Kathmandu: The UCPN (Maoist) has reiterated that it won't join the government until the UML expresses its commitment to implement the seven-point agreement signed between the two parties just before last week's prime ministerial election.
A meeting of the Maoist standing committee on Friday approved the decision of the party leadership not to join the government.
"The party has decided to ask the UML to clarify its position on the seven-point agreement," Maoist spokpesrson Dina Nath Sharma told reporters after the meeting held at the party headquarters, Peris Danda, Koteshwor.
Following several rounds of failed negotiations for sharing of portfolios, the Maoist party yesterday decided to stay out of the government and continue support from outside.
Meanwhile, the Standing Committee also decided to resume the cadre training programme which had been cancelled following internal dispute. It also decided to mark the 'people's war day' on February 13.
