People’s Front Nepal (PFN) Sunday declared that its ongoing "exposure campaign" against the Maoists would continue.

Organising a press meet in the capital today, the PFN declared that the campaign against Maoist activities would soon be launched in Gulmi, Dang, Surkhet and Paanchthar districts. The party has accused the Maoists of increasingly leaning towards "social fascism" by physically attacking people of different political ideology.

"The grassroots cadres of the CPN Maoist lack political culture and they do not seem to be obeying the directions of the top brass," said PFN vice-chairman Pari Thapa who himself was attacked by the rebels at a mass meeting in Baglung district, recently. He informed that the party would negotiate with the rebel leadership regarding the attacks on its leaders and cadres as well as some other political issues.

In recent times, the Maoists have attacked a number of PFN leaders and cadres in Gulmi, Baglung, Dang and Dailekh districts. The party also said that it was going to.

Addressing the press meet, PFN general secretary Nabaraj Subedi said, "The Maoist leadership must apologize for the attack on our leaders and cadres." Subedi viewed that the Maoists were trying to establish an authoritarian rule by terminating people of different political faith. "The war they are waging is in fact a mass execution," he declared.

It was informed at the press meet that 24 PFN cadres were still in Maoist captivity. nepalnews.com mbk Oct 17 04 Sphere: Related Content
