Maoists won’t compromise on federalism & identity: Prachanda

UCPN (Maoist) Chairman Pushpa Kamal Dhal has said that he is not in a mood to criticise anyone. He added that his party cannot give up the issue of federalism.

“We compromised on various issues for writing the new constitution, but our party would have been in a danger of collapse had we compromised on federalism and identity,” said the Maoist Chairman, addressing a mass meeting organised by the party establishment faction at Khula Manch in the Capital.

Hinting at the joint mass assembly organised by 26 political parties including the Nepali Congress and CPN-UML and another assembly organised by Rastriya Prajatantra Party-Nepal the very next day, Chairman Dahal said: “The assembly is just small show. You can see the difference between their [the opposition political parties] singing and our whistling. Just imagine, how would it be if we really organised an assembly?”

The May 27 has separated those in favour of change those who are against it. He alleged that a “capitalist constitution” as desired by the NC and UML would not be drafted. Hinting towards Nepali Congress and CPN-UML leaders Dahal said that the uttra-feudalists did not let the constitution to be drafted.

Claiming that rumours about his alleged statements of Nepal Army are running wild in public, Dahal said that the Nepal Army had become a republican force. “How can the army be under a particular party,” Dahal questioned.

Speaking in a different context, Maoist Chairman Dahal said that there is no alternative to agreement. He urged the irate Maoist leaders and the opposition parties to work in unison with the government.
