Kathmandu, Jan. 23: The high level committee formed to resolve the Maoist problem under the convenorship of former prime minister and leader of the Nepali Congress Sher Bahadur Deuba  held informal talks with the representatives of the Rastriya Janamorcha (RJ)  here today.

Those participating in the talks on behalf of the committee were convenor Sher Bahadur Deuba, and members Ram Chandra Poudel, Minister for Works and Transport Khum Bahadur Khadka, Minister for Local Development and Women and Social Welfare Chiranjivi Wagle and member secretary Dr. Prakash Sharan Mahat, whereas those participating on behalf of the Rastriya Janamorcha were general secretary and mp Nawaraj Subedi, mp Dila Ram Acharya, central advisor Govinda Singh Thapa and central secretary Himlal Puri.

At the end of the talks general secretary Subedi   told reporters that one cannot describe the demands of the Maoists as of anarchist nature,  but since their present activities have deviated  from the norms of the communist movement  his party  doesn’t agree with them.

He said the maoist activities are not relevant to the present context, adding the maoist problem had arisen from the wrong security policy of the then government and the wrong social and economic activities.
