  CPI(M) Condemns Brutal Attack On CPN(UML) Headquarters

 

The general secretary of the Communist Party of India (Marxist), Prakash Karat, issued the following statement on April 26:

 

THE Communist Party of India (Marxist) strongly condemns the attack on the headquarters of the Communist Party of Nepal (United Marxist-Leninist) by police and security personnel in Khatmandu. It is shocking that this attack took place immediately after the funeral of prominent women communist, Sadhana Adhikari, wife of former prime minister, Manmohan Adhikari, whose body had been kept in the premises of the party office for people to pay homage.

 

The statement of the Communist Party of Nepal (UML) is enclosed which shows the type of police state Nepal has been converted into under King Gyanendra. The UPA government should take note of the ground realities in Nepal before taking any step which will strengthen the authoritarian rule of the King.

 

STATEMENT ISSUED BY THE CPN(UML)

(April 26, 2005)

 

The Communist Party of Nepal (UML) strongly condemns the unprovoked attack and vandalism done by plainclothesmen deputed by the royal government inside the Party Headquarters at Balkhu in Kathmandu on April 25. The following misdeeds of the government security men under disguise have amply unmasked the undemocratic and dictatorial face of the unconstitutional royal government in Nepal.
