Nepal's Maoists denounce "expansionist" India, "imperialist" US. KATHMANDU -- Maoist chief Puspa Kamal Dahal, alias Prachand, blasted the United States and Britain for their strikes on Afghanistan, which began Sunday in response to the ruling Taliban's refusal to hand over Saudi dissident Osama bin Laden, accused of masterminding the September 11 attacks on New York and Washington. Prachand said the United States was "trying to weaken the people's liberation war in the regional countries by describing it as a terrorist movement. It is trying to spread its imperialism there." "This aim of the American and British governments, however, will prove only a dream," Prachand warned. Meanwhile, the Nepal Communist Party-United Marxist and Leninist (NCP-UML), the main opposition party in parliament, Tuesday cautiously endorsed the US military action. Nepal's top Maoist rebel also demanded Tuesday that the government stop cooperation with India and the United States, which it said were out to oppress the people of South Asia. "If the government continues its conspiracy and policy of suppressing the people's war with the support of the American imperialists and Indian expansionists, it will itself have to bear serious consequences," Prachand, said in a statement after a meeting of the Nepalese Maoist politburo. Prachand condemned Jaswant Singh, foreign minister of "the expansionist government of the Indian capitalist class," for last month dubbing Nepal's Maoists a terrorist group. "Our party denounces this announcement and views this as the climax of the Indian conspiracy against the Nepalese people," Prachand said, calling for a "struggle against the Indian ruling class which is seeking to oppress the countries of South Asia." . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
