On August 27, Maoist insurgents unilaterally and "temporarily" pulled out from the seven-month old cease-fire with the Nepalese Government. Maoist chief Pushpa Kamal Dahal alias Prachanda in a statement, reportedly posted on the Maoists' web site, held the Government responsible for the decision. He said, "The rationale for cease-fire, code of conduct and talks process is now over for the time being." Prachanda cited the killing of 17 Maoist insurgents at Ramechhap on August 17 and the Government’s alleged rigid stand on the political agenda as the main reasons for the "withdrawal" from the cease-fire. He said, "At the same time, the royal army massacred 17 non-armed cadres and two civilians in Ramechhap. In particular, the concept paper presented in the third round of peace talks by the old regime and massacre of 19 by the royal army in Ramechhap are the main reasons for the ceasefire break. It is the immoral and paradoxical attitude of the old regime to say that they are still committed for talks." In addition, the insurgents had also objected to the Government's demand for arms surrender. In this regard Prachanda said, "Their political agenda ended the rationale of peace talks on the very moment when they asked us to surrender our weapons." The statement added that they could not sit for the fourth round of talks as the "old regime" (King Gyanendra’s Government) had not conceded their demand of holding elections for a Constituent Assembly. The third round of peace talks were held on August 17 in Nepalganj.
