Your party had demanded that the YCL be dissolved, but you set up another force.
We are not a copy of the YCL. For the last 12 years, the Maoists have been violent and unfair, and they still haven't changed. They turned against anyone who did not agree with them. The Youth Force was established to be a deterrence.

But there isn't much difference between the activities of Youth Force and the YCL.
We are very different. The YCL is still running a parallel state, but that is not on our agenda. We don't run courts or punish anyone illegally. We simply help the security apparatus to give justice.

But you too take the law into your own hands.
The focus of our activities is justice. We obey the law of the land. True, some of the old laws are unfair. We need to reform them.
