Heavyweights’ meeting on TRC, CIEDP  strikes no deal



KATHMANDU: The meeting of the top-notch leaders of the major two parties convened  at Baluwatar to address the long-stalled transitional justice has ended inconclusively after the heavyweights could not strike a deal.

Nepal Communist Party chairmen KP Oli, Pushpa Kamal Dahal and President of main opposition Nepali Congress Sher Bahadur Deuba held the meeting in a bid to forge consensus on the two commissions – the Truth and Reconciliation Commission (TRC) and the Commission of Investigation on Enforced Disappeared Persons (CIEDP) today.

The meeting could not make any headway after the top guns did not budge from their stances.

These two bodies, which had been formed in 2015 to address transitional justice, had been lying defunct for years due to political interference.

Over 16,000 people were killed and about 1,400 disappeared during the civil war fought between the Nepal Army and the Maoists.
