Preparation is underway to bring out a ‘black act’ targeted in controlling the Maoists. During the tenure of Bam Dev Gautam as home minister, the government then had  tried to bring out the act. But, it was because of the strong opposition from within the parliament and outside, the effort was suspended.

Again, it was because of the strong opposition from the CPN-UML, the then Home Minister Khum Bahadur Khadka also did not bring the act. But present Home Minister has been trying to bring out the act. The people fear such an act.

Meanwhile UML leaders have said they are trying to make all the parties united against the black act.
