KATHMANDU: Five communist parties in Nepal, excluding CPN-UML, have decided to launch a joint campaign condemning what they describe as Israeli intervention in the Middle East.
The decision was made during a joint meeting held at the CPN (Maoist Centre) headquarters in Paris Danda on Saturday. The meeting included representatives from the CPN (Maoist Centre), CPN (Unified Socialist), Netra Bikram Chand ‘Biplav’-led CPN, CPN (Revolutionary Maoist), and CPN (Masal).
Maoist Centre General Secretary Dev Gurung said the parties agreed to jointly oppose Israeli actions and organize unified protest programs against what they termed ‘brutal massacres’ committed by Israel against Palestinians.
The meeting also discussed forming a mechanism to coordinate protest campaigns and to hold discussions with other parties to broaden support for the initiative.
Leaders present at the meeting included Maoist Centre Chair Pushpa Kamal Dahal ‘Prachanda’, Unified Socialist Chair Madhav Kumar Nepal, Biplav faction spokesperson Khadga Bahadur Bishwakarma, CPN (Masal) General Secretary Mohan Bikram Singh, and Acting General Secretary of the Revolutionary Maoist party, CP Gajurel.
