Govt Withdraws Cases Against Yadav, Magar

The government today withdrew all cases filed against two CPN-Maoist leaders, Matrika Yadav and Suresh Ale Magar, who have been designated to hold talks with the government.

Speaking in today’s session of the House by taking time from the Speaker, Sitoula said letters for their release have been sent to the concerned authorities.

Minister Sitoula also appealed to the Maoists to stop extortions and release government employees, including the CDO of Sarlahi, Bodhraj Adhikari.

He also urged the rebels to stop holding march past in combat dresses. “These activities hamper the outcome of the talks between the government and the Maoists,” he said.
