Communists have brought future in Nepal: Madhav Nepal

Kathmandu, July 22: CPN (Unified Socialist) Chairman and former Prime Minister Madhav Kumar Nepal has cautioned the party leaders and activists towards conspiracies hatched to crumble the current ruling coalition. 

At a programme on "Socialism: Debate and Struggle" organized by Socialism Study Centre Nepal here today, Chairman Nepal asked the leaders to move ahead by internalising the country's needs and ground reality adding that practice and principles don’t go as expected.

"Some of the communist parties are joining hands together with the regressive forces. Organisation development and strengthening should be focused on considering the party's weaknesses and limitations," the former PM said. 

On the occasion, Chairman Nepal said that capitalism was reeling under crisis and the country is sure to enter communism through socialism.     

He argued that scientific socialism was the only way to bring ultra-leftist and revisionist communist forces on the right track.     

Chairman Nepal said, "Socialism is a system working for the interest and welfare of people. Politics should be linked to people's service. We should be connected to people's woes. Communists have brought future in Nepal."     

Likewise, CPN (Maoist Centre) leader Pampha Bhusal said that heading to the goal of socialism was today's needs in Nepal by making a single and robust communist party.     

Socialism is defensive now. Socialism cannot be established without making a single strong communist party, Bhusal argued.     

Also speaking at the event, Dean of Open University Khagendra Prasain suggested that the communist parties in Nepal should connect minor reforms as the ladders for revolution.     

During the event, Chairman Nepal and leader Bhusal released the book Socialism: Debate and Struggle.     

The book consists of articles by Chairman Nepal, former prime ministers Dr Baburam Bhattarai and Jhalanath Khanal, leaders Ram Karki, Jagannath Khatiwada, Dr Bijay Poudel, Prof Dr Pitambar Sharma and other leaders.     

The book primarily focuses on Nepal's communist movement, the need for the socialist movement, opportunism within the communist parties, the development of a socialist front, and several related issues. (RSS)
