Kathmandu, April 24:

The Communist Party of Nepal (Maoist) today blamed the bourgeoisie nature and dictatorial functioning of the Nepali Congress for putting the peace process in serious danger.

Endorsing the 11-point decision of the parliamentary party meeting, the Maoists warned that the peace process might collapse if the NC didn’t mend its ways. The parliamentary party meeting of the Maoists condemned the NC for its dictatorial style of governance.

“We have called the Nepali Congress to immediately stop such activities,” lawmaker and central leader of the Maoists Suresh Ale Magar told this daily.

The meeting called the government to show courage by immediately announcing the date of the Constituent Assembly elections.

“We have also called the interim parliament to declare the country federal republican state by amending the interim constitution,” Ale Magar added. According to him, if the government did not make its stance clear on the elections to the Constituent Assembly and other Maoist demands they would stall the interim parliament’s proceedings.

“The parliament can forward our motion we have already registered for abolishing the monarchy by amending the interim constitution,” Ale Magar added.

The Maoists parliamentary party also condemned US ambassador James F Moriarty. “The American embassy showed its ugly face by refusing visa to Ale Magar. This is nothing but an

insult to the United Nations, the Swiss and the Nepal governments.” The Maoists claimed that the United Nations had invited Ale Magar to attend a programme on transitional justice in New York this week but he could not attend the same due to the visa denial by the US embassy.

The Maoist parliamentary party meeting also called the government to release all the Maoist detainees from across the country and to take initiatives to secure the release of their cadres from Indian and Chinese jails.

It also demanded a judicial commission to probe the Gaur massacre, to scrap the report of the Election Constituency Delimitation Commission and called the government to disclosed the whereabouts of the disappeared people.

Condemning the police raids on the Young Communist Leagues offices in the Kathmandu valley, the Maoists called the government to immediately stop such activities.
