KATHMANDU: CPN (Maoist) General Secretary Netra Bikram Chand ‘Biplav’ has rejected the call for party unity made by Nepali Communist Party Coordinator Pushpa Kamal Dahal ‘Prachanda’.
Biplav said that Prachanda’s reluctance to even cooperate in the upcoming March 5 elections has rendered the discourse on party unity stale, outdated and unsuccessful within the communist movement.
In a statement posted on Facebook, Biplav wrote that a party unwilling to cooperate even on an electoral front has no moral or political ground to speak about unity. He described such calls as deceptive and ineffective tactics that no longer resonate within the communist movement.
“Talking about unity by a party that is not ready for cooperation even in the electoral front has become a stale and failed gimmick in the communist movement. Only those whose ideology has died, whose courage has rotted, who have lost hope, and who are crushed by their own history fall into such illusions,” he stated.
Biplav said that the current priority of the movement should be building a common front and cooperation among communist parties, aligning ideology, political line, programs and objectives, and strengthening the Marxist–Leninist–Maoist party.
He further said that the Maoist party remains the center of unity, progress and political possibility, expressing confidence that the future will prove this assertion.
