Prachanda denies agreement between 3 parties

Spokesman of the Front Prem Bahadur Singh informed that Chairman Prachanda had expressed commitment on not diverting from the decision of the 30-party Front, during today's meeting. He said the meeting today had leaders dwelling over subjects like forming a talks team to discuss the constitutional issues, and specifying the working method and code of conduct. BITE...
