the ninth general assembly of the university.
Prachanda disclosed he received information from the representatives of the United Nations that UN Security Council would be holding a serious discussion on Nepal's ongoing peace initiative.
He said that the special committee would sit together before the Security Council meeting to discuss the ways to give a new initiative to peace endeavor.
The political parties have already made their mind on the issue of nominating of the chairpersons of various constitutional committees. This agreement would also impart a new impetus and direction to the peace process, he said.
Prachanda claimed that nobody could topple the government at present. "We are travelling in the same boat. If the boat sinks, we all will drown with it."
"I don't think that like in the past, the game of toppling the government would be played again. It is something unthinkable," he declared.
Prachanda urged the political parties that instead of hatching conspiracies against the government with the fear that it would support a particular party, they should try to implement programmes that would bring about direct changes in people's life.
He informed that all the members of the cabinet had principally agreed on forming a high-level education commission that would formulate a new education policy for new Nepal.
