Chairman of ruling Communist Party of Nepal (CPN) and former prime minister (PM) Pushpa Kamal Dahal said anything could have happened to him if the American government had not issued "no investigation" ruling over him.
Organizing a press conference on Sunday, Dahal said he had a bitter experience in America during his visit for treatment of wife Sita Dahal.
One Tilak Shrestha had filed a case of war crime against Dahal with the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) pointing that America had listed Dahal as a terrorist during the Maoist conflict.
"Anything could have happened to me if the American government had not issued "no investigation" ruling. Some people had a plan to put me behind the bars saying that I am a murderer, criminal," Dahal said, "Did I commit crime by signing on the peace agreement? Did I commit crime by unifying the country by leading the constitution making process?"
He also drew the attention of main opposition Nepali Congress (NC) claiming the party's organization in America took an official decision to file a case against him.
"These people know who to attack to reverse the changes," Dahal said, "They understand that it will be easy to do that by attacking the one who signed the peace agreement. This is an attitude. This should be stopped."
Addressing the media at the Tribhuvan International Airport on his return from America on Thursday, Dahal had said arrangements were made to deal with him in America in a covert manner but had not elaborated.
