10 hurt as Maoists attack Pashupati temple staff

Maoists attacked the bhandaris and some local devotees in the temple premises.
Kathmandu: About 100 Maoist cadres on Sunday attacked the Pashupatinath temple caretakers who were protesting appointment of local priests in place of Indians, injuring 10 people in their latest assault on the shrine.
The attack came even as the ruling party activists faced flak after storming the temple earlier this week to install Nepalese priests defying a Supreme Court stay order on removal of Indian priests, who had been overseeing traditional rituals at the shrine for the past 300 years.
The local bhandaris, or temple caretakers, who vowed to launch a struggle to save the temple from "Maoist intrusion", faced the wrath of the partymen as they were set to organise a press conference, Kantipur online reported.
Around 100 Maoists attacked the bhandaris and some local devotees in the temple premises, injuring 10 people, including a member of the state-owned Nepal Television crew.
The fresh assault came hours after Prime Minister Pushpa Kamal Dahal 'Prachanda' said he did not intend to displace the South Indian 'Bhatta' brahmins, who had overseen rituals at the temple for the past 300 years.
The appointment of Nepalese priests in place of Indians was a "mere coincidence" and not targeted at the latter, Prachanda said adding, the issue has been "pointlessly politicised".

Bombs Explode Ahead of Rally in Nepal
By BINAJ GURUBACHARYA – 7 hours ago
KATMANDU, Nepal (AP) — A series of explosions rocked a southern Nepalese city on Wednesday where the nation's main political parties planned to hold a mass election rally, officials said.
One man on a bicycle was injured by a blast in the main market of Birgunj, about 100 miles south of Katmandu, said the chief government administrator in the area, Bhola Siwakoti. He was hospitalized in stable condition.
No one was injured in several other minor explosions aimed at disrupting the rally, Siwakoti said.
Three suspects were arrested, he said, adding that security had been stepped up in the area.
"We have policemen guarding every corner of the city and all the entry points," he said.
Senior leaders of the seven-party ruling alliance were to address the rally later Wednesday.
Several ethnic rights groups earlier called a general strike in the area to try to disrupt the rally and were suspected of involvement in the explosions, Siwakoti said.
The groups are demanding greater autonomy in southern Nepal, more seats in the national legislature and a guaranteed number of representatives in the administration.
Since early last year, minority groups have been organizing strikes, transportation shutdowns and demonstrations in the south to demand greater recognition of their rights. Some of the protests have turned violent, leaving at least 80 people dead.
Many southerners say their region has been neglected in favor of the more populated north.
The government announced earlier this month that an election to create a Constituent Assembly to map the country's political future will be held April 10. The election is a key part of Nepal's peace process, in which communist rebels gave up a decade-long armed revolt.
The assembly is to rewrite the constitution and determine the Himalayan nation's future political system.
More than 13,000 people were killed in the decade-long communist insurgency.

Violence 'escalating' in southern Nepal
2 hours ago
KATHMANDU (AFP) — Communal unrest in southern Nepal is worsening and authorities need to act quickly to prevent all-out violence, police and rights activists said.
The unrest in the Indian border district of Kapilvastu erupted after the murder this week of local Muslim politician Mohid Khan who headed an anti-Maoist vigilante group during Nepal's civil war.
Police said clashes in the impoverished Terai lowlands had left at least 22 people dead.
"People are being terrorised. The attacks are taking the shape of communal violence," district police deputy superintendent Kuber Kadayat told AFP from the area, around 230 kilometres (145 miles) southwest of Kathmandu.
"The death toll could rise still further as police are yet to reach remote villages where there have been reports of violent clashes in the past few days," said another local official, Narendra Dahal.
News reports said the warring parties in the area had divided along political, religious and ethnic lines.
"There was a tussle between Khan's supporters and Maoists because of past antagonism," the Nepali Times wrote Friday.
It said violence had also broken out between Pahadis, or hill people who have settled in the Terai, and ethnic Mahadhesi natives of the lowlands. The paper said there was also "potential this would turn into a Hindu-Muslim riot".
At least 100 people have been killed in the Terai region this year, clouding a peace deal reached late last year between the government and the Maoists.
Around a dozen armed ethnic groups have emerged who say they are fighting for greater autonomy for the Terai, home to around half Nepal's 27 million people who have long been sidelined by Nepal's Pahadi-dominated elite.
The head of a leading local rights group said the situation was a "serious human tragedy".
"The government has not been able to maintain law and order," said Kundan Aryal, general secretary of the Informal Sector Service Centre (INSEC).
"Both Muslim and Hindu community people have been affected and we think some criminal elements are taking advantage of the situation. There is a danger that communal disturbances could spread in other areas if the government doesn't take prompt action," said Aryal, who visited the area Thursday.

