Kavre, November 12:

Standing committee member of the CPN-UML, Keshav Badal, has said that parties should hold talks with the Maoists once polls to the constituent assembly are held under UN mediation. Addressing a meeting in Kavre today, he said Nepal was being isolated due to the autocratic move of the King.

“Media ordinance was introduced to curb the rights of journalists,” the CPN-UML leader said, warning the parties that another ordinance may be promulgated soon to control them.
