Kathmandu, May 5 

Nepal's embattled Prime Minister KP Oli today rejected calls by Madhesis to re-write the new Constitution, hours after surviving a threat to his government following a U-turn by Prachanda-led Maoists who decided not to withdraw support to him.

Addressing the Parliament, Oli refuted reports that he was planning to dissolve the House in the wake of possible withdrawal of support to the seven-month-old coalition government by UCPN-Maoist. "There is no truth in the rumour about dissolving the Parliament. It is totally baseless," he said.

His remarks came hours after the top leaders of the coalition partners met at the residence of the Maoist chief Prachanda and decided not to withdraw support to the government for the time being.

It has not been disclosed what type of understanding the Maoists have reached with Oli's party to change its earlier decision. In his address, 64-year-old Oli urged the disgruntled parties to come forward for talks to resolve their issues. — PTI
