KATHMANDU, JULY 20: Chairman of the ruling CPN (Maoist Center) Pushpa Kamal Dahal has said that the issue of party unity was discussed among the leaders of the secretariat of the then Communist Party of Nepal (CPN).

On Tuesday, a meeting was held at the office of the Parliamentary Party of the Maoist Center in Singha Darbar among the then CPN secretariat members Pushpa Kamal Dahal, Madhav Kumar Nepal, Jhala Nath Khanal, Bam Dev Gautam and Narayan Kaji Shrestha.

Dahal said that unity was discussed among like-minded people during the meeting. He mentioned that party unity was discussed and clarified that this unity was not against the ruling coalition.  

He said, “You know about our meeting. We are the majority members of the Secretariat of the CPN era. We had a meeting before as well. We had the second meeting today. In today's meeting, mainly all the parties have made their own decisions. The central committee meeting of Nepali Congress also ended yesterday. Their decision is to give continuity to the current ruling alliances. We discussed that too. We also discussed the decisions of UML. None of us disagree that this alliance should be maintained. But on the one hand, we are discussing how to make it effective, how to make it more effective by taking into account the experience of local elections. On the other hand, we are from the same party, the CPN, which existed in the past. Because of that, we are also discussing the possibility of unity among like-minded people. That is not against this alliance. We have discussed party integration.” 

Chairman Dahal said that no one has any objection to maintaining the alliance. He mentioned that the issue of making the alliance effective was also discussed.
