KATHMANDU: Pushpa Kamal Dahal ‘Prachanda’ has warned that his party will protest both in the streets and in Parliament if any attempts are made to undermine the constitution or weaken national interests.
Speaking at a program organized at the party’s central office in Paris Danda on Saturday, the coordinator of the Nepali Communist Party said his party would extend constructive support to the government led by the Rastriya Swatantra Party. However, he cautioned that any interference with constitutional provisions or threats to national interest would be firmly resisted.
He accused the government of attempting to question the rights of students and employee trade unions, warning against any move to curtail rights achieved through long struggle, sacrifice, and dedication.
Prachanda clarified that his party is not against constitutional amendment, but stressed that any such move should aim to expand people’s rights and strengthen federalism.
He also noted that the party is conducting a serious internal review following election results that were not as expected. He expressed confidence that through self-assessment, reconnecting with the public, and strengthening party organization, better results could be achieved in future elections.
