KATHMANDU: Nepal Communist Party (NCP) Chairman Pushpa Kamal Dahal has accused Netra Bikram Chand ‘Biplav’ of mobilizing a team to assassinate him.

Speaking at a program organized by Nepal Communist Party at Perisdanda in the capital on Thursday, Dahal said, Biplav who also took part in the Maoist insurgency is now conspiring to take his life.

“I am the first target of Biplav-led group, among others. They have also mobilized a team to this effect. A government source informed me about it this morning,” Dahal said. “Will federalism be saved following my assassination?” asked Dahal.

Meanwhile, he advised Biplav to think twice before taking a plunge into the conflict saying that the current situation is different than the past.
