Prachanda a traitor as per his own men

Dipak Pandey of the United Maoists Party who is also in charge of Taulihawa Chapter has quit the mother party and joined the Matrika group freshly. Talking to journalists in Taulihawa, said Mr. Pandey, “Prachanda has deceived all of us, he is the traitor but yet the revolution continues until the down trodden are liberated”. Further, “A communist leader who rides a car worth ten million rupees and the one who sleeps on a bed worth hundred thousand plus can no longer remain as the messiah of the people and thus realizing this hidden truth we have abandoned the Maoist party for good ”, said Pandey. Mr. Prime Minister, what would you like to comment on this statement from your own follower? Even your own party members and followers have identified you as a traitor and are abandoning you and at such times, how do you expect the public to trust you anymore. This is just the beginning, Mr. Matrika and others who once were close to you and have shared dark secrets with you are bound to make public all the dark side of “Prachanda” which will in due course of time make you stand before the public unmasked. Just like the saying, “what goes around, comes around”, you will face the aftermath of having terrorized the nation for over ten years and good luck to you.

Where is the national interest

Nepal, since unification has always remained independent regardless of the unsuccessful invasions carried out at various times by the friendly enemies. The Indian establishment along with Americans and the Europeans have always had an interest in Nepal for reasons of their own. Some powers have the interest for their presence in Nepal to monitor the activities of China and India as they are the growing and emerging economic powers of the modern world. In another words, Nepal is serving the interests of foreign powers but is lacking to take care of its own citizens and the credit and the blame goes to the leaders of Nepal. The land that once stretched from Tista river in the east to Kangara across Sutlej river in the west is loosing it’s territory every single day. The Ranas were pro British and pleased them to save their own rule. The leaders during the Panchayat rule were pro India and some operated as agents for China, America and some European countries. The Nepali Congress learned their politics from Indian politicians and were always serving the Indian interest to please their masters. The UML was in a split position with some of the leaders being pro China and some pro India always busy trying to please their own side. The Maoists are pro China as their name speaks for itself and they too are always busy functioning in the best interest of their mentors and masters. However, the Maoists also have some obligation towards the Indian establishment for harboring them at a time when they were listed as and were functioning as terrorists. So there is a price to be paid towards the Indian side also. Currently, the Indian established is upset with the Maoists for serving the Chinese interest over theirs and are acting up by sending envoys to Nepal as messengers. The Communist leaders go south to India but say they visited China which is some kind of a game going on just to please their masters. This tells the whole story, why the country is underdeveloped and even the basic necessities of life have not been provided to the people. Electricity problems, lack of proper drinking water, cooking gas, education, roads, industries, health system, sanitation and hygiene etc. etc. The political parties and their leaders are only concerned about their own being and are heads over heals busy functioning in the interest of their foreign masters and do not have time to think or work for the betterment of the nation. If this is let to continue, our nation will not progress and the people will always have to suffer cause there is not one single leader who is pro Nepali, who would only serve the Nepali interest. The country had and has always missed that one leader, who would think work and live like a true Nepali serving the interest of Nepal and its citizens.

will Humla ever have a hydro project

The government, instead of using two helicopters to go to the same function should be giving one to Hansa Thapa to transport construction materials to Humla. He is not asking for free service instead looking for service at a lower cost to generate electricity in his home town in Humla. It is service to the people and the government should support such cause specially at a time where the government has failed to provide the public with electricity and the country in under fourteen hours of load shading. Mr. Thapa has already spend four months in the capital seeking assistance from the government to provide him transportation at a lower cost to transfer construction materials for a hydro project to Humla. Mr. Thapa, if you depend on this Maoist led government, your dream of bringing your village into lights will never come true cause these so called Nepalese leaders are busy running after their own dreams.

