A delegation of the Communist Party of China (CPC) on Sunday met Nepali Prime Minister Prachanda

KATHMANDU, Feb. 15 (Xinhua) -- A delegation of the Communist Party of China (CPC) on Sunday met Nepali Prime Minister Prachanda at the latter's official residence in Nepali capital Kathmandu.

Prime Minister and Chairman of the Unified Communist Party of Nepal (Maoist) Prachanda has committed that all types of anti-China activities taking place on Nepal's soil would be controlled.

Reiterating one-China policy Nepal has adopted since many years ago, he said Nepal's land had never been used against China in the past and nor this will happen in future.

Liu Hongcai, deputy head of the International Department of the CPC Central Committee and chief of the delegation, said China was grateful for Nepal's precious and persistent support and cooperation in Tibet, Taiwan and human rights issues.

China believes the Nepali government will stick to its rightful stand, and effectively prevent any anti-China activities in Nepal,Liu said.

Prachanda also said that Nepali government and political parties are devoted to bringing the ongoing peace process to a logical end through negotiation, dialogue and cooperation.

Liu said, as Nepal's sound friend and good neighbor, China wishes Nepal to be stable and peaceful, achieving prosperity and development at an early date.

Both sides discussed on the traditional friendly relations and expressed the willingness to consolidate and develop the existing friendship so as to benefit both the peoples.

Liu Hongcai, as a representative of the CPC, came to Nepal to attend the eighth congress of the Communist Party of Nepal (Unified Marxist-Leninist) at the invitation of the latter.

The delegation kicked off the tour to three South Asian nations-- Nepal, Bangladesh and Pakistan on Saturday. Liu and his delegation will also pay goodwill visits to Bangladesh and Pakistan at the invitation of Bangladesh Awami League and Pakistan People's Party.

Mohan Baidya Sunday said that the exit of leader Matrika Yadav does not make any difference to the party.

Senior Unified CPN (Maoist) leader Mohan Baidya Sunday said that the exit of leader Matrika Yadav does not make any difference to the party.

The remarks of Baidya came in the wake of increasing possibility of the loss of Maoist grip in Madhesh with the departure of leader Yadav, who hails from southern belt Madhesh, from the party.

Leader Baidya said that Yadav would be allowed to rejoin if he comes back after correcting himself, though the party purged him on discipline ground.
Talking to journalists at the party headquarters in Buddhanagar today, Baidya, who is the ideologue and leads the hardliners within the party, made it clear that anyone who wants to quit the party are free to do so as there is ideological freedom in the party.

More than 100 leaders and activists of the Unified CPN (Maoist) defected to the CPN (Maoist) reconstituted and headed by Matrika Yadav on Saturday.
The defectors include Bhojpura State Committee member Indal Rai Yadav, central committee member of the Tharuwan Mukti Morcha Palat Chaudhary and central committee member of the Madheshi Rastriya Mukti Morcha Jayram Yadav.

Regional coordinator of the Young Communist League (YCL) Surendra Sahani and YCL district office secretary Binay Patel also joined the Yadav-led outfit.

After quitting the Unified Maoist, the defectors accused the Unified CPN (Maoist) of being an anti-Madhesh party.

Stating that he was never associated with the Unified CPN (Maoist), Matrika Yadav had said in Kathmandu on Feb. 11 that he was still loyal to the old Maoist party and wanted to give it “a new lease of life”.

Prachanda instructs Maoist Party to stay on alert

Prime Minister and Chairman of Unified CPN (Maoist) Prachanda has instructed his party cadres to stay alert for another revolution, on Saturday.

Addressing a function organised by All Nepal Trade Union Federation (ANTUF – affiliated to Maoists) in Lalitpur, Dahal said the party will not always be engaged in the peace process. "The constitution-drafting process will not last forever, we should seriously prepare ourselves for the next situation," said Dahal.

Dahal opined that while many communist movements in the world failed because they could not recognise the need of the hour, Maoists in Nepal understood the situation and acted accordingly. He said, his party would now take the revolution into new heights against colonial forces

Nepal's UCPN-M army to become national army soon

KATHMANDU, Feb. 13 (Xinhua) -- Prime Minister and Chairman of Unified Communist Party of Nepal (Maoist) Prachanda has said that the People's Liberation Army (PLA) would not remain under the party from now onwards, The Rising Nepal reported on Friday.

