Secretary-General of Nepal Communist Party (NCP) Bishnu Prasad Poudel has clarified that there was no dispute regarding the Venezuelan political crisis and NCP’s statement on it.
At the 20th general assembly of Lumbini Information and Communications Cooperatives Limited’s Radio Lumbini and 10th convention of Manigram of Rupandehi district here today, Secretary-General Poudel asserted that his party had already approved the statement released by the Chairman Pushpa Kamal Dahal ‘Prachanda ‘ on Venezuela’s political crisis.
Dahal in his statement had commented the United States of America (USA) for backing Huan Guiado as the Acting President instead of supporting Nicolas Maduro as its President. He had accused the USA of attempting an “imperialist coup” in Venezuela.
