Maoists accuse US of interference
KOL Report

KATHMANDU, May 7 – In his first reaction to the US move to list Maoists as terrorists and signing of Nepal-US anti-terrorism agreement, Chairman of the CPN-Maoists Prachanda has accused the United States of interference in Nepal’s internal affairs.

In a statement issued on Wednesday, Prachand said, “ The United States wants to extend its hold in Nepal, thereby furthering its own interests and influence on India, China and ultimately over whole of South Asia.”

The statement has condemned the US move to list the party in its terrorist list and accused the US ambassador in Nepal of openly issuing threats against his party.

Prachanda also urged the US to stop what he calls “all activities that interfere in Nepal’s internal affairs.”

“At a time when peace talks are being held to end the insurgency, war mongering forces within and outside the country have increased their conspiracy and activities,” the statement said.

Prachanda again reiterated his party’s sincerity to bring the peace talks to a logical end and warned that the peace overtures should not be taken as a sign of weakness. (rk)
