Kathmandu, Mar. 15:Leaders of three small communist parties today said that they would soon take initiatives to “polarise” Nepal’s communist movement that had split into three different currents.

“In order to make Nepal’s communist movement truly Marxist and revolutionary, we have to save it from the extreme rights who believe parliamentary process and the extreme leftists who have taken a course of violence in the name of so-called people’s war,” Parliamentarian Lilamani Pokharel of United People’s Front (UPF), Parliamentarian Navaraj Subedi of National People’s Front (NPF) and Hari Roka of Communist Party of Nepal — Marxist Leninist today jointly announced at a press meet today. “Both of the extreme currents that have recently surfaced in this movement are against the communist norms.”

The polarisation of communist movement is necessary and possible, they said.

They said that they would organise a seminar next week, which would contribute to the construction of a unified communist party. “We have formed an organising committee under the co-ordination of Roka to conduct the seminar which we hope will be participated in by all the true communist parties who believe in people’s movement.”
