govt. clashes in West Bengal

By Bhola B Rana

Kathmandu, 21 Sept: Many persons were killed overnight in clashes between Naxalites or Indian Maoists and supporters on the ruling communist government in the Indian state of West Bengal overnight, reports from Kolkata said.
The clashes interest Nepalis because Indians gave shelter, supported and sent thousands of Nepali sheltered Maoists across the 1,700km border in April 2005 to topple 238-year-old monarchy and create the current chaos in Nepal.
Indian state and federal rulers are refusing to negotiate with their Maoists while imposing then on a neighbouring country demonstrating double standards of New Delhi.
Nepal’s Maoists have links with Naxalites whose movement started near the border at Jhapa.
India charges neighbouring countries of anti-Indian elements while she provides shelter and protection and encouragement to dissidents of neighbours.
More that 6,000 persons have been killed in the Naxalite insurgency described by Prime Minister Manmohan Singh as worse than the Kashmir or north-east state insurgencies.
