The Nepal Communist Party has issued a sharp rebuke against the government’s recent domestic policies, specifically targeting the forced eviction of squatter settlements and attempts to curb organizational freedoms. In a formal statement released Sunday, the party characterized the dismantling of temporary housing without offering alternative residency as a violation of basic human rights.
Describing the displacement of marginalized families as a "heartless" maneuver, the party warned that such actions erode public trust in the state. They have demanded an immediate halt to the demolition of huts until a comprehensive resettlement plan is established to protect the livelihoods of those affected.
The critique extended to the political landscape, where the party expressed alarm over potential bans on student organizations and trade unions. They argued that such restrictive measures echo the dark era of the Panchayat system, suggesting that it is unacceptable for a federal republic to revoke rights that were previously exercised. According to the party, these attempts directly contradict Nepal's constitutional guarantees and international labor commitments.
Further concerns were raised regarding the current economic climate under the new administration. The party pointed to a sharp rise in market inflation and the unchecked growth of black marketing. They urged the government to prioritize market regulation to shield citizens from escalating costs.
While acknowledging some positive aspects of the government's program, the party concluded that the current trajectory appears increasingly biased and unilateral. They emphasized that true democracy cannot be strengthened by uprooting the homes of the poor or suppressing the voices of organized laborers and students.
