Addressing an event organized in Kathmandu on Sunday, Chairman Nepal said that the party was actively working for the welfare of people and society and advancing towards socialism. Claiming that the coalition parties in the incumbent government time and again have discussed continuation of the alliance until three-tier elections, he directed party leaders and cadres to unite against regressive forces and confidently join their duty.
Meanwhile, sister organizations of the CPN (Unified Socialist) on Sunday staged nationwide protests demanding amendments in some of the provisions of the MCC compact agreement. "The project is not in the interest of the nation. So, we have demanded that it should not be ratified in its current form," said Jagannath Khatiwada, Chief of the party’s Publicity Department.
