CPN (Maoist) chairman Pushpa Kamal Dahal 'Prachanda' has
claimed that "foreign reactionary forces" are acting
behind the current political twist in Nepal politics,
which could pose threat to national sovereignty and
integrity.
In a press meet organised at its CPN-M's CA party office
in Singha Durbar to publicise the decision taken by the
party Tuesday morning, Prachanda said the new coalition of
Nepali Congress, CPN (UML) and Madhesi Janadhikar Forum is
continuation of the political game being practiced during
the 90s.
He further said the NC-UML-MJF coalition would push the
nation into grave internal conflict thereby giving
opportunity to foreigners to take its advantage.
Informing that the current government has stopped
releasing the budget for People's Liberation Army (PLA),
Prachanda warned the situation would turn volatile if it
continued to violate the past agreements.
According to him, reactionary forces had been trying since
the Constituent Assembly polls to stop the Maoists from
taking over the leadership of new government.
Amendment of the constitution empowering the parties to
change the government with simple majority vote, demanding
for dismantling of the PLA and delaying formation of new
government were some of the instances he cited to
substantiate his claims.
The Maoist strongman also revealed that his party had
received pressure from New Delhi to accept Girija Prasad
Koirala as the president of the country. Responding to a
query from journalists, he denied infiltration of Indian
spies into his party, but said all parties in Nepal have
contacts and relations with Indian agents, and his party
is not an exception.
He also stressed on the need for unity among all
communists, pro-republic forces and ethnic groups for
safeguarding the national sovereignty and integrity. nepalnews.com ia July 22 08
