Disgruntled Maoist cadres burnt effigies of their party supremo Prachanda in southern Nepal's Rautahat district. The effigy was burnt over the issue of nominating representatives from Madhesi and Dalit communities to the Constituent Assembly (CA).
For the first time, cadres from Dalit and Madhesi communities burnt effigies of Prachanda and other leaders at Gaur and Shivapura areas on Saturday accusing them of sidelining them while nominating CA members under the Proportionate Representation (PR) system, The Himalayan Times and the Nepal Samacharpatra reported.
Hundreds of cadres staged a rally from their party district office and raised slogans like ''Down with Prachanda'', ''Long Live Madhesi Unity'', according to the dailies. Later, they burnt the effigies of party chief Prachanda, newly elected CA member from the district Prabhu Shah, and district in-charge of the party Haribhakta Kandel.
| And the day after Prachanda seizes final power, these guys will be rounded up and shot for being 'deviationists'. Or Trotskyites. Or something. |
