Gajurel comes down heavily on PM, Dahal
SARLAHI, DEC 11 -
UCPN (Maoist) Secretary CP Gajurel has accused the party leadership and the prime minister of working against the spirit of the “People’s War”.
Addressing a press meet at Nawalpur in Sarlahi on Saturday, Gajurel claimed that the present Maoist leadership and the government headed by the party’s Vice-chairman Baburam Bhattarai had “dissolved” the PLA in the name of peace and
constitution writing. “Unscientific army integration cannot ensure peace and constitution. The political situation of the country will continue to be as complex as ever,” he said.
He said that taking back plots of land from farmers and returning them to feudal landlords; integration of former Maoist combatants in a manner that suggested dissolution of the People’s Liberation Army (PLA); and signing of the Bilateral Investment Promotion and Protection Agreement with India were all against the interest of the country.
He also accused party Chairman Pushpa Kamal Dahal of taking the side of feudal landlords while returning the seized land in Bardiya. “But we will never accept decisions that are against the party’s line and let the authorities return the properties,” he said.
Gajurel said the ideological differences that started affecting the party soon after the party
leadership decided to hand over the keys to arms containers to the Special Committee had widened as the establishment side continued working against the party’s line.
He, however, said the party will not split over the internal differences, no matter how bad.
The Maoist secretary said the current government will not last long and that Bhattarai will not be around to lead the national consensus government. “Should the Maoists get a chance to head the national consensus government, it should be led by somone from the Mohan Baidya faction,” he said.
