Rider for talks dropped

Kathmandu: The Rastriya Prajatantra Party-Nepal, which had asked the Federal Socialist Forum-Nepal to quit the government if it wanted to hold unity talks with it, has moderated its stance telling the FSF-N that it was ready for a dialogue without any preconditions.

Member of RJP-N presidium Rajendra Mahto had announced on Friday that his party would publicly propose unity talks with all like-minded parties.

“We are ready to hold unity talks or form an alliance with like-minded parties,” Mahto had said.
