Pushpalal and BP remembered
Various political leaders said communist leader the late Pushpa Lal Shrestha and Mahamanav BP Koirala were committed leaders.
The leaders expressed such views at an interaction on \'Views of Pushpa Lal and BP\'s thoughts on Nationality, Democracy and Military\', organized by the Nepal Prabaha national monthly on the occasion of Pushpa Lal and BP Memorial Day in the capital July 19.
UCPN-Maoist Secretary CP Gajurel said the thoughts of the late leaders Pushpa Lal and BP are still relevant.
Reminding that the Rana autocracy could not have been toppled in 2007 BS if BP Koirala had not spearheaded the armed struggle against them, he said "There is no point the NC calling itself fully non-violent."
Moreover, he said even BP had realized that he had done mistake by not bringing army under people\'s control. So, the leaders of the NC must learn from the historic ideal and thoughts of senior leader BP, he suggested.
Commenting on the late leader Pushpa Lal, he said the weakness of Pushpa Lal was his inability to rise through people\'s movement though he contributed significantly in the communist movement and new people\'s democracy.
He expressed concerns over the views of the NC and CPN-UML that are harping for the dissolution of the people\'s liberation army which sacrificed in the people\'s movement as well as the 19-day movement.
NC leader and chairman of BP Chintan Foundation Haribol Bhattarai said at present also the country is moving ahead with democratic and communist philosophies being represented by Koirala and Pushpa Lal.
He said BP was the first democratic leader to open the political eye of the general public and fill them with the light of consciousness. He added BP was a farsighted and patriot stating that BP never bowed down before anyone against nationality and democracy.
UML leader Lok Krishna Bhattarai claimed that the country would be prosperous if followers of BP and Pushplal abide by their philosophies.
He opined that the country would not have to face any struggle, war or people\'s movement if the NC had properly managed food, clothing and housing for the people by following BP\'s principles.