Addressing a function organized at the 4th division of the PLA cantonment at Hattikhor, some 160 km west of Kathmandu, to mark the 14th anniversary of "the People's War" and 8th anniversary of the formation of the PLA on Thursday, Prachanda stated the Army Integration Special Committee (AISC) had already taken up the responsibility to look after the PLA.

He said that all the PLA commanders and soldiers had to abide without any grudges by the decision of the AISC.

He said that the Integration of the PLA would be as stated in the interim constitution.

Prachanda, who had been the supreme commander of the PLA before he was elected to the premiership, said that he was present in the function as the first Prime inister of federal democratic republic of Nepal and urged the PLA to act esponsibly for peace and progress

Matrika Yadav has quit the Maoist Party

Matrika Yadav is known for his short temper. He is a central committee member of the party of the ex-rebels. Matrika's contributions that he extended to the Maoists party-now the ruling one-in its formative days are immense and commendable.

Now Matrika is himself a rebellion. He has quit the party for good.

But why he abandoned the party he served for decades? What could have been the prime reason that encouraged him to declare in a some what angered mood that he remains no longer the CC member of the Maoists party?

These are some questions that demand plausible answers.

A section of the Biratnagar analysts while talking the telegraphnepal. com said that Matrika's out right resignation from the mother party was nothing more than a political stunt.

Yet others, some somber analysts, claim that Matrika was talking sense and he means business this time around.

Matrika's allegations are valid in the sense that his former party is functioning on a whimsical basis. No discipline is demanded nor one cares for the prevalence of the discipline that is demanded of a dogmatic party of the sort of the Maoists.

He claims that favoritism and nepotism has engulfed the party tip to toe. He adds, the party has abandoned the basic premises and forgotten the chartered objectives for which the party came into existence.

However, he says, "Unless the issues and concerns of the exploited ones from both the Madhesh and the Pahadi community not addressed, the state will remain hostage to such issues and problems for long time to come".

In effect, he is talking sense in that he is the first ever Madhesi leader who has championed the case even those of the Pahadiyas.

Whether his love and honor for the Pahadiya community is a genuine one or is otherwise will come to the open in the days ahead.

"I have now quit the Maoists party for good", is what said a beaming Matrika yesterday February 11, 2009, in Kathmandu while talking to the pressmen.

The Himalayan allegation he has labeled upon his former party is that, according to him, the Maoists must not have embraced the Unity center led by Comrade PRAKASH.

If one were to believe what Matrika says of the Unity center then one is forced to understand that the Center led by Prakash which has recently merged itself into the mainstream Maoists party is a party that has abundant hatred towards the Maoists.

Another Himalayan allegation is that, he claims, his former party "abandoned its revolutionary character and has been entrapped in the whirlpool of the parliamentary parties and practices".

Matrika's anger can be gauged from his blunt declaration wherein he says, "I will tender my resignation from the Constituent Assembly membership in a day or two".
To recall, Mr. Yadav was nominated to the CA from the proportional representation system.

Now that Matrika has left his mother party and has, as per his claim, "restructured the Maoists party" , what remains to be seen is how the two high ranking Maoists leaders, Rabindra Shrestha and Mani Thapa, take this fresh initiative.

By the way, Mr. Shrestha has already entered the UML. Thapa is thus an open card who can fit into Matrika's scheme, if the former so desired.

It will be more than interesting if Matrika's "restructured" party forms an alliance with the newly floated "Left Revolutionary Wing".

If the said Wing gets associated with Matrika's new political entity then understandably, the nation will have yet another militant outfit which will definitely rock the nation.

The political jolt will be felt soon if the Tarai militant outfits too extend their helping hands to Matrika.

But then the Himalayan wonder has been that Matrika has announced the formation of his party upon the completion of his fresh China visit.

Matrika Yadav Rebels Against UCPN-Maoist

THT Online
Kathmandu, February 12

Matrika Yadav, one of the politburo members of the Unified CPN-Maoist, on Wednesday announced that he would retain CPN-Maoist as Unified CPN-M led by Prachanda had turned into a "revisionist" and "reformist" force.

He said he would give continuity to the revolutionary spirit of the CPN-Maoist that waged the People's War to overthrow the feudal monarchy. Yadav also accused the Unified CPN-Maoist of deviating from the revolutionary spirit and reaching compromises with compradors. He said he would also quit the Constituent Assembly.

He was nominated to the CA by the then CPN-Maoist under the party's PR seats. He was also appointed Minister for Land Reforms and Management in Prachanda's cabinet after the CA polls. He was forced to resign as the minister over the land-grab controversy in Siraha.

