KATHMANDU, March 14: Sister organizations of the CPN (Maoist Center), a coalition partner in the incumbent government, have accused singer Prakash Saput of insulting the women involved in the decade-long Maoist insurgency through his newly-launched video song titled 'Pir'. 

Maoist Center's sister organizations - All Nepal Women's Association (Revolutionary), Injured and Disabled Warriors' Association of People's War, Cultural Federation Nepal, and Press Center Nepal in a joint statement today expressed their concern over the song. 

This song depicts the involvement of those, both men and women, who took up arms in the Maoist people's war in ‘illicit affairs’, which they claimed have offended them, reads the statement. 

"We want to draw the attention of the authorities concerned to take action against those who have engaged in outright false and misleading activities. Similarly, we want this video to be removed from YouTube and such reprehensible activities to close, and we urge the party in question to publicly apologize before the entire Nepali people after accepting the crime."
