Maoist Center holding Central Committee meeting today



KATHMANDU: CPN (Maoist Center) is holding a meeting of its Central Committee (CC) today.

Secretary of the Maoist Center Central Office Shree Ram Dhakal informed that the meeting will be held at the Rastriya Sabhagriha, Exhibition Road.

Earlier, a meeting of the party’s Central Committee was held in Lalitpur for the first time after the party’s eighth general convention, which re-elected Pushpa Kamal Dahal “Prachanda” as the chairman.

The meeting to be held today will chalk out the party’s future action plan. The party is yet to nominate office bearers.

Likewise, the meeting will also dwell on the formation of the party’s Standing Committee, politburo and division of responsibilities of central leaders.

The meeting is likely to be extended for two to three days.

Meanwhile, the disgruntled faction led by party leader Narayan Kaji Shrestha is likely to raise the issue of the Millennium Challenge Corporation (MCC) that has been ratified by the Parliament earlier this week.

Shrestha has been criticizing party Chairman Prachanda for supporting the Prime Minister Sher Bahadur Deuba-led government to ratify MCC.

The Maoist party is currently embroiled in a controversy after Chairman Prachanda went against the decision of the parliamentary party to quit the government rather than passing MCC.

Leaders Narayan Kaji Shrestha, Krishna Bahadur Mahara, Dev Gurung, Giriraj Mani Pokhrel, Lilamani Pokhrel among others have been putting forth different views on the issue.
