KATHMANDU, MAY 11 -
The widening rift between Chairperson Pushpa Kamal Dahal and Vice-chairperson Mohan Baidya has affected the functioning of the Maoists' Central Disciplinary Department.
The Maoist Standing Committee (SC) had formed the disciplinary department on Feb 26 to monitor the implementation of the party's code of conduct. Party Secretary Post Bahadur Bogati is the coordinator of the department. Although three months have elapsed since
the cell's formation, there has not been any progress towards investigation into cases lodged against the party leaders and cadres.
A department member said they have not started the task due to the ever-widening intra-party rift. Coordinator Bogati has reportedly told his team members to refrain from initiating the task at this juncture. “If we start to investigate into financial irregularities and organisational anarchism, the disgruntled faction might take it as a revenge, which further deepens the crisis,” said a member. The department sought the party's mandate to investigate into financial irregularities and organisational anarchism a month ago. The leadership had formed the department after widespread complaints and dissatisfaction that party leaders and cadres were involved in financial irregularities.
According to leaders, there are hundreds of cases registered in the party headquarters against leaders of cadres about amassing property and violating the code. The leaders said there are three types of anomalies--- organisational violation, financial irregularities and cultural deviation. Hasta Bahadur KC, a member of the department said their works have been stalled due to the growing intra-party fissure, mainly between two factions. “There has not been any progress in our work due to the widening intra-party rift,” said KC.
According to sources, even top brass will come under the department's scanner for involving in financial irregularities.
Leaders say the top leaders really do not want to make the department effective and result-oriented. The party implemented a 15-point code with a view to controlling the “lavish lifestyle” of the leadership.
