KATHMANDU, May 5: The Unified Communist Party of Nepal (Maoist) on Tuesday called the video tape that shows the party Chairman Pushpa Kamal Dahal making controversial statements a conspiracy tool. The Maoists say that the video was made to derail the ongoing peace process and to make the current critical political situation more provocative.



But the party has not yet refuted the contents of the video footage.



In a press statement, the party´s spokesperson Dina Nath Sharma said that the message in the video footage being aired in some television channels and in other media-- a video that Sharma deemed “irrelevant”-- was meant to give assurances to the party rank and file about the Constituent Assembly and the ongoing peace process.



"We are committed to the Comprehensive Peace Agreement. We are clear in our beliefs about army integration, about drafting a pro-people constitution and about our commitments expressed to the people," said the statement.



The party has also asked members of the ordinary public not to be swayed by the propaganda, which it says is aimed at derailing the ongoing peace process. It has also asked the media to not disseminate such provocative news and to uphold their social responsibility.
