When asked to comment about his party chair´s remarks, Bhattarai, who was invited to a talk show called Aba Ke Hola on Nepal Television on Wednesday evening, said, "Our leaders lack political and cultural level. If the people´s leaders themselves reduce their stature with such remarks and want to become Lilliputs, what can we do?"
Earlier on Tuesday, Bhattarai had described Dahal´s remarks as a "character assassination bid."
