No passage without amendments: Maoist Center reiterates stance on MCC

KATHMANDU: The CPN-Maoist Center has clarified that it holds a firm position that the US-backed Millennium Challenge Corporation (MCC) could not be passed without necessary amendments.

A correspondence between Prime Minister Sher Bahadur Deuba, Maoist Center Chair Pushpa Kamal Dahal ‘Prachanda’ and MCC was leaked in the media Sunday. The two leaders had sought about five months for parliamentary ratification of the MCC Nepal Compact in the letter.
