'Maoists reaping advantage of combatants'
NEPALGUNJ, FEB 10 - Prime Minister Madhav Kumar Nepal on Wednesday accused the UCPN (Maoist) of taking ‘undue advantages’ of its combatants confined in UN-monitored cantonments. He said the Maoists have been operating donation drives and seizure of private property with the help of the combatants.
Inaugurating Rubaru FM, an Urdu-language radio station, in Nepalgunj today, PM Nepal remarked that the number of the combatants in the cantonments is lesser than the figure shown by the Maoists.
“Not all the qualified Maoist fighters are living in the cantonment as a flock of them has left the camps just like the disqualified lot prior to the formal discharge,” said PM adding, “The Maoist party has been taking salaries of those absent from the cantonment.”
"Shun violence"
While inaugurating the Rapti Bridge earlier today, the prime minister had urged the Maoist to shun the politics of violence.
Greetings with black flag
Meanwhile, the Maoist activists greeted the prime minister, who was accompanied by Deputy Prime Minister Bijaya Kumar Gachhadar, other two ministers and state ministers with black flags.
