The ongoing nationwide agitation of the UCPN (Maoist) is meant to bring the former rebels back to power instead of upholding 'civilian supremacy' as is being said, a government minister claimed on Tuesday.
State Minister of Home Affairs Rizwan Ansari also accused the UCPN-Maoist of trying to back-track from the peace process because of its lust for power.
Minister Ansari, who was speaking at a programme in eastern Nepal city of Janakpurdham, further claimed that the ongoing Maoist protests is adversely affecting the people of the country and the government will clamp down on it if it threatens to disrupt civilian life.
He also said that the government will go to any length to maintain law and order in the country and directed the police force to remain on alert to control criminal activities and improve security situation. Ansari also urged the armed outfits operating in Terai region to renounce violence and come to the negotiating table. nepalnews.com
