By KTM Metro Reporter in Kathmandu
On October 22, 2008, after US Ambassador Nancy Powell’s meeting with Prime Minister Prachanda, his foreign affairs advisor Hira Bahadur Thapa disclosed to the reporters that the US Government has initiated the process of taking the Maoists off the US terror-watch list. The process is a time-taking one even in the US for unknown reasons.
During his recent visit to New York to attend UN General Assembly Prime Minister Prachanda must have convinced the officials of the US government that the Maoists’ party is a serious political party working for the rule of law and multi-party democracy non-violently.
However, acting president of the Nepali Congress (NC) Sushil Koirala said that the Maoist leaders have failed to assure the international community that they are for democracy, multi-party system, human rights and freedom of the press according to the Nepalnews.com ia Oct 21 08
