OCTOBER 11TH 2007 WILL BE THE LAST DAY FOR NEPAL's MONARCHY!
Girija has called a special session of parliament ON OCTOBER 11TH, 2007.
THE MAOISTS-TERRORISTS MAIN AGENDA IS TO CALL FOR VIOTE IN THIS CONSTITUENT ASSEMBLY.
These maoists-TERRORISTS have TWISTED THE ARMS OF GIRIJA FOR CALLING THIS SESSION. If the maoists-terrorists do not get this session to pass ABOLITION OF MONARCHY then they will START THEIR ARMS STRUGGLE AGAIN.
IT IS ALMOST 99% CERTAIN THAT MONARCHY WILL BE ABOLISHED in this session. Girija held special discussion with Chief of Army Katuwal late evening of October 9th, Tuesday. WHAT FOR?
October 11th, 2007, Thursday will be a sad day for Nepal's Monarchy!

I hope, the monarchy ends soon. But I don't want it to happen through the interim parliament because these representatives are not the people's representatives; they didn't come through the election. I'm also afraid who's really capable of taking over the role of monarchy at the present scenario?
India is playing dirty politics again. General Ashok Mehta (indian) said yesterday that indian army will storm kathmandu if maoists take over, and today the indian embassy released a statement clearifying the previous view doesn't necessarily holds true as the same view as that of the Indian goverment.
Old guy, Bhattarai is being quite active, and today's bbc reported that our army general Katuwal has recently met with Bhattarai at the latter's residence.

Also, there's the anarchy going on in Nepal. If there's some accidents, the whole town would be shut down, and the alleged vehicle would be burned, and the alleged driver beaten to death by the mob.
A child was killed yesterday in Patan; it is very sad news. But what the relatives of the boy did was also sad. They've no rights to go and torch the suspect's home, and why do all other people have to suffer by their chakka-jam?
Perhaps, we're not yet ready to abolish monarchy. I'm against monarchy, but monarchy is still better than anarchy.

"monarchy is still better than anarchy" well said gahugoro. Once I was also supporter of constitutional monarchy but when Gyaane crossed the line of Constitutional monarchy, I felt that we need republic.
But, declaring Republic from the interim parliament can not be justified in any means. First of all, the parliament was restored to hold CA election. Secondly, all the memebers of the parliaments are not elected ones. BULKS OF MAOISTS are there without being elected. The peace agreement signed by then 7 parties allience and Maoist stated that the faith of monarch would be decided in the very first meeting of CA.
So to declare republic from this parliament right is impossible and I am sure that Girija and congress will not do so. Its all the propaganda of extreme left forces to disrupt the peace process.
बिख रोपेर अम्रित् फल्दैन। खमेरुज् का नाया संस्करणहरुले हिंसा र हत्या गर्न बाहेक जानेका छैनन्। जनताको कुरा गर्ने तर जनता मार्ने जन्तुहरु दुर्भाग्यले हाम्रै मुलुकमा जन्मे। पशुपति नाथ पनि के हेरेर बसेका हुन्, कतै आँखा अनि दिब्य चक्षु दुबै बिग्रियो कि?

