UML SAYS BABURAM BHATTARAI GOVT ANTI-NATIONL, ANTI-PEOPLE Kathmandu, 26 Aug.: Opposition UML’s parliamentary department in a written four-page report Sunday called the government of Prime Minister Baburam Bhattarai ‘anti national and anti-people”. The report was released coinciding with the first anniversary of the eletion of Bhattarai as government head. During Investment Year 2012 , direct foreign investment has declined, MML’s senor leader Bharat Mohan Adhikari told reporters at party headquarters. “What happened to peace and the constitution?” he asked and added ,’ There was no development.” Adhikari belittled Bhattarai and said the only contribution of Premier Bhattarai in one year was to hang his portrait for record in Singha Durbar. nnnn FIVE KILLED IN RENEWED ASSAM VIOLENCE Kathmandu, 26Aug.: Five Muslims were murdered in northeast India by an armed gang from the ethnic Bodo community in fresh violence, after more than a month of clashes, police said Sunday, AFP reports from Guwahati.. "A group of seven Muslim villagers in two vehicles were returning home from a relief camp when they came under attack," said Sanjit Krishna, police chief of the western Chirang district, in Assam state. Five were found dead near Choudhurypara village, about 220 kilometres (130 miles) from Assam's main city of Guwahati, while police are trying to trace the other two. The party had apparently been trying to reach their village after a few days of calm in the area and had dared to venture out on Saturday from their guarded government relief camp. An estimated 90 people have died and 400,000 people from both communities are taking refuge in camps spread across four western Assamese districts of Chirang, Kokrajhar, Dhubri and Baksa. In a separate incident early on Sunday, four Muslim villagers were wounded in an attack by tribal Bodos in Kokrajhar. The wave of violence, a recurrence of problems that have plagued the volatile region for decades, has had far-reaching consequences in India. Rumours that migrants from the northeast, who travel widely in India to study or work, would be attacked by Muslims in retaliation for the violence in Assam saw tens of thousands flee southern cities such as Bangalore. The government has since unveiled wide-ranging efforts to counter Internet content seen as fanning the panic, with orders given to block hundreds of websites and webpages. The orders even covered material found on the websites of reputed media organisations such as Australia's ABC network or London's The Daily Telegraph, leading to allegations of censorship. The government also ordered the blocking of half a dozen fake Twitter accounts mimicking the prime minister and targeted two journalists. nnnn
