Singh welcomes split in PFN

General Secretary of the CPN (Unity-Centre Mashal), Mohan Bikram Singh, welcomed the decision of the dissident faction of People’s Front Nepal (PFN) to severe ties with its leadership.

A faction led by PFN lawmaker Chitra Bahadur KC held a political meeting on May 26-27 in Butwal where a decision was taken to severe ties with the party led by Amik Sherchan expressing dissatisfaction over the party line adopted by the establishment side and the decision to join the coalition government.

Singh also welcomed the faction’s decision to oppose Clause 3 of the 12-point understanding with the Maoists, which aims to place the Maoist and the government armies under the supervision of the UN or any other dependable international agency.

In a press statement, Singh, however, welcomed the ceasefire code of conduct between the government and the Maoists and said that there would be no more mayhem, violence and terror in the country.

He opposed protests against the parliament decision to declare the country as a secular state. nepalnews.com pb June 02 06
