Armed group renews threat
NEPALGUNJ, SEP 05 -
Tarai Janatantrik Madhes Mukti Party, an underground outfit unleashing violence in western Tarai districts, has renewed its threat of taking physical action against Madhesi lawmakers if they vote in favour of UCPN (Maoist) Chairman Pushpa Kamal Dahal in the prime ministerial election race.
Issuing a statement on Sunday, faction Chairman Bhagat Singh charged that the Maoists have resorted to “political horsetrading to grab power”. He also flayed China for “meddling” in internal matters of the country. The group detonated an improvised explosive in the VDC building of Bankatti, Banke, on Sunday. Claiming responsibility for the incident, Singh said the group did so to protest rampant corruption in the VDC.
