No compromise on ethnicity-based federalism, says Dahal

UCPN (Maoist) chairman Pushpa Kamal Dahal

UCPN (Maoist) chairman Pushpa Kamal Dahal Sunday said that his party was stuck to its stance of ethnicity based federalism and the rumours that Maoist party was compromising on ethnic federalism were not true.

Talking to the representatives of Nepal Federation of Indigenous Nationalities (NEFIN) at his residence in Lazimpat, the Maoist chairman said that the rumours were parts of plot to sabotage the process of federalism.

He also claimed that the recent protests and clashes across the country were provoked by the anti-federal forces.

The Maoist party has prescribed single ethnicity based federalism in its state restructuring proposal. nepalnews.com
