KATHMANDU, AUGUST 5

CPN-Maoist Centre Deputy General Secretary Barsha Man Pun has said that all should back the government for its pro-people interventions.

Speaking on the political and organisational document presented by party Chairman and Prime Minister Pushpa Kamal Dahal on 'present context and major mandate of the party' in the ongoing fourth extended central committee meeting of the party, Pun said the government had made good beginning and support of all was needed to ensure results.

"We have to support and welcome the steps taken against corruption. This is also a cleansing of the country, society and party. We have to get ready if this initiative demands sacrifices on our part. We firmly support the initiative of Prime Minister and party Chairman," according to deputy general secretary Pun.

On the occasion, he said there were historical possibilities for party rebuilding and the party should be transformed and the party should be shifted to best suit the digital age.

Deputy General Secretary Punsaid the government was the main front of the party at present and added that the forms of class struggle and political struggle had changed.

On the party's issues, leader Pun said that working style was more important than the ideological issue and it should be addressed from the statute conference.

"Let's opt for process to prepare upcoming leadership. Currently, no one has sought alternative to the chairman. I am ready to give all-out support to the chairman," Pun added.

Likewise, another Deputy General Secretary Janardan Sharma said he fully supported the party's move to maintain good-governance.

He said that he had been raising the issue of running the party in a systematic way since long and expressed regret that it was described as non-cooperation to the party chairman.

The party should be linked to the people and the party's organisation should be taken to production and the party should take initiatives for economic development, poverty alleviation, employment creation and self-sufficiency by best utilisation of natural resources available in the country.
