Thankx for the link....I think it is true -thaag Maoists are India's weapon: Nepalese leader IANS[ MONDAY, NOVEMBER 17, 2003 03:07:42 PM ] KATHMANDU : A veteran Nepalese communist leader who has for long been underground has alleged that Maoists are a weapon of the Indian government to foment instability in Nepal . Mohan Bikram Singh, general secretary of the leftist United Front (Masal) that has produced two top Maoist leaders, said in an interview in the Kathmandu Post daily on Monday that the rebels had strayed from their mission of initiating fundamental changes in Nepal and had become "opportunistic" and "career-minded". "They are ready to make any compromise with any force - be it India or monarchy - to come to power," he said. Singh's party nurtured the political careers of Pushpa Kamal Dahal alias Prachanda, the supreme commander of the Maoists, and Baburam Bhattarai, his deputy, till they left to found their own party. He alleged that India wanted continuous instability in Nepal for its own interests. "It wishes that Nepal should never be able to resolve the Maoist insurgency and would be compelled to invite the Indian Army to contain the violence here," he said. "The Maoists, like other political parties in the past, have become the best weapon for India to fulfil its mission." "Unlike Mao, who never extorted, the Maoists in Nepal continue extorting and butchering people, which has distanced the rebels from society," he said. Singh, who had started out as a cadre of the Nepali Congress party, said the Maoists would not be able to establish the new state they want. "They will instead establish social fascism, which we will all have to fight against later," he said. Accusing the rebels of having links with the king, he said their demands for an all-party interim government and a new constitution would make the king more active. "Monarchy is the centre of all problems," he said. The Indian government says the insurgency in Nepal is an internal problem that can be solved by the Nepalese government without any third-party mediation. It also says the Maoists are terrorists and that it supports the government effort to resolve the problem since any instability in Nepal would affect neighbouring India . |
