Campaign connected Maoists more closely with people: Chairman Prachanda

By TRN Online, Kathmandu, April 30: CPN (Maoist Center) has concluded the postal highway-centered Terai Madhes Awareness Campaign run for over two months.

CPN (Maoist Center) Chairman Pushpa Kamal Dahal 'Prachanda' addressed mass assembly at Bhimadatta Nagar in Kanchanpur district today where the western entrance of the Postal Highway is located.

In the conclusion ceremony, Maoist Chair Prachanda and other senior leaders of the party addressed the programme. During the Campaign the Maoist leaders held interaction with the people at the local levels, families of the martyrs and the people made to disappear, those injured during the political movements and other victims.

The campaign had started on 25 February from Kachankebal in Jhapa.

Initially it was thought that the campaign will conclude in a month. But political developments forced the Maoist party to pause it for some time.

"We had to pause Campaign staged demonstration in Kathmandu to safeguard republic system as a counter to the monarchist ill intention to undo the democratic system," said Chairman Prachanda while addressing the mass assembly in Bhimadatta Nagar.

Process to build and speed of construction of Postal Highway was initiated during my premiership in 2008, said Prachanda, that's why we chose this area also to highlight the need of development here, said Prachanda, also the former Prime Minister, while addressing the meeting.

Campaign was a chance for us to listen to the people, their daily life, occupational, professional, development related problems while we took direct note of different industries, he said, our party has now connected with the people more closely.
