The Maoist have increased their activities in the recent days. Their main aim could be to take revenge of the “search operation” introduced by the police as the operation was effective to control Maoist terror, Maoists have shown their aggressive attitude.

The Maoist have taken extreme attitude after the killing of their alternative member of the central committee of the party, Suresh Wagle and disappearance  several of their influential leaders including Bishnu Pukar Shrestha. Maoists even destroyed local people’s property at the Mahat village in Rukum after the death of wagle.

They have also announced that they would organise a countrywide bandh (closure) on October 7. They have already deployed trained commandos in Kathmandu valley and other cities to made the bandh successfuly.

On Tuesday, Maoists even organised a corner rally at Thahiti, at the heart of the capital, openly challenging the security management of the country. Posters urging people to make the October 7 bandh have also appeared at different places in the valley. But, the police have not been able to arrest a single Maoists in the Valley. The Maoist have also launched people’s mobilization programmes against the proposed ‘black’ Act.

They are also launching ‘people’s action’ programme this week. The aim of this programme is said to murder top level politicians and workers especially of the Nepali Congress as a revenge for Wagle death.

Accordingly, they have also plans to kill or kidnap high government officials or their families to make the government release the Maoists arrested by the police. Meanwhile, there is a possibility of the nine Left parties, including the ML, supporting the October 7 bandh called by the Maoists.
