Communist Party of Nepal (Maoist)
Central CommitteePress Statement
Today, the Nepalese society has arrived at a very sensitive crossroad in its
political history. The feudal autocracy that by challenging Nepalese people�s
aspiration of achieving full democracy has come to the fore through the
so-called royal proclamation is being opposed everywhere. But, the feudal
elements that have come up for their last battle of existence are busy in
exhibiting drama of conciliation, gift, punishment and intrigue against people
under the leadership of autocratic monarchy. Feudal ringleaders, who have
already staged the artless drama of repeating 1960, are now playing the same
old game of dividing and repressing political parties. The Nepalese people, who
were enduring the dirty game of feudal palace since 55 years, will never be
deluded from this. On the contrary, the great Nepalese people of the
twenty-first century will advance unitedly ahead with full determination of
accomplishing the necessity of democratic revolution, the overdue since 1950.
It is sure
that the feudal elements that by closing all the doors of peaceful and
forward-looking way out have adventured to push the wheel of history back with
the strength of terror of royal army sustaining with foreign aid will be thrown
out into the garbage of history.
Taking seriously into consideration the political sensitivity of the country,
our party has been very responsibly emphasizing on the necessity to advance
ahead against the feudal autocracy by establishing a broad front of all the
political parties, civil societies and intelligentsia. Taking lesson from the
bitter experiences of the past, it is urgently necessary to build up, first of
all, a concrete understanding among the political parties to unite the broad
masses. In this context, our party would like to clarify its preparedness for
the sacrifice necessary from our part through this statement. Declaring not to
obstruct all political parties that are against feudal autocracy rather to help
conduct political activities in any part of the country without any hindrance,
our party thinks necessary to go ahead by carrying out criticism and
self-criticism among the political parties and maintaining unity in a new
basis; and also wants to clarify its preparedness for that. In addition to
this, we would like to request humbly all the political parties in and outside
of the country not to have any doubt in our party�s declared policy of
Constituent Assembly and multiparty democratic republic.
It is known to all that our party had carried out countrywide wheel-jam and
blockade as an immediate protest against the so-called royal proclamation.
Being responsible to the people, we had suspended that program after 15 days.
In that very context, challenging the feudal elements to revoke their
totalitarian step, we had also clarified that we could declare a higher level
of program of struggle if not complied with that. But the authoritarian
elements taking it not as a way out are now adventuring to save their existence
through killings, terror, Pancha-rallies and stupid propaganda. In such a
situation, our party heartily appeals the masses of the people of all levels
and sects including workers, peasants, women, students, teachers, professors,
doctors, lawyers and journalists to create a storm of movement in favor of full
democracy and against autocracy. For this, our party, along with strikes,
wheel-jam, shutdown and blockade in the local and regional level, declares a
program
of countrywide mass mobilization and military resistance from March 14 to
April 1 and a countrywide general shutdown (Nepal Bandh) from April 2 to April
22 on the occasion of the historic mass movement day in 1990. Our party
heartily appeals the broad masses of the people again to make this program of
struggle a success and let the absolute feudal elements, which are trying to
push the country back towards medieval era, know people�s strength.
