Question

Besides the political parties the other organizations which joined the popular movement of 2006 in Nepal are _________________.

• A. Seven parties' alliance and people
• B. King and the elected representatives
• C. Maoists and elected representatives
• D. Maoist insurgents and other organizations

Answer 1

The correct option is A Seven parties' alliance and people

SPA or the Seven Party Alliance in Nepal included some big parties that had some members in the Parliament. But the SPA was not the only organisation behind this mass upsurge. The protest was joined by the Nepalese Communist Party (Maoist) which did not believe in parliamentary democracy. This party was involved in an armed struggle against the Nepali government and had established its control over large parts of Nepal. The struggle involved many organisations other than political parties. All the major labour unions and their federations joined this movement. Many other organisations like the organisation of the indigenous people, teachers, lawyers and human rights groups extended support to the movement.
