demonstrations
The Nepali Congress is in the government and Nepali Congress activists are being killed more or less everyday by Maoists.

The country is burning with the Maoist problemhe Maoists are enjoying the opportunity of expanding and enhancing their strength from west to the east.

The Maoists are everywhere
Maoist goals The daily and weekly newspapers are publishing Maoist-related news every day. The underground Maoist insurgents are the talk of the town. Local people say that Maoists are doing good work. They are punishing notorious people in the society. Maoists gave punishment to a girl-trafficker. Also, they caught timber smugglers, seized the timber and handed over that to a school.

They forcefully stopped Sanskrit course and singing the national anthem in government and private schools.

Instead of our national anthem, they have introduced a popular national song authored by Madhab Ghimire "Gauncha geet Nepali jyotiko pankha uchali, jai, jai, jai Nepal, sundara shanta vishal" (Nepalese sing the song rising light high; great, great and great Nepal - beautiful, peace and the great!) In Jhapa, even the private schools have started singing the national song discarding the national anthem. Feudal class in the society is bound to pay compulsory donation to Maoists. The Maoists are developing base areas in eastern hills and the terai too.

Assuming the Maoist rule!

Intellectuals in the capital talk about Maoists with keen interest. Their opipion is that the Maoists are doing better than the present government. If Maoists go forward in the present speed of walk, within five years, they will capture the country. They further assume: "In the People's Democratic Republic of Nepal, Comrade Prachanda (newly appointed Chairman of the Central Committee of the Nepal Communist Party (Maoists)). Dr. Baburam Bhattarai may be the prime minister at that time. The "great enemies" India, America and other European countries will not recognise their rule here. Also, Maoists will not seek recognition from these countries; nevertheless, they wish recognition at least from China and North Korea.
