Normal life affected due to ‘terai bandh’ Normal life in the eastern terai districts was crippled Friday due to the terai bandh (shut down) called by the Janatantrik Terai Mukti Morcha (JTMM), a breakaway faction of Maoists. All the educational institutes, industries and business centres remained closed due to the bandh in all the districts of eastern terai. Though long route vehicles could be seen plying on the Mahendra Highway, vehicular movement on the local roads was at a complete halt today. The JTMM called the bandh demanding to declare an independent terai state in the present changed context of the nation and against the Maoist atrocities in the terai region. However there are no reports of any untoward incidents so far. nepalnews.com pb Oct 13 06 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Since, we have started the trend of bowing down to terror groups financed and harbored by india (i.e. maoists). Because india knows we Nepalis are peace loving people and will do anything to pave ways for peace even if it means letting murders walk away free, bringing unpatriotic laws, and unconstitutional parliamentary proclamation / declarations. So, yes, will give maoist whatever they want because they carried guns, and it sounds like we will have to give JTMM whatever they want because they have guns as well. Now my question to you all is, will I be able to get back what was given to the maoists and JTMM if I were to carry guns in the future???? Hmmmm I guess not because I will have guns like the maoists and JTMM but I guess I won't have india's harbor and finincial backing. Point made....enough said. Thank you.
