Kathmandu, 23 Nov. 23: General Secretary of the UCPN (Maoist) Ram Bahadur Thapa has said party can split if efforts were not made to reconcile of the ideological disagreement within the party, RSS reports from Itahari .
General Secretary Thapa said this after imparting training to leaders and workers of the Baidya faction in Dharan of Sunsari.
The training was run within strong security. Even the press was not allowed in the training, where Thapa said the establishment faction’s activities were against the party policies of the war time and that they had been opposing it, said one participant.
If efforts are not made to seek consensus on basic issues by top leaders, the party can split, he said, adding there will be no rationale of sticking in the party.
“We are not out to split the party, but to convince on the reality to the party workers”, he said.
Chairman Pushpa Kamal Dahal and Prime Minister Dr. Baburam Bhattarai have been moving ahead against the party policies and course of action, he said, adding the main objective is to inform about this all.
He also said PLA was not of those seeking jobs but was of fighters who fought for the liberation of the Nepali people and it will be wrong that all fighters will be integrated in the army.
Thapa said one should not imagine of returning land unless the Nepali farmers and tillers are made owners of land through revolutionary land reform.
The Maoist General Secretary also warned that there will be a possibility of revolutionary leaders and workers going for people’s war if the present party leadership continued with reactionary decisions one after another.
We believe that the proletariat will aid the rebellion if the constitution does not come in their favor, said Thapa.
