Maoist's 40 Point Demands
These
demands were submitted by the political front of CPN (Maoist) United
People's Front with the coalition gpvernment headed by Nepali Congress
party. These are the same demands which were raised during the 1990's
people movement including the end of band of political parties. The UPF
raised these demands for 5 years after the so-called democratic
negotiation with the monarchy. But the successive government and Nepali
Congress government acted just opposit of the demands. Thousands of
supporters and workers of communist party and UPF were imprisoned or
trapped in false charges and more than 100 sons and daughters of
Nepalese were killed when peacefully they demanded. Now the government

against the government. *** The above demands put forth by the Samukta
Jana Morcha, led by Dr. Bhattarai, were handed over to the then prime
minister Sher Bahadur Deuba.
