1 May, Kathmandu: Chairman of the Unified CPN (Maoist) Pushpa Kamal Dahal has says the ‘rightist risk’ has increased in the communist movement in the name of socialism.
Addressing a memorial programme commemorating the 14th death anniversary of Nirmal Lama, a veteran of the country’s communist movement, he underlined the need of unity among the true communists for breaking the risk seen in the name of socialism.
“Whenever there is a problem in the movement and the danger is felt, it is exactly at such times the tendency that Marxism is wrong and socialist democracy is right is seen. And, this ultimately spells trouble to the communist movement.”
Stating the same kind of thought has proliferated in his party alsoafter it was reduced to the third position from the first in terms of strength after the November 19 Constituent Assembly election, he reiterated unity among the communist forces even to institutionalize the demands raised by the People’s War, the People’s Movement and the Madhes Movement among the different movements.
The UCPN (Maoist) chairman noted that some agenda of the new people’s revolution have been basically fulfilled but the true revolutionaries should come together on issues of moving ahead towards a capitalistic socialist revolution institutionalizing the achievements made from the different movements.
He accepted that the party has missed out in terms of the class sincerity and national agenda in the past and stressed that the need today is to correct these shortcomings and move forward.
UCPN (Maoist) leader Narayan Kaji Shrestha said that the only way we can institutionalize the achievements of the movements is by producing a pro-people constitution from the Constituent Assembly.
Born in 1989 BS in Kurseong, Darjeeling of India, Lama was one of the pioneer communist leaders of the country. He was a contemporary of veteran communist leaders like Pushpa Lal, the founder general secretary of the Communist Party of Nepal, Nara Bahadur Karmacharya, Manmohan Adhikari and Mohan Bikram Singh.
