Maoist leaders who started meeting at Maoist party headquarters in Paris Danda since early morning today approved, as expected, the political dossier of UCPN (Maoist) chairman Pushpa Kamal Dahal by majority votes. Dahal has in his political dossier emphasized the need to conclude the peace process and constitution-drafting to safeguard the political achievements made so far. Emerging from the meeting, senior Maoist leader Dev Gurung said that Dahal’s political dossier has been approved by majority votes. He said that party vice-chairman Mohan Baidya, who had tabled a separate proposal in the CC meet vigorously advocating the revolutionary path, filed a note of dissent against Dahal’s proposal. Gurung further said that the party’s CC meet also concluded that there’s no alternative left but to go for the second extension of the Constituent Assembly’s term since the May 28 deadline for promulgation of the new constitution is not likely to be met. He, however, said that the party is in favor of an integrated draft of the new constitution by May 28. On Thursday, leaders close to chairman Dahal had made attempts to convince Baidya to incorporate his opinions in Dahal's paper so that the CC would endorse a unified paper at the end. Maoist general secretary Ram Bahadur Thapa was one among other leaders to approach Baidya on Thursday. However, their attempts failed as Baidya remained firm in his decision. Even chairman Dahal requested Baidya to go for a unified document instead of registering the note of dissent. Leaders supporting Baidya had earlier accused the party leadership of ignoring his concerns and urged chairman Dahal to accept his views, saying it is not always wise for the party to sideline influential leaders. -- Peace Is Doable -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Green Youth Movement" group.
