Kathmandu, 22 August: The CPN (Maoist Center), that made the names of the office-bearers on Saturday, has been criticized for not being inclusive by the party's insiders itself. They have harshly criticized party chair Pushpa Kamal Dahal aka Prachand for ignoring the issue of inclusiveness.
Narayan Kaji Shrestha has been made the senior vice-chairman, Krishna Bahadur Mahara the vice-chairman and Dev Gurung the general secretary. Similarly, Giriraj Mani Pokharel, Barsha Man Pun, Haribol Gajurel, Pampha Bhusal, Janardan Sharma, Matrika Yadav and Shakti Basnet have been made deputy general secretaries.
Dina Nath Sharma, Chakra Pani Khanal, Devendra Paudel, Leela Mnai Pokharel, Ganesh Sah, Hit Man Shakya, Hit Raj Pandey and Ram Karki have been made secretaries while Sriram Dhakal has been made the treasurer.
The revolutionary party that took up arms demanding equality and inclusion has included 15 Khas Arya—14 of them men—among 21 office-bearers. The list proposed by Khas male Chairman Pushpa Kamal Dahal, and endorsed by the rubber stamp standing committee meeting, glaringly includes only one woman in Deputy General Secretary Pampha Bhusal.
Only Senior Vice-chairman Narayan Kaji Shrestha, General Secretary Dev Gurung, Deputy General Secretary Barsha Man Pun and Secretary Hit Man Shakya are from indigenous ethnicities while Deputy General Secretary Matrika Yadav and Secretary Ganesh Sah are the only Madhesis, according to setopati.com.
