KATHMANDU: About 50 Maoist cadres from Nuwakot district have revolted against the Communist Party of Nepal (Maoists) leadership and formed a splinter group, posing a challenge to the already precarious law and order situation in the country.
Raj Kumar Regmi, the leader of the rebel group, told local mediapersons over the phone that they had set up an underground "Janvadi Yuva Samuha" or the Communist Youth Group. "We have formed a 21-member central committee," Mr. Regmi said. He claimed that over 50 Maoist youths had joined the rebel group. http://www.hindu.com/2007/08/12/stories/2007081255641200.htm
