Nepal partisan Civil Society reproach Dahal’s repellent remarks

Telegraph Nepal

Nepal’s highly partisan Human Rights’ activists and Civil Society members, as they are taken, have heavily criticized Chairman Pushpa Kamal Dahal of Unified Maoists Party for provoking the ethnic communities to heat the streets against those who opposed identity based federalism.

However, it was this civil society members, save a few, who were the fan of Comrade Prachanda while the latter was safely hiding in New Delhi through the kind courtesy of Ambassador Shyam saran. This should speak so many things unspoken.

Rather than urging people to exhibit restraint Chairman Dahal, May 13, 2012, making a provocative speech had told the members of ethnic community to retaliate against those who have stood against identity based federalism.

Jungle mindset.

Prem Kumar Khadka, Kedar Narsingh K.C., Tara Nath Dahal, Charan Prasai, Sudip Pathak, Subodh Pyakurel, Baburam Giri, Hirendra Man Pradhan, Keshav Prasad Bhattarai, Yadu Nath Khanal, Mohan Gyanwali, Dinesh Tripathi, Bhupendra Basnet, Sitaram K.C., Dharmendra Jha, Amuda Shrestha, Indira Sapkota, Posan K.C., Madhusudan Pun, Bin Kumar Biswakarma, Kamal Rai, Anjani Kumar Jha, Sakina Khan, Chunni Saran Yadav, Sher Bahadur K.C., and Kiran Pokharel have jointly issued a statement deploring Dahal’s remarks.

Majority of the so-called members of Civil Society either belong to Nepali Congress or the United Marxist Leninist parties and some find themselves close to the European Countries.

“Remarks made by a person who had been the Prime Minister of a country and who presently chairs the largest party are highly objectionable”, the joint statement reads.

The statement adds further, “We also express our worry over the possible adverse impact the country will have to bear due to such an irresponsible remarks”.

They have also called Prachanda’s remarks as being unconstitutional and against national unity. Delayed realization indeed.

In the meantime, the student affiliate of Nepali Congress Party took to the streets in Kathmandu on Monday, May 14, 2012 against identity-based federalism.

The students made demands against identity based federalism and urged people to maintain communal harmony.

Similarly, in Biratnagar of Morang district, members of Chhetri-Brahmin community hanged an effigy of Chairman Dahal on a tree.

It has also been reported that Chairman Dahal in a rare encounter with the members of Chhetri-Brahmin community had also urged them to continue protest for their rights. Flimsy politician, if he is at all.

  • Not so much the poor chetris , but it's the baluns that are really feeling the brunt of the power of the people of Nepal. For years and years they perpetuated unprecedented level of corruption in the nation and now these bahuns feel threatened by the federal system because they can no longer sow the seeds of corruption, nepotism and corruption. Clearly, the people of Nepal are fed up with these Bahuns and that is why such a big voice for ethnic based states are being raised. It was the Ranas, then it was Panchas and now it is the bahuns! It is the Bahuns vs the rest of Nepal.

  • Have you noticed that more than 80% of Bahuns too like other caste live under desperate poverty. They earn their living by jajaman and tapara leaking. They too are struggling like other caste for to survive. Like other few bahuns enjoyed lavis life style. This is true. Now we know this caste system does not work and wish to get a caste free society but again prachanda is talking about caste to the federal state too. what a irony. We have been thinking that new constitution should in fact put all nepalese caste as NEPALI rather than bahun chettris this that. But look now a civil war is being planted in nepal.
