DOLAKHA, March 30: UCPN (Maoist) Vice-chairman Dr Baburam Bhattarai warned on Wednesday that the Maoist party could split if unnecessary restrictions are imposed on ideological debates in the party.



Addressing a function organized to mark the fourth anniversary of a community radio, Hamro FM, in Charikot, Dr Bhattarai also urged party cadres and others not to take his efforts to intensify ideological debates within the party as his attempt to split the party. [break]“Rice is cooked properly if air inside a pressure cooker is allowed out,” he said, adding: “Party can be strengthened only by incorporating the views of all.”



He also complained that he was being accused of trying to split the party just because he tried to hold ideological debate and discussions to strengthen the weakening democratic culture and internal democracy in the party.



Hinting at party chairman Pushpa Kamal Dahal, Dr Bhattarai said that this situation had occurred in the party as some leaders consider the party as their fiefdom.



Bhattarai also said that the weakening democratic culture and internal democracy in the Maoist party could seriously affect the ongoing peace process.
