Terrorist Atrocities Continue in Nepal

 

TERRORISTS have once again shown their true face by attacking and

killing innocent civilians in different parts of the country. Only

recently, the terrorists attacked Malangawa, the headquarters of

Sarlahi district, but our brave security personnel foiled their

sinister attempts and protected the lives and property of the

people. If the security forces had not been active and alert, the

terrorists would have caused more damage to people?s property. For

this, the security forces deserve commendation. The terrorists have

been restoring to killing, kidnapping and intimidating people

despite their so-called claim of carrying out activities in the

interest of the people. The only objective of the terrorists is to

achieve their sinister goal by terrorising people and destroying

public property. So the ongoing terrorism must be condemned by all,

and there should be a collective endeveour to fight against

terrorism. Only then can democracy be safeguarded, human rights and

the rule of law maintained and national interest protected. National

unity and solidarity are, thus, needed at this crucial juncture,

which alone can serve our broader national interest.

 

At a time when the terrorists are launching their brutal attack

against the state, some political parties have forged an alliance

with them. This is against the national interest of Nepal. The

intention of the terrorists is clear, as they want to create chaos

and anarchy in the country. The brutal attack in Malangawa is a

testimony of the sinister design and motive of the terrorists. Now

all other political forces must be alert against the design of the

terrorists. The unholy alliance between the terrorists and the seven

political parties has given recognition to the terrorists and

further encouraged them to carry out terrorist activities against

humanity, democracy and civic culture. The seven political parties

need to realise this fact and break their relationship with the

terrorists. The time has come for the political parties either to

endorse the activities being carried out by the terrorists or

condemn them. There is no third choice. They have to make a

decision: either they should support them or condemn them. Against

this background, Minister of State for Information and Communication

Shrish Sumsher Rana has rightly observed that the Maoists are

terrorists and that they have not abandoned the path of violence and

terrorism. As the Maoists continue with their terrorist activities,

the alliance between the terrorists and the seven political parties

is also a tactical move to further consolidate the strength of the

terrorists. And in this, the implication of the seven parties is

clear.
