Kathmandu, Aug 24: The newly formed party--CPN (Unified Socialist) has set a goal to move forward on the path of socialism by protecting the norms and values of people's multi-party democracy.    

The two-day meeting of proposed central committee members and lawmakers of the party held at Chandragiri passed the party's statute. Some members, including Madhav Kumar Nepal, have left the CPN (UML) and formed a new party, the CPN (Unified Socialist).

Talking to media persons after the meeting, the Chairperson of the party, Madhav Kumar Nepal, said that a new party has been formed rebelling against wrong tendencies, ideas and values.
