KATHMANDU: The Central Committee (CC) meeting of the Nepal Communist Party (NCP) KP Oli faction has endorsed 16 proposals while welcoming Parliament dissolution and directing cadres to prepare for the mid-term election.

“It was a compelling step taken to end the ongoing non-cooperation, siege, and conspiracy for some leaders’ vested interests and to prevent public mandate from heading towards a wrong direction,” the proposal states about Parliament dissolution.

The meeting revoked the executive power entrusted to another Chairman Pushpa Kamal Dahal alias Prachanda by the decision of the Central Committee and the Standing Committee.

The Oli faction stated that action has been taken against Prachanda for not acting as per the party’s constitution and engaging in anti-party activities.

NCP’s central publicity department’s deputy chief Surya Thapa said that proposal was passed calling one and all to remain cautious about the steps that could be taken to weaken the democratic system. The meeting also approved the proposal called the PM Oli’s move to dissolve the parliament as an obligatory step.

Preventing the people’s elected government from functioning, not internalizing the historical opportunities achieved to lead the nation and the opportunistic activities and interest-centric alliance are the outcome of the current situation, shared the meeting’s conclusion.

Stating that the country’s sovereignty and state power remains on people as guaranteed by the Constitution of Nepal, the PM’s move to seek fresh mandate and seeking resolution of all the issues through people’s move is deemed a democratic, constitutional and natural step, the meeting further concluded. It also urged all political parties to participate in the campaign of the election through a healthy debate and competition to strengthen democratic system.

The meeting also assured the people about the party’s stance on safeguarding Nepal’s constitution, federal democratic republic and achievements of the changes as well as for the cause of development.

The meeting also endorsed the expansion of central committee which was given speed and new life by PM Oli as the first Chairman of the party.

Similarly, it gave utmost value to the development works of long term importance, construction of strategic infrastructures, social justice and society security scheme, implementation of constitution and federalism, strengthening of nationality and the expansion of the international relations in the last three years; and made resolution to build public trust, make ongoing development works successful, and establish the party and government as the precursor of socioeconomic transformation.

Moreover, the meeting also thanked the PM and Nepal government for bringing new map of Nepal and amending constitution accordingly. The government has been urged to make effective the diplomatic efforts to solve the border problems and ensure Nepal’s ownership of the territory included in the new political map.

Extending gratitude to all friendly countries including the neighbours for their continued support and good will to Nepal’s development and prosperity, the NCP made resolution to move ahead in a firm manner for political stability, socioeconomic transformation. It also expressed confidence that such support and good will of the neighbouring countries would continue in the days ahead.

It supported the ordinance brought recently against heinous crimes against women as acid attack; and expressed happiness over Nepal’s re-election to UN Human Rights Council, and in the CEDAW Committee.

The meeting paid tribute to those losing lives to the Covid-19, and wished speedy recovery to those suffering from the coronavirus. It demanded the government to take effective measure to prod industrialists to pay the sugarcane farmers.

Earlier, a Central Committee meeting of Prachanda-Madhav Kumar Nepal faction had sacked Oli of the party’s Chairmanship and appointed senior leader Nepal as Chairman.

The Oli faction has already registered the amended statute with the Election Commission on Thursday so that only the sign of only the first Chairman (Oli) will be authentic.
