Nine blind men and an elephant called Maobad
Malcom X
Blind Man One
A Maoist problem is a political problem. More over it is an
intra party feud of a very small and insignificant communist party. The media is simply
exaggerating the issue. This is because the left has a hold on the media. After all their
very objective is: deception and propaganda. Look, there are more people being killed in
day to day road accidents in Nepal than those being killed in Maoist movement. OK, we
agreed that it is a political problem what we need is a political solution, not a dialogue
and negotiation. One cannot negotiate with terrorists. I just do not understand why the
government is trying to negotiate with Maoists. What we need is an effective political
deterrent like political demonstrations, rallies, national consensus building seminars,
meetings and, of course, luncheon and dinners at five star hotels. At the extreme, we
might even have to ban that particular bit of political party. In the name of democracy we
cannot have an anarchy. Any way that political wing is already bhumigat (underground),
what does it costs to a nation to ban that party?
Blind Man Two
A Maoist problem is a social problem more over an ethnic
problem. It is rooted in our deep seated caste base Hindu social structure. Even a
pure brahmin breed like Babu Ram is talking about class struggle and class conflict.
People do not understand even the simple truth here. Look, in the name of creating an
utopia, a Ram Rajya, Babu Ram, an another Bhramin is simply exploiting an ethnic minority.
What we need is an out and out anti-Bhramin movement, a coalition of Bhattas and Rais to
get rid of this bird called Bhattarai. Only this Bhattarai government can get rid of that
Bhattarai.
Blind Man Three
A Maoist problem is an economic problem more over an American
problem. The Americans have failed to support the development of this small country. Look,
the they are targeting against Americans, against their INGOS and NGOs. If you think this
is our problem then I would say this is an NGO problem. We need an effective NGO Act not
an Anti Terrorist Act to solve the problem. Look, Maoists are building bridges and roads
and trying to compete with our gaun bikas karyakaram.
Blind Man Four
It is an international problem. Maoists have a deep connection
with a London based organization call RIM. Even Bhattarai's wife had her scholarship in
UK. Without international support how could they survive so long in those remote mountains
and jungles? Even an honest civil servants, with hefty DSA, avoids posting in Rukum and
Rolpa. How can Maoist be there? Impossible, isn't it?
Blind Man Five
No. No. It is a local problem, at most a regional problem or a
remote area problem. We Nepali have a terrible habit of connecting every thing with
foreign hand. UML may have been toppled due to international conspiracy, Deuba may have
suffered due to foreign ploy, Bam Dev may be operating under foreign outfit, Koirala may
be under foreing pressure but Maoist problem is, definitely, a local problem. And hence it
has a local solution. How can you call it an international problem when the movement is
very much confined to certain region and locality of the country? People are simply trying
to infatuate an eccentric guy like Bhattarai by giving him an undue status of Che Guevare
Blind Man Six
An Eccentric, right. This is a psychological problem of Dr
Bhattarai. Look, he could not contribute any thing in the field of architectural
engineering or regional planning. May be, we need to send Dr Devkota, his class mate, to
do some mental surgery on him. Dr Bhattarai is acting very much like "Professor
Sampoo" of the Shinning Path Movement in Peru washing the brains of the people. May
be we could give Dr Bhattarai a post in the National Planning Commission.
Blind Man Seven
This is totally a communist problem. A democratic party like
Nepali Congress must refrain from making its hand dirty with this problem. Communists are
divided every where in the world. If you cannot comprehend their global division, just
look at the lively play at home, between Male and E-male.
Blind Man Eight
This is a criminal problem. We need effective laws, acts, rules
and regulations. Even a third rated conman is now robbing banks and terrorizing people in
the name of Maobad.
Blind Man Nine
How could Maobad be a problem? It is a solution. It is a
solution to get more American aid, a solution to increase defence budget, a solution to
get more employment in police, army and other security personnel, a solution to distract
the opposition politics. Even Bhattarai government is being saved because Koirala had to
concentrate on Maoist problem. |
