Nepal - On the Occasion of the 31st People's War Day

Revolutionary Communist Party  of Nepal
Press Release
The People's War, launched exactly thirty years ago, has entered its thirty-first year today. On
this occasion, our party is celebrating People's War Day. On this historic day, our party offers
its heartfelt tributes to all the immortal martyrs who sacrificed their lives in the course of the
Nepalese revolution, expresses heartfelt respect for the disappeared, wounded, and disabled
fighters and commemorates the unparalleled sacrifice and valour shown by the people of
Nepal. Furthermore, we extend our cordial greetings and Red Salute to the families of the
martyrs and disappeared comrades, entire party members, supporters and well-wishers, the
respected masses of the people, fraternal parties, and the international working class.
The great people's war, declared with the determination to accomplish a new democratic
revolution against feudalism, comprador and bureaucrat capitalism internally, and
imperialism and expansionism externally, and advance towards scientific socialism and then
communism, had spread a new message of revolution and change not only in Nepal but
throughout the world. The masters of world imperialism and their puppets, the Nepalese
reactionary class, were terrified by this great People's War. But ironically, due to serious
betrayal and treachery by the party's top leadership against the revolution, the Nepalese
revolution has turned into a counter-revolution. Yesterday, the people's war that was capable
of challenging globalised imperialism has now become a matter of history, and its leading
figures have become accomplices of imperialism. This is the bitter reality of today.
The limited democratic rights won by the Nepalese people on the foundation of the historic
People's War and the strength of the Mass Movement are being stripped away. The country's
trade deficit has skyrocketed, the economic crisis is severe, and remittances have propped up
the national economy. The working-class labourers, farmers, and low-wage employees are
struggling to make ends meet due to widespread unemployment and uncontrolled inflation,
and a tiny group that exploits the country under the protection of the state power has amassed
immense wealth. Corruption, black marketing, usurious exploitation, and cooperative fraud
are rampant. It is becoming difficult for the actual farmers to recoup their investments, while
middlemen are getting rich. Amid these problems, after the US imperialist agents hijacked
the leadership of the Gen-Z uprising, which erupted due to the ban on digital media imposed
by the then-Oli-led coalition government, and the formation of a puppet government led by
Sushila Karki, the so-called parliamentary election for March 21, 2026, has been announced.
This parliamentary election is the latest step of US imperialism to bring legitimately to power
the tested old agents of the parliamentary parties and the new agents created through the Gen-
Z revolt. This election is based on the long-term strategy of US imperialism to take control of
the entire state power of Nepal through its trusted agents, incorporate Nepal in its military
alliances, including the SPP, and surround China by building military bases on Nepalese soil.
This puppet government has been installed to implement the US strategy that counters the
principles of Panchasheel and the non-aligned foreign policy that the country has adhered to
until now.
Nepal has never been in such a serious situation as regards national independence. In today's
situation, when the very existence of the country is in danger, the only option is to dismiss
this traitorous government and pave the way for a forward-looking move by holding a
national political conference among all patriots, progressives, leftists and revolutionaries,
building a united front, constituting an independent united government and drafting a people's
constitution. In this situation, our party warmly calls on all patriotic forces to strongly boycott
the upcoming so-called parliamentary elections and build a base to constitute an independent
united government.
Date: February 13, 2026.
