KATHMANDU, July 17 - Jwala Singh faction of Jantatric Terai Mukti Morcha (JTMM) issued a weeklong ultimatum to the Pahade administrators and employees (of the hilly-origin) to quit Terai.
Issuing a statement Monday, Chairman of the Morcha, Jwala Singh said rulers and administrators of hilly-origin are unacceptable to the Madhesis, and they will face “strong physical action” if they did not leave Terai within a week.
According to our correspondents, people of hilly-origin were terrified in the wake of the warning.
The warning comes two days after the Home Ministry asked the armed groups in Terai to come to the negotiating table within 15 days or face dire consequences.
In his statement, Singh accused the government of trying to mobilize the army against the “liberation movement” in Terai, and went on to add that JTMM army as well as the Madhesi people were ready for retaliation.
JTMM is a Maoists splinter group, which is active mainly in a few districts of eastern low land belt.