Prachanda’s son on China tour

Prachanda ... building bridges with China
KATHMANDU: When they fought their 10-year 'People's War' inspired by Chinese leader Mao Zedong's teaching that power comes "out of the barrels of a gun", Nepal's Maoist guerrillas were condemned by Beijing for "bringing disrepute" to their great leader. But now Maoist supremo Prachanda's son is on a China tour on the invitation of the country's intellectuals.
Ever since the insurgents made their peace with the Nepal government and became a dominant partner in the ruling coalition, Beijing has been doing some quick re-thinking on its Maoist policy.
As a sign of that, the son of Maoist supremo Prachanda on Thursday flew to Hong Kong en route to visiting Beijing and Shanghai, just a day after China's new ambassador to Nepal said Beijing was yet to establish formal relations with the rebels.
Prakash, whose rise in the party created heartburns in the past, began acting as his father Prachanda's armed bodyguard after the guerrillas came overground following the peace pact. Prakash is accompanied by top Maoist army "general", Barsha Man Pun, better known as Ananta, on his China trip.
Though the Maoists' People's Liberation Army soldiers have been corralled in seven cantonments, its top "generals" or deputy commanders however are outside, including in parliament, after having been "transferred' by their party in other departments.
Prakash and Ananta are visiting the Chinese cities on the invitation of a group of Chinese intellectuals, who, in state-controlled China, have to be endorsed by the government.
While there is talk of Prachanda himself and Prime Minister Girija Prasad Koirala having been invited to China, the Maoist young brigade is already on its way to paper the rift between their party and the country that's been their ideological mother.
The Maoist "crown prince's" visit came a day after the new Chinese ambassador to Nepal, Zheng Xianglin, said his government was yet to establish formal relations with the Maoists, earlier branded as "anti-government forces” by Beijing. China earlier has sold weapons to King Gyanendra's royal regime to battle the insurgents.
“However, the Maoists are now part of the coalition government,” Zheng said. “We have to have dialogue and contact with all government officials, including the Maoists.”
Beijing is stepping up its overtures to Kathmandu following sweeping changes since last year after King Gyanendra had to step down due to an uprising.
Next month, a Chinese delegation would arrive in Kathmandu to discuss economic cooperation. Later, a second delegation would come to discuss political and diplomatic issues.
Currently, China is building a civil servants' hospital in Kathmandu, a polytechnic, roads and an ayurvedic centre.
The Maoists however hold no grudge against Mao's country for the earlier cold shoulder.
“We want to have harmonious relations with both our neighbours India and China,” Maoist leader C P Gajurel, current head of the party’s foreign division, had earlier told the media. – IANS

Nepal Town Closed After Blast Kills Ethnic Indian
Monday 25th of June 2007 An ethnic Indian was killed in Nepal's turbulent Terai plains in a bomb blast hours after the government announced a fresh election date and said it had full confidence the security situation would improve.
Arun Jaiswal, in his 40s, was killed Sunday night when a bomb went off in Malangawa, the main town in Sarlahi district in the Terai plains.
The bomb was planted near a temple, police said. Till Monday morning, no one had claimed responsibility for the blast. An unnamed man was arrested during search operations and he was said to be carrying a firearm.
Angry residents shut down Malangawa town, demanding that the culprits be brought to book. Schools and markets remained closed while transport had thinned visibly.
The death comes even as four other districts in the Terai - Saptari, Sunsari, Morang and Udaypur - remained paralysed following a closure called by the Maoists.
The rebels called a three-day shutdown in Saptari and an indefinite closure in the other three districts from Sunday to protest against the killing of one of their local leaders.
Govinda Chaudhari was killed Saturday by the Janatatrik Terai Mukti Morcha, a band of former Maoists who broke away from the parent party to wage a separate armed struggle in the plains.
This month alone, six Maoists have been killed in Terai.
Since this year, shutdowns, abductions, extortions and killings have become commonplace occurrence in the Terai where at least nine armed groups are said to be becoming increasingly active.
The government could not hold the constituent assembly election on June 20 due to the worsening security situation, especially in the Terai. Since this year, nearly 90 people have been killed in the Terai.
On Sunday, the government announced the stalled election would now be held on Nov 22.
Meanwhile, Prime Minister Girija Prasad Koirala met Sudhindra Bhadoriya, chairman of the South Asian Forum for Peoples Initiatives (SAFPI) here and told him arrangements were being made to beef up security to ensure a free and fair poll.
'There is no alternative to holding the election on Nov 22,' Koirala told the activist

UN says Nepal Maoists have stepped up violence, abduction
Jun 23, 2007, 13:07 GMT
Kathmandu - Maoist former rebels have stepped up their violent activities and abductions in recent months creating a climate of fear, the United Nations human rights office in Nepal said Saturday.
The United Nations Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR) in Nepal said the Communist Party of Nepal - Maoist (CPN-M) and its youth wing Young Communist League (YCL) were involved in abductions, ill-treatment in captivity, physical attacks and the violent disruption of political activities and other types of abuse.
'OHCHR-Nepal has noted with concern that reports of YCL and other CPN-M abuses have started to increase again particularly since mid- April this year,' a statement said.
'Some 24 people have been abducted since May 28 alone, interrogated, in some cases beaten and threatened before being released or handed over to police after a short period in captivity.'
The OHCHR-Nepal said the abuse violated international human rights law, the peace agreement between the government and the former rebels and domestic laws.
OHCHR said: 'The human rights abuses committed by the YCL are contributing to a climate of fear and intimidation and were restricting legitimate political, journalistic and other activities particularly related to freedom of expression and assembly.'
The latest UN criticism of the Maoists and its youth wing came amid growing public concerns over their activities despite the party joining the government.
The Maoists have defended the YCL activities by accusing its detractors of trying to undermine the Maoist party by highlighting 'isolated incidences' and ignoring the social work it undertakes.
Many political observers also believe that a large number of YCL members are actually hardcore guerillas who fought a decade-long insurgency against government forces.
In early May, Maoist chairman Prachanda announced that the YCL would be expanded to include half a million members despite growing criticism of its activities.
The Maoists fought a decade-long war on government security forces to transform Nepal into a communist republic. Nearly 15,000 people died in the fighting. The signing of a Comprehensive Peace Agreement with the Nepalese government in November 2006 formally ended the fighting.
Under the agreement, the Maoist fighters were confined to seven cantons and 21 satellite camps across Nepal and paved the way for the Maoists to join mainstream politics.
The Maoists became part of the government on April 1 and have five full ministers in Nepal's interim government.
