"The idea of starting the revolt again is like inviting misfortune. There is no place even in the jungle where Maoists can hide," Pokharel said, adding the resumption of armed conflict will not yield any result now. [break]
Speaking at a press conference organized by Press Chautari, Sunsari, he said "If Maoists continue with their negative attitude the constitution will never be drafted."
He was also of the opinion that if the peace and constitution writing processes are not completed on time, the Maoists will have to take the blame for it as the former rebels, he said, have remained a main hindrance in completing the twin tasks.
Maoists have strayed on the wrong track and if they do not mend their ways, then other parties will have no other option than to stand against them, Pokharel warned.
