A panel of four major parties that backs Nepal's interim election government has urged a radical Maoist grouping to come to the negotiation table, party leaders said Sunday.
The High Level Political Committee (HLPC) Saturday decided to send a letter for the talks, reports Xinhua.
HLPC coordinator Pushpa Kamal Dahal, who is also the chairman of the Unified Communist Party of Nepal-Maoist, sent the letter to CPN-Maoist, Dahal's secretariat told Xinhua.
The CPN-Maoist, a breakaway faction of UCPN-Maoist, is launching a nationwide campaign to disrupt the Nov 19 Constituent Assembly poll. It is insisting there should not be any conditions during the negotiation.
The government has also sent a separate letter to CPN-Maoist.
The CPN-Maoist is arguing that the Nov 19 poll should be deferred and the current government should be dissolved.
