Ethnicity based federal order in Nepal not acceptable: Thapa

Telegraph Nepal

Talking to a select group of scribes at a private program organized to celebrate his 85th Birthday Chairman Surya Bahadur Thapa of Rastriya Janshakti Party ridiculed any possibility of the return of Nepali Monarchy.

“The institution of monarchy will never make a comeback”, he said and added, “The Republican order was established as per the wishes of the general public. We are trying our best to institutionalize the new order. Once decided, there is no going back.”

To recall, Thapa had publicly aired his resentment with the former king Gyanendra Shah for not acting upon his counsels when Shah was ruling the country. Yet Thapa is the one who facilitated the “free travel” of the Indian Ambassadors to interior part of Nepal without providing advance information to Nepal’s foreign ministry. Thapa was then King Gyanendra’s Prime Minister.

It had been reported recently that former King Gyanendra Shah in a rare meeting with Thapa had urged the latter not to bypass the institution of monarchy and Hindu state.

Similarly, Thapa told the media men that even the federal order was impossible to be annuled yet federal order based on ethnic identity was not at all acceptable.

Thapa was also of the view that even if a national unity government took shape, it was impossible to get peace and constitutional processes completed within the deadline.

Thapa is playing double.

“The same leaders will be leading the government even if national unity government takes shape. The country is for sure heading to a crisis”, he concluded.

Happy Birth Day Senior Thapa! All the best to you.

  • Not to allow ethnic based federal order in Nepal by a handful of politicians do not make any difference as you have to listen to what the people of Nepal in big voices are saying. You can not reverse the mindset of Limbuwan, Khumbuwan, Tamangseli or even Madeshi because these people have been oppressed by the ruling authorites for so long. So much so that the Ting tang massacre carried out by the Nepalese Army at the direct order from Surya bahadur Thapa is still as fresh as then. Surya bahadur Thapa's hands are full of blood and should be kept behind bar for the crime against humanities. But a criminal like him walking in the street of Kathmandu with his head held high is very insteresting. This clearly shows that Nepal still has a long way to go. To speak against ethnic based republican order is the people who have no public mandate and they will never understand the hearts and minds of real Nepalese who have had enough of suffering already. What have Monarch done to make Nepal and her people proud of rather the monarch has pushed the people to object poverty resulting majority of people hands to mouth struggle. The main cause of problem in centralised system, leaving the far and beyond regions in complete isolation, backward and undeveloped in infracstructure, education, job opportunities and so forth.
