Communist Party of Nepal (Burma)

The conference stated that the royal takeover in the country had been a backlash for the democratic forces, and called for a united front to be formed with Nepali Congress.

Manmohan Adhikari and Shambhu Ram Shrestha, both in jail at the time, were nominated to the Central Committee.

The congress stated that the Soviet Union was the international centre of socialism, and condemned the positions of China.

Manandhar called for participation in the popular protests against the regime, and accused Rayamajhi of favouring status quo.

The congress, attended by 125 delegates from 32 districts, elected Rayamajhi as chairman of the party and Krishna Raj Burma as the new general secretary.

Again the participation in the Raj Sabha by Rayamajhi and accusations of his workings with the Panchayat system were the focal points of disagreements.

[7] During the 1990 Jana Andolan (People's Movement), CPN (Burma) formed part of the United Left Front.

During the negotiations for starting the rewriting the constitution after the victory of the movement, CPN (Burma) was clearly amongst the most moderate elements inside ULF.

CPN (Burma) considered restoration of democracy, i.e. freedom of speech, press and assembly under multi-party system, as the main task.

The Nepal Afro-Asian People's Unity Committee and the Nepal-Soviet Friendship and Cultural Association were linked to the party.

NNSF and NAAPUC were divided, whilst the NSFCA remained formally united but the different groups continued to fight over the influence over the organisation.
