Madheshis have tried to put up an open resistance against Maoists now. A recent show off at Gaur town resulted in killing of 35, mostly armed maoists. As a result Maoists are on the run, but may (and I am afraid will, see below Jagran news) retailate in more violence in areas of their stronghold. In the meanwhile, exploring the political leverage that maoists have gained over the government, they are making hue and cry over the issue and demanding absurd things.

GOI must do something. It can not and should not sit quietly seeing another Sri Lanka or Bangladesh type situation on its borders.

Maoist lawmakers on Friday demanded the formation of the interim government at the earliest and gheraoed the rostrum during today's sitting of the Interim Legislature-Parliament.

Chanting such slogans as 'corrupt government, step down', among others, the Maoist legislators demanded the government declare those killed in Gaur incident national martyrs.

Maoist leader in parliament Krishna Bahadur Mahara demanded that the <b>open border with India should be sealed </b>and the government confiscate the arms distributed by the government to retaliate against the Maoists.

Accusing the government of remaining silent during the Gaur incident, Mahara said that the government had a hand in sending those involved in criminal activities across the border.

"Red Army" from Sindhuli "barrack" has reached Gaur. Hering this, thousands of Madheshis have fled the region and entered India to seek shelter.

So if there is a "Red Army" which is freely moving to crush these people in their own lands, what is Nepal police or Army doing? And what is India doing?
