HIMALAYAN NEWS SERVICE


KATHMANDU: At a time when the party is desperately seeking ways to resolve the widening internal rift, Vice Chairman of Unified CPN-Maoist Baburam Bhattarai today organised a secret meeting of women leaders of the party.

Pro-Bhattarai leaders including politburo members Devendra Poudel, Navaraj Subedi and Hisila Yami had given political training to leaders present at the gathering held at a hotel in Thamel.

According to one participant, the leaders discussed the internal struggle in the party and the demand for proportional representation in the government being raised by the faction led by senior Vice Chairman Mohan Baidhya.

Due to the stance of Vice Chairman Baidhya regarding proportional representation of UCPN-M leaders who will represent the party in the government, the Maoist central committee meeting has been stalled since June 24.
