A meeting of the UML secretariat has been called today to discuss the statement made by CPN-UML Vice Chairman and Parliamentary Party Leader Ram Bahadur Thapa in the Parliament meeting on Thursday.
There has been a huge uproar within the UML after he said that the then Sushila Karki government, Nepali Army, employees, foreign powers and some non-governmental organizations were behind the Gen-G movement on Bhadra 23, the destruction of Bhadra 24 and the election results on Falgun 21.
While Chairman KP Sharma Oli was in police custody, Thapa had become the parliamentary party leader on Wednesday and presented the UML's views in the Parliament meeting on Thursday. He had accused the 'state and various powers' of trying to win the National Independent Party in the election.
‘The caucus played a decisive role in this magical victory, as is clear from numerous facts,’ Thapa had said, ‘The invisible forces TOB, AI, algorithms, Goebbels who established the heroes of nationalism, democracy, republic, federalism, peace and prosperity as terrible villains and murderers. They made the villain who burned the country and erased its national identity a great hero.’
UML establishment members have objected to Thapa’s presentation as being like a ‘wartime Maoist’ and accusing the army and employees without any basis. Leaders close to Oli are silent on Thapa’s statement.
Vice-President Bishnu Poudel had commented that Thapa’s ‘opinions expressed by Ram Bahadur Thapa in his capacity as party leader are against the party’s founding policy and beliefs’. However, before speaking in parliament, he had consulted with Chairman Oli and General Secretary Shankar Pokharel.
‘The political issues raised by party leader Ram Bahadur Thapa in Parliament came from discussions,’ she said, ‘The issues raised about the state’s stakeholders are his personal matters.’ Another secretary, Khagaraj Adhikari, said that the secretariat meeting would discuss forming a common view on political and other issues in and outside Parliament.
