CP Mainali, Standing Committee member of the defunct CPN-ML, stuck to his opposition
to the ML-UML merger, and in a statement today said that he along with some other colleagues, will
soon be forging a new party. He called the ML-UML merger a "tragic event".
"We will soon be under a new party mechanism and will salvage the CPN-ML and lead it," the
statement said. The guiding doctrine of the new party will be Marxism-Leninism, he said.
But, while speaking at the unification ceremony, both Bam Dev Gautam and Madhav Kumar Nepal,
requested Mainali to come to the mainstream and join the reunited CPN-UML.
Joining hands with Mainali are two central committee members of the dissolved CPN-ML—Jit Bir Lama
and Rishi Kattel.
