Addressing a mass meeting organized on the occasion of International Labor Day at Tundikhel Friday, Dr Bhattarai warned President Dr Ram Baran Yadav against intervening in the government´s move to take action against the army chief.
“You (president) should remain cautious. Otherwise you will meet the fate as former king Gyanendra,” he warned.
He said his party will revolt through the government, parliament and the streets if the president tries to misinterpret his ceremonial position and obstruct the government´s move.
Stating that the Maoists do not mistrust the entire Nepal army as an institution, he said, “The army has performed commendable work like building roads in remote areas.”
Dr Bhattarai, during the program, levelled heavy criticism against the Communist Party of Nepal (Unified Marxist-Leninist), a major partner in the current coalition government.
“UML always loves to stand between right and wrong, good and bad and dark and light,” he said, adding, “But my third gender UML friends, clarify your gender.”
He charged that the UML always points out problems but fails to provide any solution.
He claimed that his party will go ahead alone in sacking the army chief even if the UML doesn´t extend its support.
