The Chairman of the Communist Party of Nepal (Maoist) Prachanda, inaugurating the Bhumya festival of the Magar community in Kathmandu said today that Nepal’s recently elected constituent assembly is the most inclusive in the world. He said, "Our Constituent Assembly is the most inclusive in the world because almost all ethnic communities have been directly and proportionately elected here. Perhaps even the nations known as the ‘most democratic’ in the world do not have such an inclusive assembly."
He reminded the gathering of the fact that Nepal’s current Constituent Assembly has the representation of almost all marginalized communities. According to him, this current achievement became possible due to the decade-long Maoist-led insurgency during which thousands died and 19-day historical April Movement aimed at the peace process.
Remembering how the anti-change parties had been undermining the Nepalis’ armed insurgency, he said, "when the starved, the most suppressed and the deprived began their armed struggles against the feudal rule, other parties derogated them. Today they have seen the power of the people. The people have shown them by peacefully abolishing the monarchy and are on the path to bigger changes."
At the same time, he did not fail to warn other status-quoist and conspiring parties that if the elected Maoists are not allowed to serve people peacefully, the conspiring forces themselves will have to suffer the consequences.
At present, the Nepali Congress and the UML, who previously served the feual monarchy, have been trying to stop Maoists from forming a new government. Maoists have got a clear majority mandated by the people.
