Nagendra Paswan alias Jwala Singh has been suspended from the post of chairman of Janatantrik Terai Mukti Morcha (JTMM), an armed outfit active in Terai.
Reports said a meeting of the JTMM politburo held last week in an unknown location removed him from the post, accusing him of working against the party's policies and involving in financial irregularities.
The politburo meeting appointed Ranabir Singh as the outfit's commander, reports added.
Jwala Singh had been leading the group after a split with Jaya Krishna Goit-led JTMM some time back.
The insurgent group, which claims to have been fighting for an independent Terai state, has mainly been targeting hill-origin people living in Terai, government employees and local leaders of political parties.

Janatantrik Terai Mukti Morcha – Jwala Singh (JTMM-J) - overview:-
Formation:-
The Jwala Singh faction of the Janatantrik Terai Mukti Morcha (JTMM-J) was formed by Nagendra Kumar Paswan a.k.a. Jwala Singh in August 2006 after he broke away from the Jaya Krishna Goit led JTMM. Jwala Singh is a former CPN-Maoist cadre and had joined Goit when he floated the JTMM. Later, he developed differences with Goit over the strategies to be adopted for the liberation of the Terai and establishment of an independent Terai state.
Objective:-
Jwala Singh demands complete secession from Nepal and to form a new independent state of Terai. In fact, he has already declared Terai as an independent state and says that any talks with the Government will be to demarcate the border only.
JTMM's Demands:-
The Terai should be declared an independent state.
There should be proportionate participation by determining constituencies on the basis of population.
All the police, army and administration in the Terai should be evacuated and Madhesi people should be posted there.
Population census should be conducted in Terai under the supervision of Madhesis.
All the revenue collected from Terai should be spent for the development of Terai.
All the Madhesi killed by the state and Maoists should be declared martyrs and NPR 1.5 million should be provided as compensation.
Citizenship should be issued from the central to district level in coordination with the Madhesis.
The land of Madhesis captured by Maoists should be given back.
Maoists should end their ‘donation drive’ and tax collection in Terai.
Leadership and Structure
Jwala Singh is the leader of the organisation. The group claims to have formed an armed militia in 12 of the Terai’s 20 districts. With a cadre strength of a few hundreds, this group has an organisation modeled on the CPN-Maoist, with a central committee, central and district level governments, a Terai Liberation Army and district committees across the districts.
Area of Activity:-
It is primarily active in the Terai region bordering India in the districts of Siraha, Dhanusha, Morang, Sarlahi, Bara, Saptari, Mohattari, Birgunj and Rautahat.
