General Secretary Pokharel: CPN (UML) is a defining party based on people’s multi-party democracy

Kathmandu: General Secretary of CPN (UML), Shankar Pokharel, has argued that CPN (UML) became a defining political power based on the people’s multi-party democracy.

Addressing a function organized at party headquarters on the occasion of Madan-Ashrit Memorial Day on Saturday, General Secretary Pokharel made that statement.

The PMD was developed under the leadership of the then General Secretary Madan Bhandari.

It was the foundation of PMD that led the party to become a strong political power in the general election held in 2051BS.

Since then CPN (UML) has a playing a key role in national politics. PMD’s contribution helped defeat the reactionary and violent policies and autocratic monarchy, he reminded.

The CPN (UML) has been moving ahead with the chequered history of challenges, including a ban on the party, a party split in 2054 BS, disappointing results in the constituent assembly, and later revival, according to him.

Then General Secretary of the party, Bhandari, and then the chief of the UML organization department, Jivraj Ashrit, had lost their lives in a Dashdhunga jeep accident that occurred on Jestha 3, 2050 BS. They were heading to Chitwan from Pokhara.
