Govt is set to foil seven-party agitation: Home Minister

Home Minister Kamal Thapa has said the government is fully prepared to crack down on the pre-scheduled four-day general strike of the seven opposition parties beginning April 6.
“The government will take strong steps to contain the general strike and other protest programmes of the parties. Since the Maoists are also involved in the general strike, the government must foil it,” Thapa said at a programme organised in Lalitpur on Tuesday to welcome the cadres of Nepal Samata Party (Samajbadi) who joined his Rastriya Prajatra Party (Thapa).
The Home Minister claimed that there was a “very dangerous Maoist conspiracy” behind the protest programmes called by the seven parties. He also insisted that the parties were playing into the hands of the rebels.
The government, however, would use “minimum force” to foil the seven parties’ protest programmes, Thapa said, without explaining what he meant by minimum force.
Thapa also made it a point to slam the Maoist statement to observe ceasefire in the Kathmandu Valley. “The ceasefire is nothing but a subterfuge. There is a dangerous conspiracy behind it,” he said and added that Monday’s Maoist statement was nothing but propaganda.
The Home Minister’s views came as the opposition alliance continued sporadic protests in Kathmandu during which over two dozen leaders and activists were arrested.
In an attempt to thwart the pre-scheduled mass demonstration of the alliance in the capital, the district administrations of Kathmandu and Lalitpur today announced indefinite prohibitory orders within Rind Road area with effect from Wednesday.

Govt bans public gatherings in capital
The district administration offices of Kathmandu and Lalitpur on Tuesday issued sweeping orders banning all kinds of public gatherings in areas within the Ring Road.
According to separate statements issued by the DAOs of Lalitpur and Kathmandu, the ban will be in place from Wednesday, just a day before the seven-party alliance’s pre-scheduled four-day general strike and capital-centred political showdown.
Student and youth leaders associated with the agitating seven mainstream political parties have said they will answer fittingly if the government resorts to draconian measures to foil the alliance’s peaceful general strike scheduled for 6 to 9 April in the capital.
Last week, Home Minister Kamal Thapa had said that the government would foil the upcoming parties’ four-day nationwide general strike, “at any cost”.
Yesterday, in a sign of support for the peaceful general strike and demonstrations, Maoist rebels announced to halt any “military action” in the Kathmandu Valley with effect from Monday evening.
The statements issued by the chief district officers of the two districts said the ban was imposed due to the increasing violence and unruly activities in several parts of the Kathmandu Metropolis and Lalitpur Sub Metropolis.
In a statement issued yesterday, Chairman of the Communist Party of Nepal-Maoist (CPN-M), Prachanda alias Pushpa Kamal Dahal, said his party had decided to “halt all kinds of military actions in the Kathmandu Valley “keeping in view the requests made by the seven parties and civil society groups and also to expose the claims by the royal government that the Maoists were planning to infiltrate the protest programmes organized by the SPA.”
On Jan. 20, the government had imposed ban orders and a daylong curfew to foil the alliance’s political showdown.
Meanwhile some days ago the main Nepalese Trade Union Gefont decided the full support of the nation wide general strike.
