KATHMANDU: The Communist Party of Nepal-Maoist has threatened to quit the four-month old Koirala Government protesting against “surprise” deployment of the “war-trained” troops for the security of its Ministers by the Army.

“We are thinking seriously whether we should remain in the Government in the wake of series of conspiracies against us, latest being deployment of armed commando forces for our security without our consent,” said Krishna Bahadur Mahara, government’s spokesperson and Information and Communication Minister. Mr. Mahara also leads the Moaist Ministers in the Cabinet.
