India quietly refused to negotiate with Nepal Maoists
The Nepal Maoists are not seeking mediation by India, says their leader. Sources in Delhi indicate that Government of India has listened to the Maoists in Nepal and has quietly refused change its stands whatsoever.
According to media sources from Nepal and India, Prachanda, the chairman of CPN [Communist Party of Nepal]-Maoist, said in a statement "We have not asked any country to mediate for holding talks with the old regime (the royal government".
The statement came in the wake of media reports that former chief Maoist negotiator Baburam Bhattarai met CPI(M) general secretary Prakash Karat in Delhi recently, which Karat had denied.
Prachanda said the party had sent Bhattarai and Maoist spokesman Krishna Bahadur Mahara to India only to "help consolidate the ongoing democratic movement".
The Maoist party is committed in its earlier stand of mediation by the United Nations or any neutral organization or country to find a solution to the ongoing strife, he said.
Alleging that efforts are on to "split" the Maoist party by "reactionary forces", he also talked about forging an understanding with civil society, intellectuals and political parties against the "authoritarian rule" imposed on 1 February by the Nepal king.
