Nepali Maoist mass organizations hold conferences

9 October 2006. A World To Win News Service. We received the following report from Purna, a supporter of the Communist Party of Nepal (Maoist). Mass organizations led by the Communist Party of Nepal (Maoist) have been holding public conferences in Kathmandu. During the ten years of fighting in the people’s war, before the ceasefire called in April, most of these organizations had to work underground. The government and Royal Army killed and “disappeared” many people suspected of being members. Over the last month, hundreds of thousands of Maoist supporters from all over the country have flooded into the Nepali capital to take part in open meetings.

There has been a national convention of the Families of the Martyrs, presided over by CPN(M) Standing Committee member Comrade Diwakar. Comrade Diwakar had lost his son, a member of the People's Liberation Army PLA, in a battle in central Nepal. Chairman Prachanda and Comrade Baburam Bhattarai also delivered speeches. Tens of thousands of family members of those killed in the people’s war and other people came to the capital for this meeting from across the country.

Similarly, the families of those “disappeared” and wounded in the course of the people’s war also organized their conventions in Kathmandu over several consecutive days. Tens of thousands of people took part in each meeting. The “Nepal Army” (as the Royal Army has been renamed) spread a rumour that the Maoists had brought tens of thousands of PLA fighters into Kathmandu to stage an insurrection. The state security apparatus in the Kathmandu valley went on alert and re-established previously removed security checkpoints. Police baton-charged some people gathering for the convention of the wounded.

There was also a convention of the Revolutionary Trade Union Federation. Altogether 50,000 people, including delegates and observers, participated in this convention of the Maoist-led trade unions, which have borne the red flags of Marxism-Leninism-Maoism and Prachanda Path and fought against all kinds of reformism and narrow trade unionism and for the revolutionary interests of the proletariat. This union federation has a glorious history of ideological and political struggle against the reformist and revisionist lines of the unions affiliated with the Congress Party (the leading parliamentary party) and the UML (a parliamentarian party that tries to call itself Marxist-Leninist). It has launched its class struggle in the form of trade union demands hand in hand with the struggle of all sections of the masses of people in the course of the development of the people’s war.

Similarly the 17th national convention of the All Nepal National Independent Student Union (Revolutionary) was successfully accomplished, with the participation of tens of thousands of students. Several representatives from Europe and Latin America delivered solidarity speeches.

The Maoist-led women’s organization also held its national convention successfully. Chairman Prachanda spoke to the tens of thousands of women. This Nepalese women’s organisation has a glorious history of struggle in the revolutionary movement. More than 40 percent of Nepali revolutionary political activists and PLA members are women. The political line of the CPN(M) is that women’s participation in all the fields of social life should constitute 50 percent.

Revolutionary intellectuals and revolutionary cultural organizations also have a proud history in Nepal fighting against capitalist and imperialist culture. Both of these organizations have accomplished their national conventions.
