"The persons and forces against the Truth and Reconciliation Commission ordinance (TRC) are making efforts to thwart the peace process and transitional politics in the pretext of such issues. It is unacceptable for us. We would be forced to take serious steps if such allegations continue the days ahead, "reads the press release issued by Dahal.
Dahal has also slammed the National Human Rights Commission for its recent recommendations to the government for investigating a few cases belonging to the conflict-era.
Nanda Prasad Adhikari and his spouse Gangamaya of Fujel village in Gorkha are determined to “get justice for their son” who was reportedly murdered by the then Maoist rebels back in 2004.
The victim have been appealing for justice for their late son Krishna Prasad, who was allegedly murdered in cold blood by the then CPN Maoist in June 2004.
When the state kept on turning a deaf ear to all their pleas over the years, they came to the capital on January and start fast on to death in front of the Prime Minister´s residence.
Instead of addressing their demand, the then government started harassing them. The police eventually detained the couple and sent them back to Gorkha as they said that the case falls under the jurisdiction of Gorkha District Administration. The couple did not give up on their cause, and resumed the huger strike there, too. Doctors at the district hospital had to refer them to Bir Hospital for treatment as their health condition deteriorated.
They resume the fast onto death after the hospital discharged them. This time the police forcibly sent the couple to the Nepal Mental Hospital at Lagankhel, Lalitpur. They were dumped at the hospital for 38 days and later the doctors at the hospital certified that they are not mental patients and discharged them.
Adhikari complained that he was kept unconscious for more than 12 days at the mental hospital. The couple are now struggling for life at the Bir hospital´s emergency ward. Krishna, 16, youngest son of the Adhikari couple, had returned home on 6 June, 2004 from Pokhara, as he was preparing for higher education. He was living with his elder brother in Pokhara, as the insurgency was in the peak and environment of the village was not favorable.
His family supported Nepali Congress party, and was targeted by the then Maoist rebels. The very day he reached home, Krishna was abducted and whisked away to Chitwan, and later murdered. " “Charging him with being a spy, he was subjected to the extreme forms of torture, and was later gun down, " accuses Santosh Dhakal, his cousin brother.
