Girija Prasad Koirala vows to act tough on YCL

Prime Minister Girija Prasad Koirala has said the government will act tough on the Maoist youth wing, the Young Communist League (YCL), if it continues its ‘unruly’ activities.

Talking to the representatives of the Madheshi Janadhikar Forum (MJF) at his Baluwatar residence Tuesday, Koirala said he would take strong measures to check the violent activities of the YCL.

Expressing concern over the recent activities of the League, the Prime Minister said the government seriously got on to the task of maintaining law and order in the country.

MJF representatives had gone to Baluwatar to submit a memorandum to the Prime Minister, demanding ouster of the Maoists from the government and a ban on YCL.

During the meeting, Koirala is also said to have assured the MJF that the government is committed to fulfill the demands of the Madheshi people. He also said the activities of YCL would feature in the next meeting of the eight parties.

Last week, the meeting of the CPN-Maoist central secretariat had decided to take a proposal of putting a ban on MJF to the government.  Source:Nepal news.com