सेनालाई 'एलर्ट' रहन निर्देशन |
- |
मुलुकमा विकसित पछिल्लो राजनीतिक परिस्थितिप्रति नेपाल सेना 'सर्तक' रहन थालेको छ। नेकपा (माओवादी) ले यही असोज २४ गते दुई लाखभन्दा बढी जनता राजधानीमा उतारेर सिंहदरबार घेर्ने तयारी गरेपछि सेना पनि 'एलर्ट' भएको सुरक्षा सूत्रहरुले बताएका छन्। प्रधानमन्त्री गिरिजाप्रसाद कोइरालाले सम्भावित परिस्थितिका लागि तयार रहन सेनालाई 'हाई एलर्ट' को निर्देशन दिएको बुझिएको छ। माओवादीको समावेदन बमोजिम असोज २४ गतेे संसदको विशेष अधिवेशन सुरु हुदैछ। त्यसदिन माओवादी र एकता केन्द्र मसालले सिंहदरबार घेराउको कार्यक्रम राखेका छन्। सिंहदरबार क्षेत्र भनेको राज्य सञ्चालनको केन्द्र मात्र नभएर सेनाको मुख्यालय भएको क्षेत्र पनि हो। त्यसैले सेनाले सीसी क्यामराबाट सिंहदरबार क्षेत्र वरपरका गतिविधि निगरानी गर्न थालेको छ। 'माओवादीले कुनै पनि बेला राज्य सत्ता कब्जा गर्न शहर केन्द्रीत विद्रोह थाल्ने' अनुमान गरिरहेको सेनाको नेतृत्व माओवादीलाई कुनै पनी हालतमा त्यसो गर्न नदिने पक्षमा छ।', एक शैन्य सुत्रको दावी छ। माओवादीहरुले पनि सेनासँग निर्णायक भिडन्त हुने सम्भावनालाई केन्द्रमा राख्दै आ207ना रणनीतिहरु अख्तियार गरिरहेका छन्। माओवादीले 'सैन्य इन्काउन्टर रणनीति' बमोजिम सेनाको ब्यारेक वरपर नै योङ कम्युनिष्ट लिगको कार्यालय खडा गरेको छ। सेनाको एक नम्बर बाहिनी रहेकै बालाजु बाइपास क्षेत्रकै नजिक बालाजु औद्योगिक क्षेत्रमा वाईसीएलको केन्द्रीय कार्यालय स्थापना गरिएको छ। यसैगरी शिवपुरी सैनिक ब्यारेकलाई लक्षित गरी बुढानिलकण्ठ, एयरपोर्टमा रहेको सेनाको सुरक्षा टुकडीलाई ध्यानमा राखेर कोटेश्वरको जडीबुटी क्षेत्रमा, थानकोटस्थित सेनाको अखाडाकै छेउमा र लगनखेलस्थित ब्यारेक छेउमा माओवादीले वाईसीएलको कार्यालय स्थापना गरेको छ। यसको रणनीतिक उद्देश्य भनेको भविष्यमा हुने निर्णायक भिडन्तमा सेनालाई बिचबाटोमै रोक्नु हो। यो रणनीति बुझेको सेना माओवादीप्रति निकै आक्रोशित भइरहेको बताइन्छ। माओवादी सेनालाई राष्ट्रिय सेनामा गाभ्ने र प्रधानसेनापति रुक्मांगद कटवाललाई हटाउने माओवादीको प्रयासले सेनालाई चिढ्याएको हो। यसैगरी माओवादीले केही दिनयता सेनाका उच्चपदस्थ अधिकारीका नातेदारहरुका घरहरुमा कालोझण्डा गाड्न थालेपछि सेनामा थप असन्तुष्टि बढेको छ। सोही असन्तुष्टिलाई प्रकट गर्दै प्रधानसेनापति कटवालले सैनिक मुख्यालय र नगरकोटमा आयोजित छुट्टाछट्टै कार्यक्रममा 'केही उच्छृंखल तत्वहरुले सेना र जनताको सम्बन्ध धुमिल बनाउन खोजेको' बताएका थिए। असोज २४ गते माओवादीले 'अक्टोबर क्रान्तिको रिहर्सल' गर्ने तयारी गरिरहेको सूचनाका आधारमा सेना सर्तक भएको बुझिएको छ। सम्भावित परिस्थितिलाई ध्यानमा राखी सेनामा कसैलाई घर बिदामा जानबाट रोकिएका छ भने अत्यावश्क काममा बाहेक कसैलाई पनि ब्यारेक बाहिर जान नदिइएको बुझिको छ। 'सबै बाहिनी र गणहरुलाई स्ट्याण्डबाइ राखिएको छ'– सैन्य सूत्र भन्छ। २०५८ साल मंसिर ११ गते संकटकाल घोषणासँगै ब्यारेक बाहिर परिचालित भएको नेपाल सेनामा वर्तमान संक्रमणकालमा राजनीतिक महत्वाकांक्षा जागेको एकथरिको आशंका छ। यद्यपि, अस्थिर र तरल राजनीतिक परिस्थितिमा मुलुककै स्वतन्त्रता र सार्वभौमसत्ता खतरामा पर्नसक्ने खतराप्रति सेना सर्तक रहनु पनि स्वाभाविकै हो। प्रचण्डलाई सेनाको रोक सेना र माओवादीको यही उहापोहबीच हिजो ऐतिहासिक अमरगढी किल्लाको अवलोकन गर्न डडेलधुरा पुगेका माओवादी अध्यक्ष प्रचण्डलाई सेनाले किल्ला अवलोकनमा रोक लगाएको छ। गणतान्त्रिक महोत्सवको उद्घाटन गर्न डोटी जाँदै गरेका उनले डडेलधुरामा रहेको किल्ल्ाा हेर्न खोजेपछि सेनाले रोकेको हो। 145माथिको आदेश बिना किल्ल्ाा हेर्न नपाइने146 भन्दै किल्ला सुरक्षार्थ खटिएका सेनाका उपसेनानी उदय कार्कीको टोलीले प्रचण्डलाई फर्काएको थियो। प्रचण्डका साथमा सांसदहरु अमृता थापा, रुपा चौधरी, डडेलधुराकै सांसद नन्दसिंह सार्कीलगायत प्रचण्डपत्नी सीता पौडेल, नेत्रविक्रम चन्द, कुलप्रसाद केसी, जनार्दन शर्मा र लेखराज भट्ट सहभागी थिए। यस सम्बन्धमा सैन्य प्रवक्ता रमिन्द्र क्षेत्रीले भनेका छन् 145फौजको तैनाथी क्षेत्रभित्र जोकसैलाई पनि रोकिन्छ, अन्यथा केही होइन।146

I strongly support lootekukur's view..Thats what I think and support though...Country should and must be declared republic but should and must go through CA polls..Its not that they must consider republic just because a terrorists group (I am referring this as Maoists) forced to do so..

