Parties agreed in 23 points


Even as the big three parties claimed they have reached 23-point understanding to break the political deadlock, they have decided to confer with representatives of civil society on Sunday before endorsing the same through seven party meeting.
The agreement to confer with the civil society gathering was reached as a compromise on Maoist demand for roundtable meet. The Nepali Congress (NC) and Unified Marxist Leninist (UML) rejected the roundtable demand but agreed to confer with a gathering of civil society.
Following the meeting of top leaders of NC, UML and Maoists, on Saturday, they called a civil society leader Padma Ratna Tuladhar and requested him to organise an interaction.

He said that civil society representatives will listen to the decision of three parties and give their opinions.
