An opposition alliance comprising the NC, the CPN (Maoist Center), CPN-UML’s Madhav Nepal faction, Upendra Yadav-led faction of Janata Samajbadi Party (JSP) and Rastriya Janamorcha (RJM) held an interaction program at the Federal Parliament Building with civil society leaders and intellectuals on Monday.

Also speaking at the program, Maoist Center Chairman Pushpa Kamal Dahal said that parliament, which was dissolved on May 22, is likely to be reinstated by the court. “However, we are still not convinced,” he said ,adding that they should stay alert.
Madhav Nepal, a senior leader of the UML said that he would stay intact with the alliance in a bid to safeguard the democracy.
