Chairperson of the ruling CPN Pushpa Kamal Dahal has called on the students and youths to retaliate against anarchic and reactionary tendencies directed against the democratic republic.
Addressing the fifth memorial day function of party leader Posta Bahadur Bogati at the party central office in Dhumrabarahi Monday, he said, "We are in process of creating the foundation for socialism through the process of prosperity and development. The unified party has also declared the same thing. However, this task is very challenging. Capitalists and imperialists have surrounded from all sides. We also have individualistic and self-centered tendency among us. But let no one have the illusion that the democratic republic that has been secured through seven-decade struggle can be finished off in its infancy."
The party chair said that although a sense of desperation is seen among those creating anarchy, it was necessary to resolve to move ahead on the socialism-oriented journey by defending the political change. He urged the students and the youths to be alert against the anarchists and retaliate against them.
"It is impossible to block the sun with one's hands. To do so would only be a futile effort. Let us all work toward protecting the achievements obtained through the movement and toward the campaign of making the party a center of faith which can win the confidence of the general public, in a disciplined and responsible manner," Dahal exhorted.
He said the then Maoists used to assign the leader Bogati wherever there was a challenging situation and the late Bogati also consistently supported the party's main leadership and policy.
Senior leader of the party Jhalanath Khanal recalled how Bogati was a dedicated and sincere leader who could build cordial relations with other parties as well. He added that recalling Bogati's such personality and moving ahead in the right direction was the main responsibility of the party at present.
CPN Spokesperson Narayan Kaji Shrestha, general secretary Bishnu Poudel, leader Amik Sherchan, among the party leaders paid tributes to tBogati on the occasion.
Leader of the then CPN (Maoist Center) and former minister Bogati was a former lawmaker elected from Nuwakot. He died on September 14, 2014. (
