Kathmandu: Pushpa Kamal Dahal, Coordinator of the Nepal Communist Party, has warned that his party will launch protests both in the streets and in Parliament if the rights gained through public struggle and sacrifice are violated.

Speaking at a program organized by the All Nepal Women’s Association (Revolutionary) on the occasion of New Year 2083, Prachanda said any attempt to curtail people’s rights would not be tolerated.

He stated that his party would extend constructive support to the current government led by the Rastriya Swatantra Party if it works in the interest of the people. However, he cautioned that there would be strong resistance if there is interference in the constitution, harm to national interests, or violations of citizens’ rights.

On Constitutional Amendment
Prachanda clarified that he is not against amending the constitution but emphasized that any amendment should focus on expanding people’s rights, empowering women, Dalits, and marginalized communities, and strengthening federalism.

Election Review and Party Plans
He described the recent elections as “unusual and extraordinary” and said the party is currently reviewing the results.

Prachanda also reiterated his commitment to completing the party unification process down to the grassroots level in the coming days and holding a general convention within six months. He added that after unifying mass organizations and departments, nationwide training programs will be conducted under a single ideological framework.

Call for Self-Reflection and Unity
He instructed party cadres to return to the people with a spirit of self-reflection and accountability.

Recalling past political cooperation, Prachanda highlighted his collaboration with Madhav Kumar Nepal and acknowledged their joint role in the peace process and the establishment of a federal democratic republic.

He also stressed the need to move forward in coordination with forces involved in the historic 12-point understanding and the broader peace process.
