The campaign, which has the support of leaders including Haribol Gajurel and Maheshwar Dahal, concluded that the country is facing a serious political, economic and social crisis. It has called for broad unity among divided communist forces and the formation of a unified revolutionary party, while putting forward various demands and commitments.

Broad left unity and ideological debate
