Speaking at a programme in Biratnagar, Nepal today claimed that the government could provide aid to the rebels if they stopped extortions from the people.

"The government can ask for funds from international donors to help the Maoists army," Nepal said.

Hinting at the Maoists' demand of dissolution of the recently reinstated House of Representatives (HoR), Nepal also said that dissolving the newly revived House would be suicidal before any political outcome is achieved.

"The House has to be there until another reliable institution with public representation is setup," he said.

The Maoists have been saying that the present House and the government should be dissolved before forming an interim government and constitution to go for constituent assembly elections.

The government and Maoists, in their first round of peace talks on Friday, announced the 25-point Code of Conduct governing the cease-fire announcements so as to ensure a violence-free environment.

They agreed that donations and financial assistance in cash, kind or service shall not be collected and mobilized against anyone's will.

Both sides agreed to invite credible national and international monitoring teams to oversee the ceasefire and compliance to the Code of Conduct.

According to the Code of Conduct, the government and the Maoists have agreed to stop new recruitment in their armies and to refrain from strikes in industries and educational institutions.
