Looks like for Maoists election campaigning means disturbing other parties' campaigns.. ha ha ha ha ha... pretty strange animals are these Maoists !@!


YCL unruly activities go unchecked

Kantipur Report

KATHMANDU, March 26 - Turning deaf ears to the chastisement for their unruly activities against candidates of other parties, the Maoist-affiliated Young Communist League (YCL) cadres continued their violent activities, Tuesday.

In Lamjung, YCL cadres used a novel way to obstruct election campaigns of Nepali Congress (NC) candidate, Tulsi Narayan Shrestha, by rolling down stones on the way at Sadikhola while Shrestha's team was heading to Pachok Tuesday. However, the YCL's motive to stop them from visiting voters was dampened as security personnel intervened chased the league cadres away.

Similarly, another YCL group obstructed an electoral mass meeting of CPN-UML at Nauthar of the district the same day. Many UML supporters were barred from attending the program after the YCL men blocked their way with boulders and barriers.

In Sunsari district too, the YCL cadres tried to disrupt an election program of Rastriya Janashakti Party at Hansposa. However, the program was resumed after representatives of UNMIN and National Human Rights Commission reached the site soon after. 

Meanwhile, issuing a statement on Tuesday, NC said that Maoists threatened to kill its supporter Baldev Tamang at Sindhupalchok district.

Similarly, YCL cadres frustrated an election rally of UML at New Road in the capital on Tuesday. Election mobilization committee of UML constituency-8 said, in a statement, that the YCL men tried to obstruct the women's rally led by its candidate Ashtalaxmi Shakya and misbehaved with the participants.

Meanwhile, at least a dozen cadres of Nepali Congress (NC) and Madhesi People's Rights Forum (MPRF) were injured when a scuffle ensued between them at Madhuban of Sunsari district, Tuesday.

The NC and Tarai Madhes Democratic Party (TMDP) cadres also clashed at Phulparasi VDC, of Sarlahi, Tuesday.
