Apr 22, Kathmandu- CPN-Maoist Center Chairman Pushpa Kamal Dahal ‘Prachanda’, while expressing his views on the historical journey, current situation and future direction of the communist movement in Nepal, said that the establishment of the party on Lenin’s birth anniversary was not only a historical coincidence but also a matter of inspiration.

He said this at a program organized at the party central office today to mark the 77th foundation day of the Communist Party of Nepal (CPN) and the 156th Lenin birth anniversary.

According to Dahal's secretariat, he said, "The Communist Party of Nepal, founded with inspiration from Lenin, has turned 77 today, which is a matter of pride for the entire communist movement."

He discussed the Communist Party's history of struggle and said that the communist movement has reached its current state amidst division and sacrifice, adding, "The need of the day is to unite the communists again. We want unity on the basis of ideas, principles and the ideological basis of true communists. We are in the process of reaching out to the people and correcting our weaknesses."
