KATHMANDU: Chairman of Maoist Center Pushpa Kamal Dahal “Prachanda” has reiterated the need to forge a national consensus on the issue of ratifying the Millennium Challenge Corporation (MCC) by making amendments.
Prachanda, in his political dossier presented at the party’s 8th General Convention, has emphasized the need to make amendments to the MCC Nepal Compact before endorsing it from the Parliament.
