KATHMANDU: CPN-Maoist Center Chairman Pushpa Kamal Dahal ‘Prachanda’ has urged the public to be true nationalists instead of pursuing make-believe nationalists.
Addressing an interaction on Bharatpur Metropolitan City in Bharatpur, Chitwan, on Friday, he said the Indo-Pacific Strategy (IPS) and State Partnership Program (SPP) had clearly distinguished two factions in Nepali politics.
The Maoist chair was linking the issue of nationalism to widely-dubbed, self-proclaimed and stark nationalist CPN-UML Chairperson KP Sharma Oli.
He said that it has already been established that Indo-Pacific Strategy (IPS) and State Partnership Program (SPP) made way into Nepal during UML Chair Oli’s tenure as Prime Minister.
Prachanda said it was during Oli’s term that IPS and SPP were introduced to Nepal.
“At a program yesterday, I told that SPP was initiated during Oli’s term in 2019. Shortly after that, a senior UML leader gave an open challenge to prove it as fact. Within the next four hours, it was proved,” Prachanda said.
He added, “Therefore, I urge you not to pursue make-believe nationalism rather be a true nationalist.”
He said that IPS and SPP have clearly separated two differing sides in Nepali political. He added that the battle between the pro-unity and anti-unity factions was clear.
