Speaking at the Reporters Club on Wednesday, Gachchhadar claimed that government had received enough information that the Maoists were planning violent protests to pull down the current coalition government.

Informing that the government has asked all the security forces to stay alert, Gachchhadar said Nepal Army might be deployed to keep the situation under control.

He said the 12-point agreement between the Maoists and the then seven parties was signed in haste. Gachchhadar, who is chairman of the Madhesi Janadhikar Forum (Democratic) said statements such as army integration must be removed from the peace agreement.

He also claimed that efforts were being made to involve the Upendra Yadav-led Madhesi Janadhikar Forum, which has warned of a protest movement in Terai, in the current government. nepalnews.com
