Last Updated: Fri, 02.09.11 16:36 Dahal hits back at Baidya; says his posture on PLA keys handover violates party policy UCPN (Maoist) chairman Pushpa Kamal Dahal said Friday that vice chairman Mohan Baidya’s objection to the decision to hand over the keys of the weapons containers to the Army Integration Special Committee (AISC) is against the party’s policy. “Vice chairman Baidya's statement is against the party policy as well as the party’s previous decision. The party is saddened by his statement and urges the party leaders, cadres, People’s Liberation Army and the general people not go after his statement,” Dahal said in a statement. Dahal also urged the party workers, PLA members and the general public not to be provoked by Baidya’s posturing and urged them to show patience and courage in support of the party’s official decision. Dahal’s statement came after the hardliner Baidya faction publicly opposed the handover of the keys of weapons containers to the AISC on Thursday. The Baidya faction obstructed the vehicular movement in the capital and elsewhere around the country for one hour in protest against the handover of the container keys.
