Maoists remain alert as leaders rush to Delhi

The central secretariat meeting of the Unified CPN (Maoist) held Tuesday morning has concluded with the decision to remain on high alert for possible political shift as leaders from other parties rush to New Delhi.

Taking the Delhi rush as hint of possible political changes with Delhi’s involvement, the party has decided to start greater homework to avert it. As most secretariat members are out of valley for public opinion collection, the meeting has been postponed until afternoon.

KP Oli has recently returned from Delhi visit while Bam Dev Gautam left Kathmandu for Delhi on Monday. Girija Prasad Koirala and Surya Bahadur Thapa are scheduled to fly on Wednesday and former King Gyanendra is currently in Delhi.

Additionally, the party has concluded to be as flexible as needed towards the protests by Tharus and other ethnic groups and directed the government to call for a all-party meeting to address the demands. nepalnews.com ia Mar 10 09