"I will reorganise the party in a new spirit, accommodating all revolutionary cadres," Yadav told a packed press conference here on Wednesday.

He accused the party leadership of bringing non-Maoists, opportunists and comfort-seekers into the party in the name of unification with the CPN-Unity Centre Masal. He had opposed the unification during the national-level cadres' meet held in Kharipati about two months ago.

Addressing the press meet, he said the Prachanda-led party did not address the plights of martyrs who sacrificed their lives during the People's War; tried to dissolve the People's Liberation Army, which was instrumental in pulling down the monarchy; resorted to class reconciliation and gave more importance to the government instead of people's movement.

"The party also bowed down to the pressure of the parliamentary forces and agreed to return the land captured by the peasants and landless people during the conflict," Yadav said.

He said the Unified CPN-Maoist was plagued by corruption, commission and was promoting a culture of nepotism in the party rank and file.

"I will dedicate myself to build a national-level communist party," Yadav said, adding: "National unity will not strengthen unless there is reconciliation between the people of Madhes and hill. There should be a strong communist party in the Madhes as well." He also claimed that other Madhes-based parties were serving vested interests of foreign elements and landlords in the Tarai-Madhes.

"Prachanda's wrong policy led to the mushrooming of regional Madhesi parties who represent the landlords," he alleged. He also said Prachanda was receptive to all views during the People's War but had stopped listening to dissident views after he came to power.

On the demand of a single autonomy to entire Madhes, Yadav said the issue should be resolved by the people themselves. "First, there must be a clear definition of Madhes and then we should decide on the number of federal states," he said.

Asked whether the People' Liberation Army of the Unified CPN-Maoist would also support his cause, Yadav said the true revolutionary PLA fighters would join his fold.

He said he would also approach Jay Krishna Goit to join his party. He hoped that the dissident cadres of the Unified CPN-Maoist would join his party to maintain the party's revolutionary spirit. He also said the central committee of the new-found party would be announced soon

Unified Communist Party of Nepal (Maoist)
Central Commitee

We salute the 14th anniversary of People's War.

We salute the struggling Nepalese people and masses that under the
leadership of your party celebrate this glorious anniversary in Kathmandu.

The People's War in Nepal has represented a shining beacon for the
proletariat and oppressed peoples of the world, it has affirmed the force of
Maoism and of the communist party based on Maoism, as apt instruments to guide the people toward rebellion and liberation.

People's War in Nepal has showed the fact that Mao's paved way and a
Marxist-Leninist- Maoist party can effectively be the winning way for
proletarians and peoples worldwide to overturn imperialism and the
reactionary regimes to its service, to build a new power, to realize a New
Democratic Republic and march toward socialism and communism.

The ten years of people's war have demonstrate that this is necessary and
possible and we can advance and win.

The Nepalese revolution has intertwined the people's war with the political
struggle on all fronts to accomplish its aims.

The Nepalese popular masses have supported this way, giving to the Communist Party of Nepal (Maoist) the victory in the elections and the leadership of the coalition government.

Along this path we have acquired more lessons and enrichment in the science of proletarian revolution and in the application of Marxism-Leninism- Maoism in the concrete reality of each country.

The Nepalese revolution has pointed out the importance of tactics to assert the strategy.

In the last periods of its development the Nepalese revolution faces
external and inner enemies that want to stop the wheel of history, reverse
the obtained achievements and impede the accomplishment of the new
democratic revolution.

In this context it is right and necessary the unity of the revolutionary
pole of the Nepalese people to fight back the forces of counterrevolution.
The decisive aspect in constructing the revolutionary pole is that of
fighting against the revisionism which is still the principal inner enemy of
the communist movement on national and international scale.

This anniversary is the appropriate occasion to celebrate and reaffirm that
people's war in all its forms is the only way that can lead the proletariat
and peoples to victory against imperialism and reaction, that only an
authentic communist party based on Maoism applied to the concrete reality is the necessary guide.

If the Nepalese revolution will advance in the wake of these principles and
verified experiences, the victory will be sure. And this will serve the new
wave of world proletarian revolution that must assert itself against the
imperialism in crisis.

Long live the 14th anniversary of the heroic people's war!

Long live Marxism-Leninism- Maoism!

Long live proletarian internationalism!

With Nepalese proletariat and Nepalese people till victory!
