"Already seven of our party cadres have been killed. But the media has not seriously raised this issue," he said, complaining at what he said as 'one-sided attack by media against Maoists.'
He also vehemently criticised the 'army generals' for issuing strong statements denying any meeting between him and generals.
"I had met them. I can give time, date and venue if necessary. But I am surprised why they are coming out with such statements," he said.
Prachanda said that his party will contest the election come what may. "We will contest the polls. We will not run away from peace process. If we have to die, we will die here only," he said. nepalnews.com sd Mar 23 08
