CPN (Unified Socialist) Chairman Madhav Kumar Nepal said that the Millennium Challenge Corporation (MCC) will not be supported in the existing form.

Speaking at a press conference organized by Socialist Press Organization, Parsa in Birgunj on Friday, the former Prime Minister said, “MCC will not be supported in the current form. This is our clear opinion.”

Responding to a question that the coalition might break down if the MCC is not endorsed from the Parliament at the earliest, he said that they are ready to face all the challenges.

“We are holding discussions among the leaders on which points need to be corrected, but the United States is not in favor of amendments. We are holding discussions with the United States on the same as well,” he said.

Saying that the parties have differing views on the MCC and people are staging demonstrations against the compact, Chairman Nepal stressed that the people be made clear about the agreement.
