Chand meets Shrestha, proposes cooperation in agitation

CPN General Secretary Netra Bikram Chand has met CPN (Maoist Center) leader Narayan Kaji Shrestha aggrieved after the latter's party supported ratification of the Millennium Challenge Corporation (MCC) Compact.

Chand reached Shrestha's residence Wednesday and urged him to join what Chand called the movement for nationalism. Chand told Shrestha that Maoist Chairman Pushpa Kamal Dahal cannot lead the campaign for 'national independence' and proposed Shrestha for cooperation in that, a source confided with Setopati.
