Why the term ‘17,000 + 2’? PM Prachanda expresses dissatisfaction

Kathmandu: Prime Minister Pushpa Kamal Dahal ‘Prachanda’ has expressed dissatisfaction with party cadres who have not protested against the insult of those who sacrificed their lives in the armed conflict. In a program organized by Martyrs’ Memorial Nepal on Saturday, even when the party activists openly insulted those who sacrificed their lives in the Maoist conflict, Prachanda commented that the claim of killing 17,000 people by the Maoists in the armed conflict was fabricated.

“Why the term ‘17,000 plus 2’? One person claims to be two by holding a banner, but we neither protest nor write or speak,” said Prachanda. He continued, “In the past, we tolerated it? but what should we do now? How should we protest? How should we express ourselves?”
