Sacking Deuba or elevating Chand was an act of regression?

The five parties’ sponsored agitation is on and will perhaps continue, God willing, till the King yields to their dictates. Fortunately the former parliamentary parties now in agitation have provided a cover to their excitement to which they now claim that it were a sort of people’s movement. However, most unfortunately, the fact is that it is neither an agitation in its truest sense of the term nor it has some thing very special to do with the people. When it is not a movement in itself then there is no denying that it lacks the required sanctions of the people in whose name the agitation has been sponsored. Their political stir, if it were at all, is an outburst of some crude political animals who in the name of the people wish to threaten the King so that the latter out of fear elevates the men engaged in the said agitation to the ranks that they all love most. Funny part of the story is that it is a move for the people called by a bunch of most depressed and frustrated political ruffians in which the people, the real people, from the very outset of the said agitation neither exhibited their attraction towards that nor offered blessings for the success of the said movement. The movement, which is in its abstract form, has failed to attract its own cadres. However, the supporters of the movement are the political cadres who have joined the said stir for fear of being penalized by the parties concerned. Had there been no such compulsion, the cadres perhaps would have watched the frustrating actions of the political scoundrels much the same way as a man on the street on his way home witnesses the political drama and makes no comment on the street play staged by the undervalued lot. Thus it is a movement for the people sans the people. Albeit, the movement has been entertaining the lay men who have had little to watch in the meantime after the announcement of the ceasefire by the government and the Maoists. Now that the ceasefire has been unilaterally broken and the insurgents come to full-fledged actions, there is little to watch the drama staged by the politically failed people housed in various political homes..

The cause for the movement, as is being given to understand, is against regression. The hullabaloo in the streets since all along these six months, or even more,  is against the King whom the namesake people’s movement wallahs consider the main actor that has initiated acts of regression thereby impinging on the sovereign rights of “we the people” and that they will not take respite until and unless the Royal personage corrected his constitutional blunders. While the people have so far failed to define as to what amounted to regression, the political parties now up against the monarch too have summarily failed to convince the people as to what it were in essence. More over, the political men now engaged in the stir have yet to ascertain as to whether the acts of regression began the moment the King sacked the Sher Bahadur Deuba government or it started when the King appointed Lokendra Bahadur Chand as the nation’s Prime Minister? This question remains still unanswered, which the population would very much love to get it from the statements of the failed office seekers. One more question that the people would like to have from their own “most-wanted people’s representatives” which is: what the hell the period in between the two above mentioned events be termed?

Stop meaningless killings

The Maoists rebels have yet again resumed their violent activities and in the process have threatened the lives of Nepali politicians and the civilians alike. The tragedy has been that they have not even spared school-going kids and by planting dangerous explosives in and around the vicinity of the schools. One such ghastly event took place this Monday morning in Baluatar which killed one innocent primary school level student. The killed one and the rest who sustained injuries perhaps don’t know as to what faults they committed in the past that made the rebels so furious as to have compelled them to plant bombs?

While we appeal the rebels to shun the acts of violence and stop the killings of their own brethren out in the urban and the rural areas and devise a sort of mechanism so that the failed talks resume at the earliest so that the unwarranted killings are stopped.

Perhaps this applies to the men in the security apparatus as well. The fact is that two Nepalese on two different warring camps are killing the third innocent one(s) who by all means is no less a Nepali as the former two Nepali claim themselves as Nepali. Senseless killings from both the sides must the stopped.
