KATYHMANDU, June 9: The CPN-Maoist on Sunday expressed its serious concern over the recent 28-point agreement inked between Nepal and India at the home secretary level meeting held in Kathmandu.

Issuing a press statement by party Chairman Mohan Baidya, the party has accused the government of indirectly conspiring to hand over the immigration department at Tribhuvan International Airport (TIA) and modern Police Academy at Panauti to India.[break]

“The 20th and 21st points of the agreement that include handover of the Panauti-based modern Police Academy to India after the completion of its construction and providing the contract to India in the name of modernizing the immigration department of the TIA was a serious, condemnable act in view of national security,” reads the statement.

The party has also demanded that the ‘anti-national´ decision be scrapped at the earliest.
