Maoist commander warns of protests

KATHMANDU, May 20: Deputy Commander of the CPN-Maoist's army Barsaman Pun (Ananta) Sunday warned of agitation from tomorrow if the eight political parties and the government did not solve the problems of cantonments and fix a date for the constituent assembly election.

"We will be forced to go for agitation, as the government did not work according to the agreement for managing the Maoist cantonments," Ananta said at the Reporters Club Nepal. The movement will be peaceful with the aim of establishing republic in the country, he informed. Nabindra Raj Joshi of NC (Democratic) said that the activities of the YCL had created obstacles for holding CA elections. "Nobody has right to hold law in their hands."

Chandra Bhandary of Nepali Congress (NC) said that all youths irrespective of their ideology should join hands for holding CA polls. Political analyst Dr. Surendra KC said that that several other organisations like the YCL might emerge if activities of the YCL were not controlled in time. "The activities of the YCL will bring shame and ill-repute to the Maoists themselves," he added.

General Secretary of Democratic Youth Association Indra Lal Sapkota said the youths were ready to extend support to stop all kinds of corruption, but all their activities comply with the law.

The state mechanism should be activated to stop all kind of crimes and activities like those of the YCL, he added. Vice president of Nepal Tarun Dal Mahendra Yadhav said that the all activities of the YCL should immediately be stopped as they were acting against the existing laws and their activities were detrimental in maintaining law and order.

However, president of the YCL Ganeshman Pun (Rasmi) tried to defend that their activities were directed towards controlling corruption and crimes that prevail in the state of transition.

Valley in-charge of the YCL Sagar said that the YCL' s activities would be continued as they were directed towards corrupt ones and smugglers.
