As the government remained unfazed by mass protest of May 1st the party has decided to launch indefinite strike, Maoists said.

In a press interaction program organised in the capital yesterday, Maoist Chairman Prachada said the movement will be centred on major towns across the country including the capital. Major mass movement will be held in Kathmandu.

“We have declared the indefinite political strike from May 2 for peace and constitution out of compulsion,” said Prachanda, addressing the press meet. 

The Maoists have also announced to launch mass demonstration on May 1, the International Labour Day, to pressure the government to step down.

However, the Maoist chairman said the party will be open for dialogue and consensus even in the midst of strike.

Prachanda, the hero of Nepalese people\\\'s war appealed to industries, transportation and educational institutions to take the presser as the third people’s movement and keep the institutions shut during the strike.
