Maoist statements: - http://cpnm.org/new/English/statements/2005/statements_1feb2005.htm#st1 I guess New Delhi is a major base of operations for them, according to the release. "....palace coup .... women, dalits, and janjatis ......military dictator king Gyanendra.....dictators like military dictator Pervez Musarraf and feudal monarch Gyanendra.......full democracy i.e. republican system.....Gyanendra Shahi....most infamous feudal clique in corruption, smuggling, killings and terror.....historic task of establishing republic..... a minimum common slogan of people?s democratic republic and constituent assembly.......royal proclamation, which is trying to push the Nepalese society of 21st century back to the 15th...." "..The flame of the People?s War will go on blazing till the so-called Royal Army that has been defeated in all the fronts with the great People?s Liberation Army, under the leadership of our Party, is dissolved and the arms are surrendered to the People?s Liberation Army..." "....In this great struggle against medieval feudal monarchy propped up by the U.S imperialism and Indian expansionism ....we call upon all the friends of Nepal in India and Nepalese people in India to join the massive rally on Feb 13, 2005 in New Delhi, Mumbai, Chennai, Kolkata and Chandigarh...The CC (P) calls upon all the revolutionary and democratic people of the Indian subcontinent to rise in united struggle against the expansionist Indian ruling classes and their mercenary army...The CC (P) calls upon the Jawans of the Indian army, who hail from the toiling classes, not to involve themselves in killing their class brethren by participating in the unjust military campaign of the Indian Government......." (1) The minimum common program talk: Constituent Assembly. That could be a compromise position. (2) The anti-India, anti-US rant. Off-putting. They are not understanding the complexity of both India and US. These large countries are not monoliths. They are diverse pieces on the map. Curiously they set up their rallies in that same India! It is like Nepalis in America going on and on against the ideal of democracy. These Maoists rant against India in India. (3) These guys go on and on with their classic Maoist talk. That is scary. I mean, if Pol Pot is your hero, who exactly are you? Going by their statements, the Maoists and the Monarchists are going for a head-on military conflict. Not a good development at all.