Unnecessary expenses by the Maoists

They speak something and do something else. They talk about saving the state money and using it for development programs instead of making unnecessary expenses from the state treasury but have been doing exactly the opposite. The Prime Minister, even after having three luxury vehicles at his disposal has recently purchased a dream car with a estimated cost of almost ten million Nepalese Rupees. Under benefit of the doubt, the PM can be let go on this issue, though it was not necessary, the fact that the vehicle still remains as the state property and he would only be using it. The other unnecessary expense the Maoist led government has made, which could have been avoided was the PM and the Defense Minister using two different choppers to go to the same program when it costs almost 80,000 bucks per hour for fuel to fly those birds. Comrades, on one hand you talk about saving the state money and on the other you spend such huge amounts unnecessarily. Both of you were going to attend the same program, same time, same place but both of you were not thoughtful enough of save money for the state. Mr. Prime Minister and Mr. Defense Minister, after almost ten years of hard life in the jungles, it does feel great to be surrounded by all kinds of luxury but those kinds of expenses if made from your own pocket instead from the state would be better for the state. But do you really care?

what is the connection between Home Minister Bamdev & Rishi Dhamala

The Home minister, Bam Dev Gautam has recently expressed his desire to see the corrupt journalist Rishi Dhamala free and has also wished that he is innocent saying that he knows the criminal closely. Firstly, the Home Minister having links with the criminal does not prove him innocent and secondly it is very irresponsible of Mr. Bam Dev to give such a public comment when the institution he heads has arrested the criminal journalist who has been charged with links with underground outfits involved in criminal activities. The Police has made his telephonic conversations public and the criminals arrested have also confessed Rishi’s involvement. At a situation like this, such statements from the Home Minister will not only demoralize the morals of the investigating officers but will also put pressure on them to be biased in favor or against the accused. The other mind bothering aspect in this case is, why would the Home Minister advocate in favor of the criminal instead of encouraging the officers involved in the investigation to nail the accountable for the crimes. Somewhere in the back of the mind the question also arises, does he, the Home Minister have involvement of any kind and is uncomfortable about the fact that his name might come up if the criminal being investigated spills the beans before the cops. Everyone in innocent until proven guilty but possibilities cannot be ruled out.

criminals in disguise

Rishi Dhamala and his affiliates the three Mahatos, if the audio recordings of the telephonic conversation is verified as authentic, are terrorists, harboring and conducting terror related activities without a doubt and should be penalized and prosecuted as criminals. At this point, it is too early to draw conclusions and the law enforcement must be allowed the required time to conduct their investigations independently without any pressure of any kind, be it political or from reporters. This crack-down by the cops is not just links between Dhamala and the underground outfit the Ranabir Sena, there is much bigger network, with as one may suspect personalities from the current political arena may also have involvements of some kind. At this early stage of investigation Rishi Dhamala does not look like the mastermind, instead he looks and sounds like a mediator, wanting to make some fast money working for a bigger fish and Dhamala is the ladder that could lead the law enforcement to get to the real big fish behind all of this. While in custody and during the course of investigation, Rishi Dhamala should not have the privilege of seeing any visitors. Even politicians, leaders or diplomats should be restrained from seeing Dhamala cause if there is any involvement of such a person, they would want to meet him to ask him to keep his mouth zipped by either threatening or assuring to work on his release. Listening to the audio that has been published as the telephonic conversation, any layperson can tell the people involved in that conversation are indeed participating in terror related activities and anyone trying to advocate on behalf of Dhamala or showing soft corners will also fall within the circle of suspicion. The law enforcement has done a good job by cracking down the ring-masters and we should wait patiently for the investigation reports.

