Embassador of Japan to Nepal, Mitsuyaki Kojima, has called the Maoist movement in Nepal as ‘violent activity’ and has suggested them to come under the democratic procedure and take part in the election.

He was speaking at the Interface programme of the Reports’ Club Nepal on Thursday.

He also said the minority Maoists’ activity of infringing upon the right of the majority people can not be called as correct.

Because of the Maoists’ activities, Japan had to take its hands off from several projects, he said.

He said he has felt that democratic process is getting strengthened in Nepal. “Although Nepal has everything to curb corruption, but they are not being used properly,” he said.
