He claimed that the government’s decision to return the seized land and property would not be implemented.[break]
“If the government stubbornly uses force then there will be resistance,” Baidya told journalists at Khajura, Banke.
He said the Maoist seized land, property and weapons during the insurgency at the cost of blood.
Baidya argued that alternative arrangements must be made for the families who are currently using the seized the land and property before returning the property to the owners.
He claimed that the Maoist central committee meeting never decided to return the seized land and hand over the keys of the arms containers.
“How can the Maoist-led government implement something which was not decided by the party’s central committee?” questioned Baidya.
He demanded that the government must correct its decision of handing over the keys of arms containers and returning the seized land.
Baidya opined that UCPN (Maoist) has arrived at a critical juncture. “So far, I have not had to speak publicly regarding the party’s decisions but now I feel forced to speak as the party is at a critical juncutre,” said Baidya.
He stated that rift within the Maoist party has come to surface. “Intra-party rift used to remain intra-mural but now it has spilled out in public,” added Baidya.
Baidya said his faction is not seeking an alternative to the present government rather it is trying to correct the government.
