The Maoists have decided not to criticize the party and leadership in the public forum. The standing committee meeting that ended on Monday also warned that any leader who goes against the party's decision will be subject to action.

In the background that Maoist Deputy General Secretary Janardan Sharma has been commenting against the leadership from the public platform, the standing committee meeting has instructed the leaders to hold opinions only according to the party system. 

The standing committee has decided to legally control the tendency to create factions or sub-factions within the party and to take action against the people involved in such actions. A Maoist leader informed that the standing committee meeting resolved the differences between Chairman Pushpa Kamal Dahal and Deputy Secretary General Sharma. "The differences between the two leaders have stopped because they have agreed on the decision to unite for party reconstruction," said the leader, "the party has decided to strengthen internal unity." 

Deputy Secretary General Sharma was raising questions about Chairman Dahal's leadership and working style from the public platform. President Dahal also commented on his statement. In the standing committee meeting, 40 out of 46 leaders had pressured Sharma to submit a written self-criticism saying that he had gone outside the party system and expressed his views. But President Dahal did not insist on it. Deputy Secretary General Varshman Pun also said that rather than taking immediate action for making a public statement, a law should be made in the coming days. 

When Sharma said that from now on he will unite the party and follow the method, an official said that it was taken as an admission of weakness. "If the president wanted, it could have been decided that Sharma should give a written self-criticism," he said. 

Maoist Vice President and Spokesperson Agni Prasad Sapkota claimed that the party was united through the Standing Committee meeting. "In the past, he (Sharma) did not correct the minutes of the party. Now you have said that you will do it right,' he said, 'You have also realized the President's words.' The Maoists have also decided to unite with the Nepal Communist Party (NCP) led by Netra Vikram Chand. 

The distance between Dahal and Sharma increased from December 2078. Sharma and Pun were general secretary aspirants in the eighth convention held in December 2078. But Dahal kept both of them as deputy general secretary and made Dev Gurung the general secretary. After that, Sharma, who became dissatisfied, raised questions in writing and verbally about the party's internal democracy and leadership transfer. If the party took action on the basis of the questions he had asked, Deputy Secretary General Sharma was even in a state of mind to think of alternatives. An official said that after analyzing his psychology and future preparations, Dahal took the path of understanding without proceeding with the action process.
