Maoist chairman Prachanda has accused that armed Indian Hindu extremists who had come from across the border were involved in the Gaur bloodshed on Wednesday where 28 persons – mostly Maoist members – were killed.

Issuing a statement on Thursday, Prachanda has also accused that the attack was a result of conspiracy hatched by royalist reactionaries; Indian Hindu extremists and expansionists; and anti-peace regressive elements.

Prachanda has also accused that weapons distributed to the anti-Maoist groups in the past were used in the incident.

“There is no doubt that behind this Rautahat massacre is conspiracy and master plan by Indian Hindu extremists, foreign and royalist regressive forces who don’t want peace, democracy and progress and who want to derail eight party understanding, and Constituent Assembly elections,” Prachanda has stated.
