PM not needed in HLPM: Dahal

Pushpa Kamal Dahal, the chairman of the Unified CPN (Maoist) said that the Prime Minister is not needed in the High Level Political Mechanism.

"There is no meaning of keeping the PM in the mechanism as he is the one because of whom there is political impasse," Dahal told reporters at the Dhangadi Airport prior to his return to the capital.



He also added that the government has panicked after the constitution of the mechanism. But he said the main issue of the mechanism is to end the political impasse, not the change of government.

Dahal was in Dhangadi for the inspection visit of border areas. On Tuesday morning, he returned Kathmandu after attending a cadre training program.
