PM Dahal accuses ex-monarchists of defaming party

Prime Minister Pushpa Kamal Dahal has accused the ex-monarchists of infiltrating his party in order to defame it.

He claimed that the latest incidents which dragged the Maoist party into controversy had been orchestrated by such elements.

A few days ago PM Dahal had told journalists that during his meeting with Indian ambassador Rakesh Sood, the latter had talked about his recent meeting with ex-King Gyanendra in which the former monarch had said that all his loyalists had now turned into Maoists.

“Has Gyanendra sent his people to become a lot more anarchic (within Maoists) and unleash mggayhem?”, he asked, adding, “I am both suspicious and fearful of this.”

PM Dahal said so at a function held in Butwal, Wednesday. nepalnews.com Dec 25 08
