No talks until PM makes up his mind: Rai

Senior leader Ashok Rai of Sanghiya Samajwadi Forum Nepal, a constituent of agitating Sanghiya Gathabandhan, has said that the agitating sides will not join the talks table until Prime Minister KP Oli makes up his mind for an effective dialogue.

Leader Rai made such remark a day after PM Oli issued a letter inviting Sanghiya Gathabandhan for talks. He opined that PM Oli should make his position clear on the 26-point charter of demands put forward by the Gathabandhan before inviting them for talks.

The Sanghiya Gathabandha—an alliance of Janajati and Madhesi parties—has been staging a relay hunger strike at Khullamanch in Kathmandu after their months long border blockade and a recent Capital-centric protests could not yield result.

Leader Rai, who is also taking part in the hunger strike, said, if PM Oli wants solution through talks and dialogues, he should demonstrate it through action rather than speeches.
