Maoists are making grave mistake:
PM
By a Post Reporter
KATHMANDU, Sept 23 - Referring to the
ongoing Maoist insurgency, Prime Minister Girija Prasad Koirala gave a moral support to
his party members who are "apparently the targets of the rebels."
"The Maoists are attempting to
exterminate Nepali Congress (NC). But they are making a mistake," said Koirala.
"NC represents principles which may be replaced by other principles but not by
the Maoists," he added.
Citing the record of Maoist violence, the
Prime Minister said 90 percent of those killed by the rebels are NC members.
Speaking at a programme to pay homage to
Late Hemraj Koirala, Bhojpur District Chairman of NC, he appealed to all NC
sympathizers to unite and fight against "reactionary forces."
"We should be well-equipped to
confront the Maoists," he said.
Koirala expressed grief over the sudden
demise of the district chairman of NC, and lauded his "relentless and commendable
service" to NC.
"Our party needs many dedicated
members like him. His death is a big loss not only to the party, but to the nation as
well," Koirala said.
