Maoist Centre decides to go for unification bid with other like-minded parties

Kathmandu, Nov 1: The CPN (Maoist Centre) has decided to unite with different left political parties within some days.     

A meeting of the party secretariat held today decided to convene a meeting of the immediate past central committee on November 3 and sort out the unification process, Maoist Centre's Spokesperson Agni Prasad Sapkota said.     

Sapkota said, "Party unification was meeting's agenda today. The ideological, theoretical, political and policy issues of the unification have almost sorted out. Mostly technical and organizational issues were discussed today."     

According to Sapkota, the Maoist Centre is uniting with the CPN (Unified Socialist), Mahindra Raya Yadav-led Janata Samajwadi Party, CPN (UML)'s splinter Prem Bahadur Singh, Raju Karki-led CPN (Socialist) and Jana Samajwadi Party led by Subash Kafle.     

He also shared that discussions are ongoing to unite with the group led by Chiran C, a faction split from the party of Netra Bikram Chand 'Biplav'.     

"We have an emphasis to unite with all left parties. But, unity should not be delayed. Today's conclusion is our efforts will be weak in national politics if the unity was delayed. Otherwise, the country will be pushed to further anarchy," Spokesperson Sapkota added.     

The unity of communist parties is also forwarded by keeping the upcoming March 5 elections to the House of Representatives (HoR).     

However, party leader Janardan Sharma had a dissenting voice on the unification process and rather argued to make the Maoist Centre stronger instead of the unification. As the meeting was ongoing, Sharma skipped the meeting after putting his views against the unification efforts.(RSS)
