KATHMANDU: Pushpa Kamal Dahal, also known as Prachanda, Chairman of the Maoist Center, has urged Nepal's communist revolutionary factions to unite.
In a statement released on Thursday, marking the birth anniversary of Chinese communist leader Mao Zedong, Prachanda stressed the importance of drawing inspiration from Mao's ideology and practices.
He emphasized that it is crucial for Nepal's communist forces to come together for study, research, and practical efforts in order to build a socialism tailored to Nepal's context, influenced by Mao's thoughts.
Prachanda also pointed out that his campaign for good governance, social justice, and prosperity—launched during his time in office—aligns with the strategy of constructing socialism adapted to Nepal's unique conditions.
"We are currently in a struggle to complete Nepal’s democratic revolution, based on our own distinctiveness, and to lay the groundwork for socialism," he stated.
"The campaign for good governance, social justice, and prosperity, which we initiated while in government, was a concrete step in implementing this political vision. Our party remains committed to advancing it both in the legislature and on the streets."
