Lahan, Jan 1: CPN (UML) leader and former Prime Minister Madhav Kumar Nepal has accused the Madhes-centric parties of hitting out at the UML for its hold and popularity in the Madhes.
Addressing a party cadres’ meeting at Kachandaha of Saptari district on Saturday, he claimed the UML could never be anti-Madhes as the Madhes is its bastion.
“Whether it is the peasants’ uprising against the Panchayat regime or the party’s big assemblies and conferences, these all took place in the Madhes,” he said, adding that how a party that has so much old ties with the Madhes be anti-Madhes.
Leader Nepal also reiterated that it was the UML alone that brought programmes for the benefit of the Madhesis and the indigenous nationalities.
Stating that the UML’s growing popularity has become a matter of concern for other parties including the Madhes-centric ones, he stressed on working in favour of the people rather than protests for earning popularity.
He referred to the different programmes as agreement on construction of the Postal Road, the people’s housing programme and providing land to 60 thousand landless squatters carried out by the UML. Leader Nepal also urged the party cadres not to be disoriented by the diatribes level at the UML by some parties. RSS
