“Negotiation is done with political forces, not with criminals and gangsters. The Janadhikar Forum and the likes are being given undue importance. They are people who ran away from our party. We know who they are and who are dictating them,” an agitated Prachanda said talking to reporters at the Prime Minister’s tea reception.
He claimed the violence in Siraha was perpetrated by royalist ‘infiltrators’ and that he had informed the government two months earlier about the possible attempts of royalists to create unrest in Terai region.
