Accepting the weakness that the government could not achieve during his tenure, Prachanda, also the chairman of the Communist Party of Nepal Maoist) (UCPN-M) declared resignation from his post when he was addressing to the nation.

After Prachanda resigned from the prime minister post, the party’s central secretariat meeting was holding in capital Kathmandu to ensure further steps.

“To outline the further strategic political movement after resigning from the coalition government, we have call on a meeting,” UCPN-M spokesperson Dinanath Sharma told Xinhua just after the Prachanda’s resignation.

Talking to Xinhua, Sharma said that the party will assist the peace process by writing new constitution even being outside of the government.

“We will do our best to constitutionalize democracy in the nation for which our party is committed,” Sharma said, adding that the party did not struggle for “post” in the government.

Earlier on Monday, Prachanda delivered his special message following the current political chaos intensified after President Ram Baran Yadav put veto power on sacking of Chief of Army Staff Rookmangud Katawal.

In his 14 minute-long speech, Prachanda said that his party had succeeded to establish republican government ending 240 years old Monarchy. “Outer element are plotting against us which is biggest challenge for us,” said Prachanda.

He addressed the nation as the first elected Prime Minister of republican government.

“We may not have achieved the progress like you,” he said, indicating the former governments and the political parties in his speech, adding that his party will not conceal its fragility like other parties.

The political turn came after UCPN-M failed to gather political consensus on Chief of Army Staff row which further developed the resignation of Prime Minister.

However, his resignation is yet to submit before President Yadav.

Just before Prachanda’s address in the name of nation, District Administration Office (DAO) of Kathmandu on Monday imposed prohibitory orders in some areas of the Nepali capital of Kathmandu.

The areas include Nepali President’s residence in Shital Niwas and Army Headquarters and its surrounding areas.

All types of protests have been banned in and around these areas. Security personnel have also been posted at campuses in large numbers to avoid any untoward incident.

The Nepali government led by the UCPN-M on Sunday morning decided to sack Chief of Army Staff Rookmangud Katawal without the coalition’s consensus. The Communist Party of Nepal (Unified Marxist-Leninist) (CPN- UML), which is the second largest party of the five-member ruling coalition, and Sadbhavana Party led by Rajendra Mahato pulled out from the coalition government.

Late on Sunday, Nepali President Ram Baran Yadav faxed a special instruction to Katawal, asking him to continue in his office, which the UCPN-M leaders termed unconstitutional and meaningless.

The UCPN-M emerged from the Constituent Assembly elections in April 2008 as the single largest party and led the formation of the first republic government in August 2008.

Ahead of that, the formerly Communist Party of Nepal (Maoist) led by Prachanda signed the Comprehensive Peace Accord with the then government in November, 2006, ending the decade civil war in Nepal.
