Nobody can break our bond with People: Prachanda
By KTM Metro Reporter in Kathmandu
In an interview given to the BBC Nepali Service on Tuesday, September 02, 2008, Prime Minister Prachanda said that the tie between his party and the people was so strong nobody could break it.
Prachanda explained to the interviewer that he believed in keeping private property despite his party leaders depositing their salaries in the party’ bank account keeping only some amount for their upkeep. However, he said his party’s ultimate goal was to take the country to the path of a Socialist Communism but not going against the current national and international circumstances, but following the path of institutionalizing the federal democratic republic and through the legitimate means such as election. He said, “We have concluded that socialism without multiparty competition and political freedoms cannot survive. We have learned this from the experiences of Russia and other countries.”
Prime Minister Prachanda said that he has no prejudice against the army, police and armed police officers, all of the top officers including Chief of Army Staff General Rukmangud Katuwal would serve their full term as long as they remained committed to the people’s mandate on democracy, peace and change; so, none of them needed to feel insecure. He found a serious commitment and sense of responsibility in the Nepali soldiers; so, the process of integrating People’s Liberation Army with the Nepali Army would not have any problem.
Concerning the various treaties Nepal had signed with India, Prime Minister Prachanda said that those treaties had been obsolete and needed review and redo to suit the current federal democratic republic of Nepal.
