Central Committee
Press Release
Discarded by democracy and peace loving people, the charade of the so-called municipal election, the apex of medieval feudal arrogance, has now become an affair of amusement for the civilized world. As a result of active initiative of our party, seven political parties, civil societies and the entire democracy loving masses, the question of becoming a candidate or voting in the so-called municipal election has become in itself a matter of disgrace and stain. The great success of general shutdown organized by our party has already elucidated that people’s opinion is against the election said to be held tomorrow. As the latest link of military resistance, dozens of so-called security personnel have been killed in the victorious and daring attacks taken place at Panauti in Kavre, at Gaighat in Udayapur and around Nepalgunj in Banke, while the PLA has taken over dozens of weapons, including LMG, SLR and thousands of ammunition. In this situation, our party makes a last and special appeal to the entire city masses not to embarrass and stain one by being linked in any way with the so-called election, to realize the feudal ego, but to boost, along with total boycott, the movement for democracy and peace up to a new height. Also, exclusive of a decisive struggle against the feudal autocrats, we have not seen any possibility in Nepal of people’s aspiration of democracy and peace being fulfilled. In the present situation, when the feudal elements have reached at the verge of total collapse and masses at the dawn of democratic republic, our party again heartily appeals the seven political parties, civil societies, entire pro-people forces and the broad masses to firmly go forward unitedly along a decisive impetuous struggle, not any dialogue and compromise.
