Nepal: Charter sans Federalism may trigger Split, Fire and bloodbath

Telegraph Nepal

Addressing a mass meet in Kathmandu, Saturday March 31, 2012, organized by Unified Democratic Madhesi Alliance, Minister Rajendra Mahato once again threatened splitting the country if major parties conspire to promulgate constitution without clear provisions for federalism.

Nepal Ko Sri Lanka Bana Dengey... is what he used to reiterate when Prabhakaran was alive.

Mahato leads one of the several splinters of Sadvawana Party and is the minister for Health.

“The Madhesis will cut those fingers which are raised against the Madhesi demands”, Mahato repeated his favourite catch word.

“Separatists of India’s north-east and Kashmir should better contact Mr. Mahato for having lessons on separatism”, claim critics.

Some leaders who represent the indigenous communities were also invited at the mass meeting.

Krishna Sundar Malla aka Malla K Sundar, though a former communist but perceived as a highly communal leader representing the Newar community, threatened that “Blood will flow like river, if constitution without federalism was promulgated”. God Bless Mother Nepal!

Sundar, a former media man, currently belongs to Newa: Struggle Committee.

Majority of the leaders who addressed the mass gathering made threat loaded statements. Some threatened to tear the constitution, some saw country’s split sure and some guessed likely bloodshed. Just imagine the scene! NOIDA net gains.But will NOIDA remain safe if Nepal is burnt?

Home Minister Bijaya Kumar Gacchedhar who leads the Madhesi Janaadhikar Forum-Loktantrik said, “Without federalism the country will burn.”

“The Madhesi and indigenous community will draft a constitution on their own, if major parties ignore our demand for federalism”, Gacchedhar said.

Mahanta Thakur of Tarai Madhesh Loktantrik Party (TMLP) said that historically the state has marginalized the Madhesi community.

“The Madhesi community is being treated as terrorists and anti-nationals; Thakur complained and added, “The Madhesi communists have their own separate history. Only federalism can preserve the unique identity.”

Chairman Mahendra Yadav of TMLP-Nepal said, “The Madhesi community is ready to fight for federalism”.

Dangerous days ahead.

Dear Editor and Readers ! It is a matter of grief that the indian agents- some Madeshis are threatening to break Nepalese unity. Can the define the meaning of ethnic based federalism ? Is not the sign of fudalism to disintigrate Nepal. You know- The issue of federalism is creating instability in the nation. The symptoms of disintegration can be seen in federalism. The nation is about to be divided into pieces before our very eyes. The Constitution Council members are appearing as executioners. Rajendra Mahato was born in India. He worked as a loader in Sugar factory in Parsa and as a loader in Tribhuvan airport. He took the citizenship from Sarlahi. Mahantha Thakur and Rajendra Mahato are more inclined to be a Madhesi than Nepali. Bijaya Gachedar is a Tharu but he is one of the agent of RAW. These people who have entered Nepal from Bihar-India do not want to be called Nepali. Rajendra Mahato spews venom of chasing people of hilly regions to hills from Terai plain. In this way Bihari people are instigating chaos in the soil of Terai. The Health Minister who was Indian citizen, Rajendra Mahato and president of the Terai-based of Sadbhavana Party has been warning-'if the rights and representation of the Madhesi people are not secured in the new constitution and if the federal structure is not incorporated, the Madhesi people will be forced to launch a decisive struggle. Nepal's Terai plains are home to about half of the country's 30 million people, and the residents of the region, known as Madhesis, have long complained of discrimination by the country's hill communities.' This threatening is the voice of Indian intelligence. Baburam Bhattarai's teacher and other Communists, the old communist leader Mohan Bikram Singh sheds light on his friend Raghunath Singh of Nautanhawa (Lumbini-mid-westeren Nepal) who established Madhes Communist Party in 2018 B.S in accordance with Indian C.I.D's strategy of separating Terai from Nepalese territory. He writes- 'The Madhesi people firstly forwarded the opinion of autonomous federal state with right to self determination. Such an opinion will create a situation that would threaten Nepal's national disintegration. It is Indian grand design to gradually merge all states of Nepal under the federal system into its territory. Many Indian citizens have acquired Nepalese citizenship, and increased their influence in Nepal's national politics. Ramraja Prasad Singh has publicly said that such Madhesi leaders had requested him to accept the post of President of the separate Madhes state. It is a planned attempt to increase the number of Indians acquiring Nepalese citizenship and to turn Nepal into another Fizi" >www.nepaljapan.com< Then the traitors and the opened agents of RAW should be punished. Thank you. Dirgha Raj Prasai Kathmandu
