KATHMANDU: Naya Shakti Party (NSP) Coordinator Dr Baburam Bhattarai said the decision taken by the government on Nepal Communist Party led by Netra Bikram Chand ‘Biplav’ is wrong.

Talking to Khabarhub, Bhattarai said the treatments shown by the government towards CK Raut, Resham Chaudhary and Biplav are different, questing whether they are inadvertent or premeditated.

“CK Raut had been advocating for a separate Madhesh state. The government, hastily inked an 11-point deal with Raut who had been serving a jail-term, said Bhattarai, adding, “Resham Chaudhary was sentenced to life in prison over his involvement in the Tikapur incident.”

Bhattarai, who is also the former prime minister, openly objected to the government’s decision to ban the Biplav-led NCP for carrying out any further activities in the days ahead.

“It is wrong to put a ban on the activities of the Biplav-led NCP at a time when the party was launching a movement with extremist communist agendas,” Bhattarai said, suggesting dialogues as the best option to resolve the issue.

The government should take Biplav’s wrong activities among the people through political discourse rather than prohibiting his activities, added Bhattarai.
