CPN (Maoist Center) General Secretary and former Minister Dev Prasad Gurung has said that there is no need to worry about the Chinese ambassador's statement.
Every country has its own existence, independence, and sovereignty. It is a diplomatic belief that one should not comment on internal affairs. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs is reviewing what has happened, favorable or unfavorable. If necessary, it should be resolved through mutual dialogue and negotiation through the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. This is not something to worry about. I don't want to comment on any country or individual," he said in Nepali Radio Network's program "Nepali Bahas".
Maoist General Secretary Gurung also pointed out that there will be talks if necessary on the issue of Nepal's Chuche map not being included during Prime Minister Pushpa Kamal Dahal's visit to China. He said, "If necessary, we will talk, if not necessary, we may not talk." The Chukche map has also been unanimously passed by the Parliament. It is a subject to be communicated to all friendly countries, including the United Nations. That is what the Ministry of Foreign Affairs says.
He also said that there is no justification for Home Minister Narayankaji Shrestha to resign. He said, "Why should the Home Minister resign when he is taking action against corruption?" It is a different matter if it is removed in retaliation. He claims that the coalition government will continue for five years.
Will there be a government of national consensus in Koshi province? In response to journalist Dhamala's question whether he would participate in the UML-led government or not, leader Gurung said, "In the case of a hung parliament in the Union and the state, it is a matter of all-party or national consensus." But it was not possible. Again, it is seen that we should go through all-party or national consensus. Now the door of dialogue is not closed.
To another question about whether Bhimkant Bhandari, who was in the secretariat of the four ministers of Maoist, was arrested, he added, "There is no reason to say that the person arrested in the gold scandal belongs to this or that party." Why only Maoists in corruption? Anyone can be. Anyone who has done illegal work can be arrested.
