Kathmandu, Nov 4: The Unified CPN (Maoist) has expelled its five leaders from the party charging them of involvement in anti-party activities in the name of creating a ‘new political force’.
A Standing Committee meeting of the party held at the party chairman Pushpa Kamal Dahal’s residence at Lazimpat today decided to expel these leaders from the party’s general membership for carrying out activities against the party’s interests and breach of discipline.
Leaders facing expulsion for carrying out activities against the party’s policy and principles include Ram Chandra Jha, Ram Rijhan Yadav, Mahendra Paswan, Ram Kumar Sharma and Ganga Narayan Shrestha, party spokesman Dinanath Sharma said.
The Standing Committee (SC) meeting also decided to seek clarification from the SC members Devendra Poudel and Hisila Yami, who on Tuesday registered an application at the party central office seeking permission to take part in the debate regarding forming the new force.
Likewise, the UCPN (Maoist) asserted that anyone involving in activities against the party in the name of building a new force at a time when unity was needed the most when India has continued with its undeclared border blockade on Nepal following the promulgation of the Constitution and the life of the people has become agonizing, would face action.
On Tuesday alone 45 UCPN (Maoist) leaders had submitted applications at the party central office seeking permission from the party for them to participate in the debate on formation of a new political force.
The Standing Committee meeting also stressed on immediately resolving the problem through diplomatic initiation as the situation in the country was becoming critical in the aftermath of India’s undeclared blockade. RSS
