KATHMANDU, Aug 3 – The Unified CPN (Maoist) on Monday made public a month-long protest against, for what they called, establishing civilian supremacy in the country.
Maoist Standing Committee meeting held Monday morning also decided to launch a ‘nationwide awareness campaign’ in order to press the government to implement the agreements reached with the political parties apropos to the civilian supremacy.
The party has warned to protest from August 7 if a specific agreement concerning the Army Chief row and civilian supremacy is not forged within three days.
Protests include rallies, sit-in, assembly, boycotting public event of the President and the Prime Minister and others.
The programme has also been made not to allow the President and the Prime Minister to participate in the public events, Maoist spokesperson Dinanath Sharma informed.
The meeting has also given responsibility to engineer and finalise the stir to Dr Baburam Bhattarai.
According to Maoist Spokesperson Sharma, the party will prepare additional modules for the benefit of left parties and civilian supremacy.
Additional struggle programmes will be launched if the demands are not met by the first phase of programme, Sharma informed.
The Maoist party on Sunday said that it would intensify protest both from the House and the streets if a specific agreement concerning the Army Chief row and civilian supremacy is not forged within four days.
