Kathmandu, 11 November: Bamdev Gautam, who has been running the CPN-UML national campaign after abandoning the CPN (UML), has urged the US to withdraw the Millennium Challenge Corporation (MCC). In a statement issued on Wednesday, Gautam urged the Nepali and US governments to withdraw the MCC project as it would create a "serious division" of public opinion rather than Nepal's interest. "The MCC project is likely to cause serious harm due to the division of public opinion rather than the interests of Nepal," Gautam said. In that case, I humbly request the Government of Nepal and the United States Government to withdraw the MCC project," reads the statement. People's News Monitoring Service
