KATHMANDU: Politburo member of Unified CPN (Maoist) Krishna Bahadur Mahara today said that the ruling parties were attempting to continue the government even covering the rising intra parties' conflict. Speaking at a programme organised on the occasion of fourth Sunil Memorial Day here today, Mahara said no agreement was reached between party chairman Pushpa Kamal Dahal ‘Prachanda' and Nepali Congress president Girija Prasad Koirala to topple the government during their meet in Singapore. "This is just a rumour spread by the coalition partners themselves to cover up the intra parties-feud", he claimed. Mahara who is also the chief of Maoist Foreign Department, said the Singapore meeting was focused only on the formation of the high-level political mechanism. "The news of ''seven-point agreement'' during the Singapore meeting disseminated widely in media are ‘baseless’ and ‘fabricated’, said Mahara. During the programme, he also praised the role of martyr Kim Bahadur Thapa '' Sunil'' for the development of the party. Mahara said UCPN-Maoist would not step back until their demand for civilian supremacy was fulfiled correcting the president''s unconstitutional move. Mahara said dreams of thousand of martyrs would not come true if civilian supremacy was not established. On the occasion, chief of the Maoists’ People's Liberation Army, Nanda Kishor Pun ''Pasang'', reminded that the then Maoist central committee member and commander of the PLA's 5th division Sunil was killed when the then Royal Nepal Army attacked from the helicopter while Sunil was on duty. Pasang promised that PLA would fight until the people and the nation were liberated. Sunil was born in Gajul VDC-2 of Rolpa district in 2018BS and was killed in 2062 in Jinabang of the district on the attack of the security force. The Maoists have decided to declare him a martyr.
