NEW DELHI: CPI(M) leader Sitaram Yechury on Tuesday left for Nepal to attend the restoration of democracy celebrations, the first visit by a senior Indian politician to that country after the formation of the interim government.
During the two-day visit, the CPI(M) Polit Bureau member will hold discussions with Maoist leader Prachanda and senior government officials besides meeting top leaders of the Communist Party of Nepal and other parties.
Yechury had played a key role in restoration of democracy in the Himalayan country by conceiving the idea of forming an united platform in the struggle against monarchy and was instrumental in roping in the Maoist rebels.
He was invited by Nepal's Prime Minister Girija Prasad Koirala to attend the restoration of democracy celebrations as the chief guest. Nepal on Tuesday observed Democracy Day as part of the celebrations.
Yechury will meet Madhav Kumar Nepal, the General Secretary of the Communist Party of Nepal (United Marxist-Leninist) as part of the efforts to strengthen the party-to-party ties.
