Similarly, leader Nepal commented that those dubbed the third generation in the UML had no guts at all to protest. They could not stand firm before Oli, he accused.

On a different note, Nepal, who is also the former Prime Minister, said, “Nepal must not shun the non-alignment policy while endorsing MCC Compact. Similarly, Nepal should be not become an ally to any military organization and security umbrella. Nepal must be independent and free to take its decision, protect intellectual property and have ownership of the land to be used by MCC and do auditing of the project by itself.”

Even the employees and labors should be from Nepal, Unified Socialist Chairperson Nepal underscored. He viewed that the five-party alliance would continue till coming election.
