TULSIPUR, OCTOBER 28

CPN (UML) general secretary, Shankar Pokhrel, has said participating in the government is not the party's priority.

Speaking at a press meet organised by the Press Chautari Dang at Tulsipur today, he said the party's decision to support the formation of a new government under the NC leadership in Koshi was in response to a request from eight NC lawmakers.

He also stressed the importance of completing the remaining tasks of the peace process in accordance with basic global norms and values.
