The Kiran faction of the Nepal Maoists states his views

The following was posted on the Maoist List, http://www.groups.yahoo.com/group/MAOIST_REVOLUTION;

The Standing Committee  meeting of UCPN (Maoist)  today on 19th May decided that the PLA should be 'integrated' ( read dismantled and surrendered)    under the command of Nepal army . It was also decided by the majority that the number of  PLA  and other norms and modalities  could be finalised  by mutual agreement with Nepali Congress and CPN (UML )  -  (read the U.S. and India) . Barsaman Pun, the in-charge of PLA  and loyal to Prachanda said that the proposal of the Nepal Army is positive.

Com. Kiran and other three comrades in the Standing Committee fiercely opposed the decision of majority. Now, it is more than clear that Chairman of UCPN ( Maoist)  has 'boldly' taken decision to surrender the only one remaining  asset-PLA- of the ten years-old-peoples war. The other two assets- People's War and Local Power were already abandoned. 

The above statement is obviously pro-Kiran faction of the UPCN-M.

Nepal’s Kiran: Pressing toward the seizure of power
“We have now two main problems. They are:
1.problems related to class struggle or national struggle and
2.problems related to two-line struggle in the party.
“The problem concerning national struggle is related to the problem in correctly identifying the class enemy and the problem in effectively advancing the struggle against it. Now the reactionaries, on the one hand, are conspiring to convert our party- Unified Communist Party of Nepal (Maoist)- into a reformist and status-quoist party by pushing it to the grand parliamentary quagmire and should this plan fail, they are plotting to resort to suppression against our party, one or the other.
“We must understand this truth properly.
“In the same way, the two-line struggle in the party is getting complicated and this is also the expression of class struggle. We also must be serious on the issue of properly understanding the two-line struggle and advancing it in a comradely manner. “
The following is an extremely important statement concerning the direction of the Maoist revolution in Nepal. We urge everyone to study and consider this document, explore its context, and think through what it proposes.
This was presented as a proposal by senior vice-chairman Comrade Mohan Baidhya Kiran at the Central Committee meeting of the Unified Communist Party of Nepal (Maoist) in April 2011.
This is a document of dissent — issued in contrast to the proposal of the Maoists’ chairman. Central to the discussion here is whether to focus on preparing for an insurrection or whether to present new proposals for resolving the existing stalemate over national constitution and the subordination of the national army.
Previously the CPN(Maoist) had adopted a political approach of ‘popular insurrection’ at the Party’s sixth extended meeting or plenum in November 2010(held in Palungtar within the Gorkha district).
By posting this here, Kasama is not endorsing political arguments or conclusions — but presenting documents and views essential for communists to understand and debate.* * * * * * * *
by Mohan Baidhya Kiran
‘The immediate political proposal’ presented by comrade chairman in the Politburo meeting held on April 20, 2011 and also in the present Central Committee meeting is against the fundamental spirit of the political line adopted by the Central Committee meeting held soon after the Palungtar extended meeting. Expressing my dissenting opinion on Chairman’s proposal, I, therefore, would like to present a separate political proposal in this committee.
1. Two main problems at present
The country is now in a grave political crisis.
We have now two main problems. They are: problems related to class struggle or national struggle and problem related to two-line struggle in the party. The problem concerning national struggle is related to the problem in correctly identifying the class enemy and the problem in effectively advancing the struggle against it. Now the reactionaries, on the one hand, are conspiring to convert our party — Unified Communist Party of Nepal (Maoist) — into a reformist and status-quoist party by pushing it to the grand parliamentary quagmire and should this plan fail, they are plotting to resort to suppression against our party, one the other.
We must understand this truth properly.
In the same way, the two-line struggle in the party is getting complicated and this is also the expression of class struggle. We also must be serious on the issue of properly understanding the two-line struggle and advancing it in a comradely manner.
Now families of martyrs, families of disappeared warriors, and injured and disabled warriors are expecting from our parties to realize their aspirations and dreams of liberation. The entire Nepali people including workers, peasants, women, dalits (oppressed), janajaties [minority nationalities], Muslims and all backward people and classes as well as the international proletarian class, too, are watching at our party as a centre of hope for their bright future.
We must pay our attention to all these factors.
A true communist party and its leaders must seek scientific solution to these problems. Otherwise, the validity and justification of such leadership would automatically come to an end. We must be very serious on this issue.

The Rest of this can be read on the Kasama Project.