Absolute monarchy is bad, but cant abolish monarchy right now. Like it or not its necessary- its a necessary evil.
The Indians are trying to destroy every national, cultural, political identity of Nepal and monarchy, the last socio-politico-cultural icon of the nation, remains unfinished task.
Here you are counting the days of monarchy delhi is preparing to send its army. Prachand knew he wont be allowed to enter the fort but he still tried to do that...niu khojne kaam...they all building up a setting...
Bakhra haraunu bagh karaunu jastai jastai huna thalyo.

Most democratic way would be to go for referendum on the subjects like :secular country ,king and Federalism along with CA. but why would politicians want to give people chance to chose?They talk about janta...Selfish.Bloody bastards. Let the king go and ask for votes.. Be fair and let him contest.If SPAM can really beat him.. Why is maoist so scared if congress doesn't want to go for republic...Don't you guys get tired of hearing Nepali janta want republic??People would have voted for maoist to go for republic...haha. Just wait till BJP comes in power in India..whole dimension of nepalese poitics will change.Anyways this leftist indian govt.is going to crash.Even Yechuri of India wouldn't be able to save Maobadi.

Mr_truth, can u pls break the line of your link, the whole page's messed up b'coz of that link.
Is India playing a similar game like in the following: (source: http://www.sajha.com/sajha/html/OpenThread.cfm?forum=2&ThreadID=51111)
The pain of losing a nation.
By Sudheer Sharma
On the northern corner of West Bengal state of India , there is a hill station-- Kalimpong, which once hosted celebrities from all over the world. The hill town, where most of the settlers are of Nepali origin, no longer retains its old charm. But until a few weeks ago the last prime minister of a country—that has lost its independence— used to live here. Kazi Lhendup Dorji, who died on 28 July this year at the ripe old age of 103, had played a pivotal role in the merger of Sikkim into India .
Dorji is seen as a ‘traitor’ in the contemporary history. He lived, and died, with the same ignominy. “Everybody accuses me of selling the country. Even if it is true, should I alone be blamed?†he asked me, when I met him in Kalimpong in November 1996. But the allegation of ‘betrayal’ towards one’s own motherland was so powerful that Dorji could no more lead an active political life. He spent his solitary life at the ‘Chakung House’ in Kalimpong for several decades. Few people chose to remember Kazi when he passed away nor took pain to recall his life and times.
So much so that the Kazi was ignored even by Delhi . “I went out of my way to ensure the merger of Sikkim into India but after the work was done, the Indians just ignored me,†Kazi told me during an interview for Jana Astha weekly, nearly 11 years ago. “Earlier, I used to be given a ‘Red Carpet’ welcome. Now I have to wait for weeks even to meet second grade leaders.†When I visited Kalimpong for the second time in 2000, Lhendup’s anger towards Delhi had reached new heights. At one time, he was received warmly by Indian leaders including Jawaharlal Nehru and Mrs Indira Gandhi. But later he became a political actor whose utility had been finished and thrown away into the dustbin.
The origin of crisis
After India got independence in 1947, the Sikkim State Congress, which was established as per the advice of Nehru, launched anti-King movement. Sikkim managed to overcome the crisis then but after Indira Gandhi became Prime Minister of India, the tiny Himalayan kingdom found itself in a crisis from which it could never escape. The anti-King movement, launched by the Sikkim National Congress (SNC) under the leadership of Lhendup Dorji in 1973, led to the demise of a sovereign nation.
India openly supported the movement against King (Chogyal) Palden Thondup Namgyal. The then ADC to the King, Captain Sonam Yongda, claimed that soldiers of Indian Army in civil dress used to take part in the protests. Some of the protesters were brought from Darjeeling and the surrounding areas. The number of Sikkimese who took part in the protest was quite small. But that was enough.
Lhendup’s protest movement depended mainly on Indian financial assistance. The money was made available through Intelligence Bureau (IB). “The people from IB used to visit me twice or thrice a year. An IB agent, Tejpal Sen, used to handover money to me personally,†Dorji had told me in a recorded interview.
In fact, the main actor behind the “ Mission Sikkim †was India ’s external intelligence agency, RAW (Research and Analysis Wing). Set up in 1968, RAW was able to disintegrate Pakistan (and form Bangladesh ) within three years. The annexation of Sikkim was their other ‘historic’ success. The strategists of RAW didn’t want to repeat a Bhutan in Sikkim . Bhutan managed to acquire the membership of the United Nations in 1968. So, they launched a movement under the leadership of Lhendup, which is described at great length by Ashok Raina in his book Inside RAW: The Story of India’s Secret Service.
