Prachanda directs party organisation to end para military activities of YCL

Maoist chairman Prachanda has directed the party organisation, fronts and departments to immediately control the para military structure and activities of the Young Communist League.

In a statement issued by him, Prachanda has also directed his party organisation to return all the seized lands and properties of government and private individuals.

Soon after the Ministry of Peace and Reconstruction stated that it would use Rs 3.35 billion in the Peace Trust Fund made available by the World Bank in the payment of outstanding salaries of PLA combatants in cantonments and to provide relief to conflict victims, Prachanda issued the statement.

"Recently, we have received positive information about initiative by Peace Ministry regarding the cantonments and relief. Along with the implementation of commitments by the state, we will also earnestly implement our side of the agreement. As such, we want to direct the party organisation, fronts, departments and YCL to implement the agreement to control the paramilitary activities of YCL and return the lands and properties seized from government and private individuals during the conflict period. I also urge for cooperation from general public in this regard," Prachanda states in the statement.

The statement has come at a time when Maoist is forging alliance with Nepali Congress, UML and Madhesi Janadhikar Forum to form the new government under its leadership.
