Kathmandu, June 15: Prime Minister Girija Prasad Koirala has urged the Maoists to immediately stop the massacre of the unarmed, helpless and humble people.

Talking to RSS representative here today, Prime Minister Koirala said killing of poor farmers, teachers and political workers in the villages is not a revolution nor is such an act in the interest of anyone.

His Majesty’s Government has fully authorised the Maoist Problem Resolution High Level Committee headed by ex-prime minister Sher Bahadur Deuba to build an atmosphere for dialogue with the Maoists and find ways to resolve the problem, he said.

In reply to a question, the Prime Minister said a hullabaloo on the street and media propaganda do not help build an atmosphere of effective dialogue. “I believe in action and result, not in propaganda,” he added.

Mr Koirala also stressed the need for journalists to contribute to motivating those engaged in killings and violence to find a solution to the problems through dialogue. Killings and violence are never in the interest of the country, the people and democracy, he added.

The Prime Minister also asked all political parties, civil society, intellectuals and the people in general to eschew prejudices of any kind and contribute from their respective places to resolving the serious problems facing the country today.

Replying to a question, Prime Minister Koirala said he is very sensitive to law and order issue and the preservation and promotion of the interest of the country, the people and democracy.
