Maoist politburo meeting put off for a day

The politburo meeting of the Unified CPN (Maoist), which is going on for almost two weeks, has been put off till Monday due to the busy schedule of top leaders.

In the next meeting, party chairman Pushpa Kamal Dahal is to answer the queries and criticism on his political report.

The politburo meeting taking place at the office of Maoist sister organisations in Koteshwor has seen extensive debate on Dahal's 19-page report with Mohan Baidya-led hardliner faction criticising it for deviating from the policy of 'people's revolt' to establish 'people's republic'.

In the report, Dahal, who commands a slim majority in the politburo, has emphasised that the party's immediate priority should to form a 'national government' after compelling the new ruling coalition to rectify the President's constitutional move against the sacking of the army chief dismissed by the previous government. nepalnews.com June 28 09
