KATHMANDU, July 4: Spokesperson and Minister for Information and Communications Gokul Prasad Baskota on Thursday said that the Chand-led group will bear the brunt of the consequences if it refuses to sit for peaceful dialogue with the government.

Speaking at a press conference in the capital, Minister Banskota accused the Chand-led group of carrying out 'terrorist activities' in an organized manner.  

"The group has been running extortion drive across the country. So, the government is determined to take stern action against such activities," he said.
