Thapa defies Maoists
As the ruling seven party alliance has approached the Election Commission to vacate all the 62 captured houses that the Maoists have captured in the capital, at least one leader outside the ruling alliance, has taken re-possession of his house without government help.
Kamal Thapa, former Home Minister and president of the Rashtriya Prajatantra Party (Nepal) took possession of his house in Hetaunda although the Young Communist League had captured it a few months ago and had planted Maoist flag over its roof-top warning others that it was a no-entry zone. Thapa who is contesting the elections from Hetaunda went along with his supporters, broke the locks, and possessed rightfully his property.
