Kakarbhitta, Mar. 9: CPN-ML general secretary Bamdev Gautam says that on the shoulders of the present Communist campaigners has devolved the task of materialising the dreams of those who were martyred while fighting against exploitation and oppression in the country.

Inaugurating the first Mechi town convention of the party at Dhulabari the other day, general secretary Gautam said the Nepalese people were assessing the ten years of rule after the restoration of democracy in the country.The Nepali Congress which remained in power for a longer period could not draw even a blue print for nation-building, nor could it chalk out a definite plan to deliver   the goods to the people, he alleged.

He also accused Nepali Congress government of unleashing terror on innocent and helpless people in the name of resolving the Maoist problem.

CPN-ML with its national perspective for the cause of the nation, nationality, territorial integrity of the nation, and Nepalese people, was marching on the path of liberation, but it came under the attack from extreme leftist activities and capitulationist policy, he said, adding that his party would lead a movement against exploitation and oppression.

Ex-minister and CPN-ML politburo member alleged that CPN-Maoist was heading towards terrorism, while CPN-UML was moving toward liquidationism.

He stressed that CPN-ML should muster its strength to start a people’s liberation movement right from jhapa, a venue which he called “noted for the communist struggle”.

CPN-ML Mechi town committee secretary Gopal Budhathoki presided over the convention.

Other speakers including its central member Yaman Kumar Gautam, Naresh Kharel, Narayan Subedi, its Dang unit secretary Susma Sharma, Mayor of Mechi town Rabin Koirala also expressed their views.

On the occasion, general secretary Gautam presented shawls a mark of honour to 33 dedicated workers who had made special contribution to the communist movement in Nepal.
