PRACHANDA ENCOURAGES DALITS TO AGITATE FOR RIGHTS TGW The Nepal Communist Party-Maoists' Chairman Puspa Kamal Dahal talking at a program organized by the Dalit community in the Capital said that the Eight Party Unity is heading towards a grand failure. Prachanda said, "Within the Eight Party Alliance there are agents of Royal Palace and the Foreign power centers" adding these very forces were trying day in day out to force the Maoists to go back to the jungles. "We have to fight against their mal-intentions and will never return to the jungles", Prachanda declared with firm determination. He urged the Dalit community to organize protest programs forwarding their genuine rightful demands wherein he said the voices of the Janajatis and Madhesis are being heard because they have showed their courage to speak. Those who speak and protest are hear by the State, he pointed out. In the Program entitled "The role of dalits in New Nepal", leaders from other political parties were also present. More than 2000 People representing various Dalit organizations throughout the country are participating in the event, reports say. The program according to reports will discuss 18 different sub-topics over two days time. The findings of the discussions will be forwarded to the Eight Party Alliance and to the government, the organizer told reporters. June 17, 2007
