The taskforce , comprising Hitraj Pandey from the ruling Maoist party and Dev Gurung from the splinter group, was formed to furnish recommendations within 10 days for the proportional distribution of central and regional party offices between the two parties. The UCPN (Maoist) has agreed to provide 30 percent of its infrastructure at the centre, including its central office at Parisdanda, to the CPN-M and distribute property at the local level proportionately.
The decision follows a three-day-old dispute over the ownership of the Chitwan party office which led to a tussle between cadres of the rival parties. A CPN-M cadre was arrested after a case was filed by those of the ruling party. CPN-M Chairman Mohan Baidya called on UCPN (Maoist) Chairman Pushpa Kamal Dahal at his Lazimpat residence on Friday morning and expressed serious reservations over the arrest. In talks, Dahal is said to have assured initiatives to withdraw the case filed against the CPN-M activist.
Both the leaders signed an agreement expressing their sorrow over the Chitwan dispute and agreed to work together to clear loans taken while setting up the central party office. "There has been an understanding to end this dispute," said Shiva Khakurel, an aide to Dahal. Khakurel said that both the sides have agreed to avoid conflict and take initiatives to secure the release of CPN-M cadres arrested in Chitwan.