Open letter to PM Prachanda

Dear, Mr. Prime Minister,

You promised to the people and even took the oath of office in the name of Nepalese people saying that you would work for the people but all your actions so far have been against the people and the nation. A person who was defeated in the elections and was rejected by the people is the Vice Prime Minister and the Home Minister in your cabinet. How are the people to trust this person that he would provide security to the people when he is the same one rejected by the people. That's a sign of failure to begin with. Yet again you made the same mistake by bringing Madhav Kumar Nepal as the appointed CA member and even elaborating it by appointing him as the head of the Constitution Drafting Committee. All you have done so far is tried to build your own political career and have done nothing for the country or the people. You have promoted your family members and the people around you. You may think the country is running smooth and that you have lived up to the expectations of the people but the bitter reality is that you have failed. Your close supporters may be giving you this wrong impression but the public has already realized their mistake of putting you in office. The interaction we have had with people, have indicated that they are disappointed by your performance and you have proved to be yet just another ordinary Prime Minister and this has been said by the ones who supported you and the Maoists and indeed voted for you and your party. Security has always been challenged by the criminals and from the time your party came to the main stream politics and since you came into office of the Prime Minister, security of the country has become a big joke. Crimes of all kind and magnitude are being committed in broad daylight and the law enforcement has failed to stop, prevent or protect the innocent victims against such crimes. You promised to punish the guilty party involved in the killing of businessman Shrestha from Koteshor, yet Bibidh was promoted as a central committee member though he is a suspect as well as a case has been filed against him. Criminal cases filed against the Maoists at various courts have been dropped and your Government is granting pardon to political criminals by deciding to drop the cases filed against them. This is another issue that is bothering the public and if not corrected they will not only distrust you but will also voice against you. So as promised, take stern action against all the criminals and bring them under the law by punishing them. Mr. Prime Minister, your party has joined the main stream politics and you do also head the government but since you and your party has failed to comply with the basic requirements of a political party, by theory your government and your party is still not legitimate as per the law of the land. You have not disarmed and your party still possesses all those weapons illegally obtained without a license to possess or own them. The Maoist Army the PLA is now a illegal body cause you and your party are in the government and you already have the Nepal Army as the national army to protect and function like any other official army of the world. There is no need whatsoever for you to have a parallel army and it has to be dissolved and completely non functional and in reality they have to surrender to the government with the arms and ammunition in their possession. Until then it is still considered illegal to run a parallel army. Even in your address to the nation, you talked about ending the dowry system, giving equal rights to daughters on ancestral property and you said both the parties involved in giving and receiving bribes will be guilty. These issues have already been addressed by the previous government in the past also and we the Nepalese people do not see any difference between our kids, be it a boy or a girl. You were expected to address more important issues like drafting the constitution on time, providing security to the people, improving the economy and the living standards of the people, about the education system, national security etc. etc. Instead of that, you are just talking like a helpless person seeking help and cooperation from others to do your job and save your government. You promised to return the illegally captured property to the rightful owners but your senior party leaders say that they will not return the property at any cost and some have been heard saying, “so what Prachanda promised”. You have allied with other two political parties to form the government and both your allies do not trust you and time and period they have been giving negative statements about you and your party. Similarly you and your party members do the same like school going kids, pointing fingers at each other rather than working collectively for the nation. Recently you were heard saying that Madhav Kumar Nepal has lost his mind and Baburam Bhattarai went to the extent of calling Mr. Nepal a stray dog, but you and your party appointed him as the CA member and as well as the head of the Constitution Drafting Committee. If he was and is what you say then why in the world did you promote him the person who was rejected by the people in the first place. The government of Nepal today is just wasting and killing time fighting among themselves, blaming one another for the failure of the government. If that is all you are going do, then when would you find time to do something for the people and the nation. Mr. Prime Minister, these are only a few issues and there are a lot more that need immediate attention from the government. Stop this cat and mouse game going on and start working for the people and the nation which is your primary job or else the Nepalese people are tolerant but there is a limit and the day the tolerance breaks the people will be compelled to take matters in their own hands to save the nation and then the wrong doers will be publicly punished and there will be nowhere to run and hide for them.

Finally, Mr. Prime Minister, rise above all these accusations among political leaders and making false promises to the public. Look in the mirror and ask yourself, “what have I done for the nation and the people so far?” maybe you would be able to answer yourself in the best manner. Or else your promises will only be a distant dream which will only come true in comics like the one below.
