DHANGADHI, OCT 30 -
UCPN (Maoist) Chairman Pushpa Kamal Dahal has obliquely accepted his meeting with the agents of Research and Analysis Wing (RAW), the foreign intelligence agency of India.
Responding the reporters’ query on the accusation by the party General Secretary Ram Bahadur Thapa at Geta Airport in Kailali district on Saturday, Dahal said there was no need to comment over the “accusation”. “What’s wrong to meet with any people of the world regarding the issue of drafting new constitution and concluding peace process?” he questioned.
He also claimed that some party men strongly suggested him to meet the RAW agents.
In another context, Dahal said that the Bilateral Investment Promotion and Protection Agreement (BIPPA) signed with India during Prime Minister Baburam Bhattarai’s visit will make secured environment for the foreign investment in Nepal. He, however, said that there would be no guarantee of development and foreign investment by merely signing the agreement.
Dahal claimed that major political parties are inching closer to a consensus regarding the conclusion of peace and statute drafting processes.
The Maoist chief said that there would be an agreement among political parties regarding the integration and rehabilitation of the cantoned PLA combatants, constitution writing process, truth and reconciliation commission and disappearance commission. “We have concentrated our full efforts to bring the peace process to a successful conclusion for past few months. It is about to bear fruits now,” Dahal said, adding that the intra-party rift in the Maoist would not hamper the tasks of constitution writing and peace process.
Dahal came to the district to take part in a condolence meeting organised in memory of Durga Devi Bhatta, the mother of Maoist politburo member Lekhraj Bhatta. Before the condolence meeting Dahal attended a training programme at Attariya in the district.
The party leaders and activists close with hard-line faction led by Vice-chairman Mohan Baidya decided to attend the training programme in the eleventh hour. They had earlier decided to boycott the programme.
During the Kailali visit, Dahal also met with the party leaders and activists close to him at a hotel he was staying at.
