Democracy and Class Struggle publishes this report from speech of Chairman Prachanda by editing Nepali sources like Republica which are seeking to create conflict in the Maoist Party.There is an anti Maoist Media campaign in Nepal to distort this important meeting and we have to do out best not to fall into the trap created by our enemies.With this warning read the edited version of Prachanda's speech below.
Maoist Chairman Prachanda on Sunday said that his party cannot remain complacent with the political achievements made so far and that the ongoing plenum would chart a concrete policy to complete the revolution in Nepal.
"We cannot remain complacent. The course of the revolution must be taken ahead until we create a society free of all sorts of oppressions and realize the martyrs´ dream. We will not stop until we achieve peace and constitution as desired by the people,"said Prachanda addressing the sixth plenum that kicked off at Palungtar, Gorkha.
Prachanda has taken a centrist position between the two opposite lines floated by Senior Vice-chairman Mohan Baidya and Vice-chairman Dr Baburam Bhattarai respectively, and gave a long speech defending his own line.
In his speech, Prachanda stressed on four things: Safeguarding the political achievements made so far, charting the further course of revolution which he thinks is the continuous process, attacking the two lines floated by Baidya and Bhattarai respectively, and his leadership of the party.
Over 5,500 party cadres were seated as Prachanda continued his speech attacking ideological line of Baidya and of Bhattarai. While Baidya is for preparing grounds for an immediate revolt to seize state power. Bhattarai has pushed for the institutionalization of the political achievements made so far before taking another stride toward realizing the communist goal.
"Gorkha is a place where the party line of revisionism had received a blow in 1978. So we will get a new energy from the event against revisionism," Prachanda thundered
"We should ditch the mindset that republicanism, federalism, secularism and the agreement on social justice achieved through the force of the decade-long People´s War and the 19-day mass movement are nothing," he said .
The Maoist leader, however, said that the Nepali brand of revolution would be different from those seen in other countries.
"The method of revolution doesn´t repeat; it only evolves. The October Revolution was different from that used during the Paris Commune. So we won´t copy other countries´ models," said Prachanda.
In his speech, Prachanda repeatedly emphasized the importance of party unity and said that the enemies of people who are expecting splits in the Maoist party would be disappointed.
"Our party will emerge more vibrant and lively through the method of struggle, unity and transformation at the end of the meeting," Prachanda thundered.
He said he sees the country sliding into a deep crisis and called on the cadres to be ready to fight it and achieve victory. He accused other political parties of being involved in the conspiracy hatched by reactionaries against the Constituent Assembly (CA) and the peace process. The Maoist chairman also attacked foreign intervention in Nepal.
"The country´s own leadership should be able to decide the fate the country. But this has not been happening. So we will also chart the course of our struggle for national independence," he said.
Prachanda also defended his leadership of the party and said, "Ideology and leadership cannot be created overnight. It develops through the process of continuous transformation," he said.
