LALITPUR: UCPN-Maoist Chairman Pushpa Kamal Dahal has said that the country's own means and resources should be utilised in the post-quake reconstruction campaign. At a programme organised to hand over temporary classrooms of the Badikhel-based Pathpradashak Secondary School in Lalitpur on Saturday, Dahal said rejuvenation and reconstruction campaign should be conducted on our own zeal and skill, and should exhibit our capacity. The Maoist party's National Labour Campaign had constructed the classrooms. He also said that the support to be provided by India, China and other international donors should be taken based on our necessity and priority. The former Prime Minister said that the sorrow and grief caused due to the disaster should be converted into an opportunity for national strength. 'An opportunity has come to maintain new national unity. This further strengthens national unity of all Nepalis,' Dahal said. Saying that this is time for bringing constitution by forging consensus among the major political parties, Dahal added the UCPN-Maoist is not in the campaign to change just the Prime Minister. Total 12 classrooms were built by the UCPN-Maoist leader Shakti Bahadur Basnet-led team.
