Kathmandu, Oct 6 Former General Secretary of the Unified Marxist Leninist (UML) Madhav Kumar Nepal is likely to lead the high-level political coordination committee.

According to Nepalnews, the UML is recommending Nepal's name to lead the committee which is going to be formed in order to provide political guidance to the government.

The committee will include representations from all the coalition partners.

Earlier, Nepal urged the coalition partners to create an environment of trust in order to make sure that the current government survives its full-term - two years.

Nepal's statement comes after the claim of some Nepali Congress leaders that the Maoist-led coalition government would collapse due to dispute among the ruling parties.

Stating that no political principles can be established in Nepali society unless status of people is improved, he termed the Maoist proposal of People''s Republic as untimely and inappropriate at this time.

He also expressed the hope that the current government would be able to address the aspirations of the people.

He urged all political parties to concentrate on writing a new Constitution within the stipulated time. (ANI)
