the revolution,” a party

The document also proposes to declare “capitalists and compradors” as the party’s “principal enemy”. In his paper, Chand expressed dissatisfaction over the Comprehensive Peace Agreement and evacuation of the PLA combatants from cantonments.
Ninety representatives in the convention are scheduled to comment on Chand’s paper. Party spokesperson Khadka Bahadur Bishwakarma said the representatives will give their suggestions till Friday morning. The convention will elect the party leadership after the paper is finalised, he said.
