“We are on a new course but it does not mean that we have left our ideologies and goals behind; the direction needs to be changed as per the need of time to advance towards the goals. Sometimes, time demands taking journey uphill and sometimes to downhill as an expedition to the summit of a peak as the society and politics are like climbing the peak. ”

According to him, the establishment of a republic and inclusive state was possible following integration between revolutionary and peaceful movements and understanding between the revolutionary and parliamentary parties.
