In an interview to the Times of India, published on December 2, the chief of Nepal’s Maoist insurgents, ‘Comrade Prachanda’ hoped that India would not join the Nepalese government’s ongoing counter-insurgency operations. He added that if India did so, the Maoists would have no option by to wage a resistance struggle against Indian forces. The Maoist leader claimed that the rebels were forced to resume armed action against the Nepalese government because of actions of the current Sher Bahadur Deuba government. He also alleged that the previous G P Koirala regime had unleashed terrorism against his party even while it was the third largest group in Parliament. He added that the Maoists were prepared to suspend their armed activities and talk if the "right to determine their own political future is granted to the people".

Nepal is planning to give terrorism a prominent position on the agenda of the 11th South Asian Association for Regional Cooperation (SAARC) summit scheduled from January 4 to 6, 2002 in Kathmandu. A senior SAARC official, while speaking to the media, said, "Poverty alleviation, social development and economic cooperation have been and will always be on the top of the SAARC agenda. But now, given September 11 and the situation in the host country, terrorism may get more attention." According to media reports, Nepalese authorities are of the view that SAARC had to do more than to make ‘passing and ritualistic references’ to terrorism’—as has been the practice in earlier summits. SAARC must play an important role in weeding out terrorism, officials opined.

Nepal’s Chief of Army Staff Gen. Prajwalla J B Rana called upon the Maoist insurgents to surrender arms and talk peace. He said it was the duty of the Army to disarm the Maoists and make them sue for peace. Gen. Rana was speaking on Nepal Television, on December 17. Defending troops’ deployment, he said the Maoists escalated their violence and attacked the Army barracks, killing troops and looting weapons, at a time when the Army was providing protection to the development works under way. Gen. Rana also said 58 troops have been injured in operations against the insurgents, since the Army was inducted, but did not disclose the number of soldiers killed. The Army chief claimed that the Maoist insurgent violence would not have reached its present high state if the Army had been deployed earlier to combat the insurgents and indirectly blamed the elected government(s) for not seeking assistance, as provided for in the Constitution of the country. He, thus, denied claims that the Army had in the past refused to be deployed against the insurgents.
