JTMM torches pahade vehicle
PR
LAHAN, Dec 23 - The Jwala Singh faction of Janatantrik Terai Mukti Morcha (JTMM), a splinter group of the Maoists, torched a parked jeep belonging to local Shova Giri, here at Lahan Municipality Friday night.
The front tires, battery and wires of the vehicle (Ba 2 Cha 6809), parked in front of the branch office of Janakpur Cigarette Factory at Lahan, Siraha, were damaged after JTMM cadres set fire to the vehicle. According to Siraha in-charge of the JTMM, Bhai Mandal, they torched the vehicle as it was found plying on the highway, violating their ban on all pahade's (people from hilly regions) vehicles.
A month ago, the JTMM chief Jwala Singh, through a press statement, had announced a 15-day ban on all vehicles belonging to pahades on the East-West Highway beginning December 16.
Tell me now why we should give citizenship to these people.
