Dahal calls for unity among progressive leftist forces in Nepal

Nepal's UCPN-Maoist chairman Pushpa Kamal Dahal has called for unity among all revolutionary, patriotic and change-seeking forces in the country.

Dahal, who was speaking at a programme held on the occasion of Nepal Communist Party (NCP) anniversary and the then Soviet Union's powerful leader Vladimir Lenin's 146th birth anniversary, emphasized that today's prime necessity was to see unity and polarisation among the entire revolutionary communists and progressive leftist forces in the country.

He added this day will instill motivation in us to take steps forward on the path of socialist revolution by completing the remaining workload of the revolution of people's democracy.

Dahal said the Nepal Communist Party was established 67 years ago in 1949 coinciding with Lenin's birth anniversary and added that the communist uprising in the country was advancing through a tortuous path by making noteworthy contribution in nation's political and social transformation.

Dahal further asserted that communist uprising was rooted at the centre of national politics today following the people's war and people's uprising, the Himalayan Times reports.

The UCPN-Maoist chairman said that the uprising, which grew on the foundation of the people's war, ended the royal institution and secured political achievements as republic, secularism, federalism and inclusiveness through the Constituent Assembly (CA).
