The Army said the duo was expelled by the central committee of the Maoists. Meanwhile, houses and public places in Lanti bazaar and Shankhamul of Chhaya Chettra of Salyan reportedly bear wall paintings with slogans like ?down with prachandapath,? ?declare cease-fire immediately,? ?hold peace talks immediately,? the Army?s Public Relations Directorate said. Similar pamphlets and wall paintings with slogans have also been found in various parts of Purundhara, Panchakule and Goltakuri VDCs of Dang, the RNA said. (dds) -------------------- Since this news repoart quotes Royal Nepalese Army as a source, I don't buy that the Baburam and his wife being expelled from party. The news that comes from Third World countries is less reliable and from Nepal under such circumstance is not exception. This could be the propoganda to show how the Maoist movement is freagmented. It makes me feel like Nepal is direct military rule and no one knows how many people are killed by Army that are not made public. We don't have a responsible political institutions in the country.
