Interview Dr Surendra KC
8:01 PM
The
seeds of division within the NCP were planted during the founding of
the party itself. Consequently, divisive tendencies appeared in the
party within two years of its formation, a tendency that continued
unabated over the years. The unexpected removal by the party politburo
in 1952 of the then general secretary Pushpalal and the election of
Manmohan Adhikari to the post formally inaugurated the misunderstanding,
dissensions, and inner conflicts in the party. The main objective of
the discarded Pushpalal became to oppose the injustice perpetrated upon
him and to have him reinstated to the same post. This led to, as one of
its outcome, the process of division in the party.
The ban imposed on the NCP five years previously was lifted in 1956 by
the then Prime Minister Tanka Prasad Acharya. The party at the time
issued a press release expressing its commitment to “accept
constitutional monarchy and engage in the propagation of socialist
ideology through peaceful means. (Press release of Nepal Communist Party
on Baisakh 3, 2014 B.S.) The questions have been important for
ideological causes for the divisions in the party.
