The second in command of the maoists recently visited New Delhi and met with the leader of the Communist Party of India (Marxist) which is part of India's governing coalition. This meeting was approved by the Indian government and the maoist leader was provided safe passage by Indian intelligence. India arranged the 12-point agreement between the terrorists and their "non-violent wing," the 'democratic opposition.'

'India to blame for Maoist attacks in Nepal' - "The attacks could take place because of the Dilli daur (run to Delhi)"

Some part of the opposition may have at one time had some legitimacy, but that was before they signed an agreement with terrorists responsible for the murder of thousands.

Some part of the opposition may have at one time had some legitimacy, but that was before they signed an agreement with terrorists responsible for the murder of thousands.

In Nepal, the opposition is everybody other than Gyanendra. That would include anti-Communist former Prime Minister Sher Bahadur Deuba. Support for the Maoists has traditionally been very limited.
