Prachanda defends Chinese crackdown on Tibetans

Kathmandu, March 23: In what could be music to Chinese ears, Nepal`s Maoist chief Prachanda on Sunday defended Beijing`s crackdown on Tibetan protesters saying it was its duty to control the "separatist violence". In response to a question on the Tibetan unrest which erupted on March 10, Prachanda, whose outfit CPN (M) uses Chinese patriarch `chairman` Mao Zedong as its mascot, termed the revolt of the Tibetan people against Chinese rule in neighbouring Tibet as "separatist violence." "It is the duty of Chinese government to control violence," said Prachanda, whose real name is Pushpa Kamal Dahal. "We believe that Tibet is an inseparable part of China, he reiterated. I do not consider it as a crackdown by Chinese authorities," he said. Bureau Report

Communist Prachanda supports Communist China. No surprise. Just as China is crushing Buddhist religious freedom in Tibet, Prachanda will crush Hindu religious freedom if his Maoists come to power in Nepal. India, the land of religious freedom, must declare war against the Communists and Islamic terrorists. - K.Venugopal - Mumbai
