Kathmandu: In what could be considered as a regular bulletin of the Maoists insurgency sent apparently to all major newspapers of the country, the Maoists have for the first time forwarded their comments on the King’s Biratnagar trip.

The Volume 1, Number 43 dated January 9 bulletin has no good words for the King and his trip to Biratnagar.

Instead, the Maoists quarter believes that their sponsored bundh that coincided with King’s Biratnagar sojourn remained a grand success.

The bulletin maintains that granting royal audience to Madhav Nepal in the recent days and the latter’s taking an abrupt U turn from the proposed movement called by major parliamentary forces were all but a part of the conspiracy to weaken the forces participating in the movement.

The bulletin adds that though there has not been an encouraging trend in the political parties to jointly oppose the royal move forging total unity amongst themselves but yet the prospects for such a movement is not altogether bleak.
