A former assistant-minister and Nepali Congress central member Hari Shanker Pariyar has joined the Unified CPN (Maoist) party on Thursday.

Maoist Chairman Pushpa Kamal Dahal welcomed the former assistant minister including former District Education Officer Bal Bahadur Pariyar, former regional member of Nepal Peasants' and Workers' Party Chakraman Biswokarma and UML's Lal Bahadur Pariyar and Kamal Raj Luintel into the party in a ceremony organized at the party headquarters, Paris Danda today.

Dahal assured the new entrants that they will be given responsibilities as per their  capabilities inside the party. He also praised the sacrifice made by the Dalit community during the insurgency period.

"However, the Dalit community have still not been liberated from the age-old oppression and the struggle (to free them) is still on," Dahal said.

Speaking at the ceremony, former minister Pariyar recounted the bitter experiences of the discriminations he faced in the village even though he was a chairman of the District Development Committee.

"Not only are we poor, we have to bear the stigma of being untouchables too," he said, and reminded everyone that it was because of the Maoists that for the first time in Nepal's history 50 Dalits became members of the Constituent Assembly. nepalnews.com

I think the former minister and other Dalit leaders made the right choice by
going into the Maoist party. There are very few leaders inside NC who are
interested in Dalit liberation, whereas UML is the party without no clear
agenda. This is the fact, Pradip Giri, one of the NC leader sympathetic to Dalit
issues, pointed out this fact in his article in kantipur a week ago. Now, that
would be nice if these leaders could fight without any political affiliation,
but Dallit organizations are not that powerful yet to fight alone, they have to
go through some political party. Maoist party is not in good shape at the
moment, but they are the ones who brought up this caste issues.

These guys are jumping from a pond to blazing flame of fire. They are real
opperunists. They are more interested to clean the underwears of Prachanda and
baburam then serve the country and their community. A true servant of the people
doesnt need any political affiliations. They have swithed their parties for
their own interests Not for the upliftment of the so called dalits.

"DALIT" Where does this word come from? It should be wiped out of the
text books and should be banned for common use. Unless we do this, the people of
so-called lower castes will be regarded as SLAVES as long as the word DALIT
remains in use. It`s time that we should start thinking and behaving like human
beings and are one NEPALESE!!!

Fkng.. "Anonymous", your comments on dalit are disgusting. From your
racist comments you must belong to one of the so-called higher castes. But you
fkng... are not even aware that race or caste has nothing to do with personal
qalification. Qualification is acquired and hard earned, and not derived by your
so-called caste and race.
