Pitiful and outrageous act of Maoists

In the beginning when Maoist took up arms, the regime then decided that they could be crushed so did not negotaite and treated them like a joke. Tides has turned now and the Maoists are poised to share power with the seven parties. What do they do when they come to power? They have adapted the same pitiful and disgusting attitude that the previous regime took. Here is the news from THT today.

Maoist Cadres Thrash MJF Activists in Bhairahawa

Bhairahawa, January 26
Maoist cadres disrupted a protest programme organised by the Madheshi Janaadhikar Forum (MJF), Rupandehi, in Bhairahawa on Thursday. They beat up MJF cadres Chandrika Yadav and Mahendra Yadav, took them around the city and chased other MJF cadres. Chadrika and Mahendra sustained critical injuries on their heads. "The Maoists exhibited their real character by beating us," Chandrika Yadav said. "Though we had called MJF cadres not to organise programmes that upset communal harmony and peace, they went ahead with such a programme. That is why the programme was disrupted," a district member of the CPN (Maoist), Ghanashyam Yadav, said.

It seems that the Maoists think that they are the only group who have the right to dissent and take up arms. And they seem to believe that Nepal can function without the Terai's participation as an integral part of Nepal. Here is my message to these misguided people:

Dissent cannot stopped by violence. It did not work against you, and it will not work againt others if you err like your predecessor.
