KATHMANDU: CPN-UML leader and former Minister Ghana Shyam Bhusal has lambasted the party leadership of busying itself in the blame game rather than taking the corrective and inclusive courses to strengthen the left movement.

Commenting on the threatening tone of the party establishement on his social media post on Wednesday, lawmaker Bhusal has said that the leadership has adopted the wrong policy of not confessing the weaknesses on its part.

“’First the party was divided blaming Prachanda for it and now the party is being divided by abusing Jhalanath-Madhav,” he wrote on his Wednesday’s post.

He has alerted the leadership that the words used to criticize each-other might please the reactionary and regressive elements working to foil the democratic system in Nepal.

Giving hint that his faction would not give up its current position, he has added that surrender would be a betrayal to the revolution and the revolutionaries. The disgruntled Nepal-Khanal faction is planning to resign rather than facing the humiliating treatment from PM Oli faction.

After 28 lawmakers of UML’s Nepal-Khanal faction did not appear in the House of Representatives to support the party Chairman and Prime Minister KP Oli on May 10, party Chair Oli faction is preparing to take disciplinary action against its own lawmakers.

Bhusal added, “There is a great controversy in history as to whether the insurgency contributes to the revolution or not.” But we are well aware that surrender is a betrayal of the revolution. “
