Giving assurances that the government will move ahead steadfastly to wipe out corruption, the Prime Minister pledged not to compromise and bow out on this.
The Maoist Centre Chair said that they are actively moving ahead of the communist movement as per the new situation and were focusing on the process of forming a socialist front to conclude the socialist revolution. Stating that the party suffered an irreparable loss with the sudden demise of DR Poudel, party chairperson Dahal recalled the late leader as the one who always fulfilled his duties and responsibilities given him by the party. "I had given him the responsibility of the Education Minister so that he would establish himself among the people. He also carried out his responsibilities well," PM Dahal said. On a different note, the PM said that the achievements of the movement have come under attack in recent times and those forces considered democratic have turned out to be involved in undemocratic and lowly conducts. "The responsibility of defending the achievements of the movement by struggling against the attacks has fallen on our shoulders. We have to prove that only the communists are honest and capable. Therefore, the government front has to be maximally used in favor of social justice, good governance and prosperity," he asserted. Party's senior Vice-Chair and Deputy Prime Minister and Home Minister Narayan Kaji Shrestha said that it is the responsibility of all to make the government successful under any circumstances. Stressing the need of expediting the journey towards prosperity, he insisted that the present government should be successful in fulfilling the public aspirations. "The political change happened on the backing of the People's Movement waged under the Maoist leadership. However, the economic and social transformation has still become a far-cry. Although some achievements have been made, the kind of social and economic transformation as directed by the historic political change and as expected by the people has not been experienced yet. The incumbent government will materialize this," he reiterated. Vice-Chair duo Pampha Bhusal and Agni Prasad Sapkota, general secretary Dev Prasad Gurung, deputy general-secretary Haribol Gajurel and Girirajmani Pokhrel, among other leaders paid tribute to Dhaniram Poudel on the occasion.
