CPN (Unified Socialist) Chairman and former Prime Minister Madhav Kumar Nepal has argued that Nepal cannot serve the undue interests put forth through the Millennium Challenge Corporation (MCC).
Chairman Nepal asked the Prime Minister to make Nepali citizens clear if there was any undue pressure and conditional provision on MCC.
Addressing the Lubmini province-level assembly organized by the Front in Butwal today, the former PM claimed that the MCC was ratified from the parliament by considering the 12-point interpretative declaration as a part of the MCC and added that Nepal will not join any of the military camp.
"Nepal has the rights over Nepal's land. We cannot accept other's rights," he said, adding that undue consensus with others should not be made to safeguard the powers.
Also speaking at the event, CPN General Secretary Netra Bikram Chandra 'Biplav' argued that the Front was formed as per the current need since there were attacks on socialism.
"The Socialist Front was formed as per the present needs, not due to someone's personal interests," Biplav stated.
He argued that the Front was formed for the socialist movement in the country.
Likewise, he said that MCC implementation should not supersede Nepal's laws and sovereignty. "We don’t protest the selfless support (of foreign countries) to Nepal but we don’t need conditional assistance," he reasoned.
The CPN General Secretary said, "The Socialist Front will not accept this. The Prime Minister's attention should be drawn."
During the programme, Lubmini Province In-charge of Janata Samajwadi Party Nepal Raj Kishor Yadav asked the government to seriously take people's expectations since the people have pinned high hopes on this government.
CPN (US) leader Pramesh Hamal, Som Prasad Pandey, Metmani Chaudhary, CPN (Maoist Centre) leader Sudarshan Bara and others leaders of the Front also addressed the programme.
