A family member of Singh Prasad Gurung, who was killed in a blast outside Lalitpur-based Ncell office on February 22, wants the Government to act against the Netra Bikram Chand-led Communist Party of Nepal (CPN), which has owned up to the blast, reports The Himalayan Times on February 26. “My brother was killed for no fault of his. Unless the government reins in the Chand-led outfit, many more innocent people could lose their lives in such terrorist acts,” said the victim’s elder brother Shyam Prasad Gurung. Criminal lawyer Lav Kumar Mainali said CPN was spreading terror mainly because its cadres and leaders enjoyed political protection. “Home Minister Ram Bahadur Thapa’s admission that Chand-led faction was treated leniently in the past shows that the outfit enjoyed political protection,” Mainali added. Asked if the Government was preparing to declare CPN a terrorist organisation, Home Ministry Spokesperson Ram Krishna Subedi said there were enough laws to deal with acts of terror committed by the Chand-led outfit.
