Party strongman Comrade Prachanda issued a statement Friday saying unity amongst communist ranks was essential. Prachanda also said there was a need for a new communist party. He further added a call for unity without abandoning the principles of Maoism, Marxism and Leninism. Maoist calls for unity comes immediately after secret talks last week in West Bengal with representatives of communist parties in the parliament. The main opposition in parliament UML later issued a statement asking the Maoists to abandon demands for a republic, a constituent assembly and an interim government. The demands, the UML said, will be retrogressive. Talks between the government and the Maoists are also yet to materialize as Deuba's 10 day deadline for negotiations to end an insurgency that has claimed more than 1,800 lives in nearly six years nears. nepalnews.com be Aug.25 _________________________________________________ KOMINFORM P.O.
