According to Nepal News, cadres of the Communist Party of Nepal-Maoist (CPN-Maoist) assaulted police personnel at a police post in the remote Piplang village of Humla district on August 2. They were protesting against the arrest of one of their comrades, identified as Nanda. Earlier, the police had arrested Nanda on the charge of killing Netra Bahadur Shahi, a Nepali Congress-Democratic activist, who was abducted on March 10 and whose dead body was recovered a few days back. The Maoists also forced the Sub-Inspector of Police to sign a document detailing the release of the detained Maoist activist, adds Kantipuronline. "They released the policemen only after making the sub-inspector sign the document," said Assistant Chief District Officer Rajesh Poudel.

About 50 Maoist cadres from Nuwakot district have revolted against the Communist Party of Nepal-Maoists (CPN-Maoists) leadership and formed a splinter group, The Hindu reports. Raj Kumar Regmi, the leader of the splinter group, told local media persons over the phone that they had set up an underground Janvadi Yuva Samuha (Communist Youth Group). “We have formed a 21-member central committee,” Regmi said and claimed that over 50 Maoist youths had joined the rebel group. Earlier, the group had looted arms and ammunition from Fikuri police post in the same district on August 9. This is the fourth group to have split from the CPN-Maoists over the past two years. The two factions of Jana Tantrik Mukti Morcha (JTMM) are the most formidable among the splinter groups and have already killed 48 persons in the southern plains of Nepal.

Meanwhile, Maoist chairman Prachanda has said that his party will decide, within 10 days, whether to remain in the interim government, according to Nepal News. Addressing a press conference in Kathmandu on August 12, Prachanda said there was little moral ground for remaining in the government. He said the conclusion of the August 3-10 plenum was that the party should launch a peaceful movement after quitting the government. “The Maoist will not have any other option than to quit the government and launch peaceful movement if regressive forces continue to hatch plots,” he said. “There is no possibility of holding Constituent Assembly election without declaring a republic,” he added. He, however, said that they would not boycott the Constituent Assembly elections even if the eight parties do not agree on a republican set up. “Even if there is no consensus among the eight parties on a republic and proportional electoral system, we will not boycott the polls,” Prachanda said.

Cadres of the Maoist affiliated Young Communist League (YCL) on August 14 attempted to abduct the Dristi weekly’s journalist Madhav Basnet from his office and threatened to kill him, Nepal News reported. A group of about 12 YCL cadres entered the Bagbazar office of the weekly and asked Basnet to accompany them. However, after Basnet telephoned YCL’s central coordinator Ganesh Man Pun, the cadres reportedly left. Journalist Basnet had left the Maoist party three years ago. He said the YCL cadres tried to abduct him after he declined the offer from the party to rejoin the organization. Issuing a statement, Editor of Dristi weekly Shambhu Shrestha denounced the incident, saying, "The YCL activities has seriously flouted press freedom." The Maoists had also encircled the office of the weekly on orders of YCL central member Prabhat and Solokhumbu coordinator Rajendra, the report added.

Stating that it is futile to rush through a meaningless election, Maoist chairman Prachanda has proposed to postpone the Constituent Assembly election till mid-April 2008. Addressing a meeting in the capital Kathmandu on August 24, Prachanda said that elections cannot be held in an atmosphere of pressure. "There are pressures and calls for holding election anyhow. In such an atmosphere, the CA will not resolve nation's problems," he said. "We are in favour of real CA for which thousands of people of Nepal had made ultimate sacrifice. We cannot support when moves are made to hold election as if we are electing a parliament or National Panchayat (legislature of erstwhile Panchayat regime)," Prachanda added. He also pointed out that while his party was in a strong position in June, the polls were postponed and now when his party is trapped in a difficult situation, they were rushing through the election. "When there was a wave in favour of our party, the elections were put off under various pretexts. And when they think that our party has landed in trouble, the very same elements are now saying that election must be held at any cost," he said.

The Maoists issued a statement expressing "deep disagreement and objection" to the accord signed between the Government and Madheshi Janaadhikar Forum (MJF) on August 30, according to Himalayan Times. The statement said that the agreement is "extremely objectionable, flawed, deceptive and conspiratorial" in both the content and procedures adopted. The Maoists said that the Government has made a "deplorable" effort to fool the Madheshi people and establish one group or person politically, particularly when many of the issues mentioned in the 22-point accord have been incorporated in the comprehensive peace agreement as well as in the interim constitution. They also appealed to all parties struggling for liberation of the Madheshi people to move forward in a united manner.
