PARASI: Unified CPN-Maoist's politburo member Devendra Poudel 'Sunil' on Wednesday said land of all landlords would be seized and distributed to landless people, if President Dr Ram Baran Yadav does not correct his decision to reinstate the army chief sacked by the elected government.

Addressing a corner meet after the sit-in before the District Administration Office, Nawalparasi, here today, Poudel said, "If the president didn't apologise for his mistake and tender his resignation, we will seize land and distribute it to landless people."

Paudel also said his party would continue protest from both House and the street and added that his party happily chose to step down from the government rather than kneeling before foreign forces.

The Maoists today organised sit-ins before the district administration offices throughout the country for two hours, protesting against the President's decision to, what they said, establish civilian supremacy in the country.

In Bhaktapur, the Maoist cadres reached the premises of District Administration Office, Bhaktapur, with a protest rally. They organised a sit-in for two hours and hampered the officials works at the office.

Addressing the gathering, district secretary of the UCPN-M Diwakar warned of continued protest if the President's decision was not corrected and the civilian supremacy not established.

The UCPN-M also organised a sit-in before District Administration Office, Jhapa, to put pressure on the government to maintain civilian supremacy. Throughout their protest, they did not allow any one to enter the DAO premises.
