UCPN (Maoist) chairman Pushpa Kamal Dahal has accused the media of spreading lies about his Malaysia visit.
"The media falsely reported that there was no conference at all," he said at the airport after returning from his four-day trip to Malaysia. Displaying a certificate of the conference allegedly organised in Kuala Lumpur, he said, "The Asia Pacific Exchange and Cooperation Foundation gave me this appointment letter as its co-chairman, which proves there was a conference."
Dahal's appointment letter reads as follows: "We are honor To Appointment Mr. Prachanda Path as the Co-Chairman of Asia Pacific Exchange & Cooperation Foundation."
The organisation that made Dahal its co-chairman, however, does not exist in cyberspace. In fact, the only references to the conference on Google are news bytes on Dahal's visit to Malaysia, as reported by Nepali news portals. Dahal claims there were participants from China, Thailand, Vietnam and other countries at the conference, who committed to work for peace and development.
