An External Affairs Ministry spokesperson told journalists in New Delhi on May 26 that there had been no change in India's policy towards the Communist Party of Nepal (Maoist). "We unequivocally condemn their terrorist and violent activities that have caused enormous suffering to the people of Nepal... It is our conviction that there is no purely military solution to the Maoist insurgency. Durable peace and stability in Nepal can be achieved only through a political settlement which, among other things, requires the Maoists to forswear armed struggle and lay down their arms. India is committed to supporting all efforts at restoring peace, political stability and economic prosperity in Nepal," he said. Asked whether senior Nepalese Maoist leader, Baburam Bhattarai, was in the capital, the spokesperson said that he had no information on the subject.
