Last week the Maoists published Janadesh clandestinely. [This is a now-banned pro-Maoist publication.] It is not clear which press the paper was printed at, but Janadesh says it was printed at Nepal Chapakhana. The police raided the press and the offices of the weekly Nepali Patra. Kamal Joshi, editor of Nepali Patra, and the press itself says they used to print Janadesh before the emergency, but has not been doing so since the state of emergency was imposed. The Nepali press has also turned anti-Maoist after the emergency. In the past it used to engage in one-sided publicity for the Maoists, and the rebels also were intolerant of criticism. Pro-Maoist reports have almost stopped after the emergency and the Maoists have been unable to get out their version of what is going on. Even the foreign press has stopped carrying stories that could possibly help the rebel cause. Without the press, the Maoists are like fish out of water.
