Nepali Minister for Culture, Tourism, Civil Aviation Pradip Gyawali, who is also a member of the Nepali government negotiating team, said here Sunday that a political conference involving all sides, as being demanded by the guerrilla, can be organized without dissolving the reinstated parliament.

Addressing a function organized in Kathmandu, Gyawali said outcome of such a conference could be then discussed and moved forward by the House of Representatives.

Gyawali, who is also a central committee member of the Communist Party Nepal-Unified Marxist Leninist, also urged the guerrilla to review their demand for dissolution of the reinstated parliament, saying that the House of Representatives was needed as a ladder to move towards the Constituent Assembly.

"We are insisting to continue the House since 'regressive elements' could have a chance to play if the House was dissolved without holding elections to the Constituent Assembly," he said.

Gyawali also alleged that "regressive forces" were active in making the present government a failure. However, he did not elaborate.
