CPN MC Chair Dahal says he proposed unity with UML

KATHMANDU: CPN Maoist Centre Chairman Pushpa Kamal Dahal has revealed that he was the one from the party to float the proposal of unity with the CPN-UML.
Addressing political orientation for the party’s politburo today, Dahal further informed that Vice-Chairman of UML Bam Dev Gautam brought forth the unity proposal and the parties reached the conclusion that they could be unified after forging electoral alliance.“We were aware that the socialist revolution could not be materialised with slow pace. UML was also for taking the leftist movement in a new way, thereby resulting in the formation of unity committee,” he shared before the party politburo members.
He also reminded that that several round of talks were held with UML leaders Madhav Kumar Nepal and Jhalanath Khanal for the unity between the Maoist and the UML.
Chairman Dahal further argued that only leftist polarisation could help people achievement their feat.
Current efforts for the unity, though doubted from various angles, would result in the welfare of Nepal and the Nepalis, he underscored.
Recalling that the party had received proposal from the CPN UML for an electoral alliance since the local level elections, he said the proposal could not be materalised as both parties failed to find a consensus on the matter of sharing equal seats in four metropolises.
He said they were in the mission of launching the revolution for socialism by bringing all communist forces scattered throughout the country together.
“The world Communist movement is in the defensive position. But the communist parties in Nepal have much public support and trust which should not be let die. The socialist revolution in Nepal is possible only by bringing Communists on different streams to a single board,” added Dahal.
According to him, the communist parties of Nepal have geared up for the unification with the dedication to go for the revolution for socialism.
“Three political parties have their own assumptions, beliefs and perceptions. Unity is not possible by standing on them. We ourselves in the process of transformation and a new message can be send to the world only by transforming the communist movement and the entire nation,” Dahal said during orientation.
Also speaking on the occasion, Maoist Center leader Narayan Kaji Shrestha said the alliance among the communist parties capable of serving the interest of the nation.
Communist parties dividing into small groups could never achieve the goal of socialism. There was no alternative for them to uniting to meet the goal. The leftist unity and collaboration was in the interest of the nation and people and it needed guts to implement it.
Another leader Ram Bahadur Thapa said the leftist alliance was not for losing self existence by the CPN UML) and CPN MC as rumoured outside. “Instead, it is for building new principles for revolution and forming a new political party by rising above self perceptions and assumptions.”
Krishna Bahadur Mahara, Dev Gurung, Barshaman Gurung, Matrika Yadav, Pampha Bhusal, Lekhraj Bhatta and Hitman Shakya said that leaders were expected to take risk to change the face of the nation and living standard of the people.

‘Clean India’ mission not ending manual scavenging, activists say

MUMBAI:  A flagship government program to modernise India’s sanitation has failed to tackle the practice of low caste women clearing faeces by hand, and has even exacerbated the problem by building toilets not connected to water supplies, campaigners say. Prime Minister Narendra Modi launched the Swachh Bharat Abhiyan, or Clean India Mission, with much fanfare after he took office in 2014, sweeping a Delhi street with a broom. Since then, thousands of toilets have been built across the country.But Dalit communities, especially women, are still forced to be manual scavengers, a euphemism for clearing faeces from dry toilets and open drains by hand, despite laws to end the practice. The workers have it harder now, activists said. “Swachh Bharat has diverted attention from ending manual scavenging, and makes it seem like the whole country is cleaning. But if that’s the case, then why are people still dying in septic tanks,” said activist Bezwada Wilson. “There is also no dis...

Cahill scores extra-time winner to keep Australia alive

SYDNEY:  Tim Cahill scored twice, including the extra-time winner, as Australia kept their World Cup hopes alive with a 2-1 victory over Syria in the second leg of the Asian playoff on Tuesday. The 3-2 aggregate victory sent the Socceroos into an intercontinental playoff in November against the fourth-placed team in North and Central America and Caribbean (CONCACAF) qualifying with a World Cup spot on the line.Cahill scored Australia’s opener with a trademark header in the 13th minute but it was not until 96 minutes later that he kept his country on course for a fourth successive appearance at the World Cup finals with his 50th international goal. Syria made the perfect start when Omar Al Somah scored in the sixth minute to cancel out Australia’s away-goal advantage from the 1-1 first-leg draw but the war-torn nation’s dreams of securing a maiden World Cup appearance were dashed.

India’s bullet train project re-ignites debate on land for ‘public purpose’

MUMBAI:  Plans for India’s first bullet train, a $17-billion-dollar project, have sparked a debate on the definition of “public purpose” for land acquisitions which have become increasingly contentious. The 500-km- (310-mile-) long high-speed rail link promises to cut travel time between the financial hub of Mumbai and the industrial city of Ahmedabad in Gujarat state by more than half to under three hours. The project, inaugurated earlier this month, will need about 825 hectares (2,000 acres) of land. The government has said it will complete the line by 2022, even as farmers along the proposed route held protests against giving up their land. They may have little say in the matter, as the state has a legal right to take private property for public purposes. But analysts say the definition of what constitutes public purpose needs revisiting, even for infrastructure projects. “When projects – airports, private colleges, bullet trains – benefit only a small percentage of ...