Raina writes that New Delhi had taken the decision to annex Sikkim in 1971, and that the RAW used the next two years to create the right conditions within Sikkim to make that happen. The key here was to use the predominantly- Hindu Sikkimese of Nepali origin who complained of discrimination from the Buddhist king and the elite to rise up. “What we felt then was that the Chogyal was unjust to us,†said CD Rai, editor of Gangtok Times and ex-minister. “We thought it may be better to be Indian than to be oppressed by the king.â€
Lhendup—who belonged to the Kazi family—had a historic enmity with Sikkim ’s ruling Chogyals. He said he wanted to pressurise the King through public protests but lamented that the King never came forward for reconciliation.
Under pressure from Delhi , the Sikkimese King was forced to hold tripartite talks with SNC and India . The talks not only curtailed royal powers, it also turned Sikkim into an Indian ‘protectorate.’ In the elections held in 1974, Lhendup’s SNC got overwhelming majority in the parliament. The government and the king saw each other as enemies. Ultimately, the cabinet meeting, on 27th March 1975 , decided to abolish monarchy. The Sikkimese parliament endorsed it and decided to hold a referendum on the future of monarchy. Four days later, the outcome of the poll in 57 stations across the country was: ‘Abolition of the monarchy.’ In an interview, then Agriculture Minister of Sikkim KC Pradhan recalled that the referendum was nothing but a charade. “Indian soldiers rigged the polls by pointing rifles at the hapless voters,†he said. Immediately after the referendum, Kazi Lhendup moved a motion in the parliament proposing that Sikkim be annexed to India . The 32-member parliament, which had 31 members from Lhendup’s SNC—passed the motion without a blink. Needless to say that the entire episode was being orchestrated by India. The then Indian envoy to Sikkim (known as ‘political officer’) BS Das wrote in his book The Sikkim Saga, Sikkim ’s merger was necessary for Indian national interest. And we worked to that end. Maybe if the Chogyal had been smarter, and played his cards better, it wouldn’t have turned out the way it did.â€
But Chogyal didn’t play his cards well. When Sikkim was undergoing turmoil, the Chogyal visited Kathmandu in 1974 to attend the coronation ceremony of King Mahendra. According to insiders, King Birendra, Chinese deputy premier Chen Li Yan and Pakistan ’s envoy advised Chogyal not to return to Sikkim . “They narrated a ‘master plan’ to save Sikkim from Indian hands but the King didn’t accept,†said Captain Yongda. “It was because the King couldn’t think even in his dreams that India could use force to annex Sikkim .â€
A ‘double game’
In fact, India was playing a ‘double game.’ On one hand, it was supporting Lhendup in whatever way possible against the King. On the other hand, it was assuring the king that monarchy would survive in Sikkim . The Chogyal was also an honorary Major General of the Indian Army. He never thought that his ‘own army’ would act against him. It was only an illusion.
The Chogyal of Sikkim was in his palace on the morning of 6 April 1975 when the roar of army trucks climbing the steep streets of Gangtok brought him running to the window. There were Indian soldiers everywhere, they had surrounded the palace, and shot rapid bursts of machine gun fire could be heard. Basanta Kumar Chhetri, a 19-year-old guard at the palace’s main gate, was struck by a bullet and killed—the first casualty of the takeover. The 5,000-strong Indian force didn’t take more than 30 minutes to subdue the palace guards who numbered only 243. By 12:45 pm it was all over, Sikkim ceased to exist as an independent kingdom.
The Chogyal also lost the second opportunity. The Sikkim Guards had the capacity to stop the Indian Army for two hours. If the Chogyal had informed Beijing and Islamabad about the Indian invasion from the transmitter set up at his palace, both the countries had assured him—during the Kathmandu meeting—that they would instruct their security forces to open fire along the borders with India . Chinese army could even travel to Gangtok to rescue the Chogyal. Captured palace guards, hands raised high, were packed into trucks and taken away, singing: “Dela sil, li gi, gang changka chibso†(May my country keep blooming like a flower). But by then, the Indian tri-colour had replaced the Sikkimese flag at the palace where the 12th king of the Namgyal dynasty was held prisoner. “The Chogyal was a great believer in India. He had huge respect for Mahatma Gandhi and Jawaharlal Nehru. Not in his wildest dreams did he think India would ever gobble up his kingdom,†recalls Captain Sonam Yongda, the Chogyal’s aide-de-camp. Nehru himself had told journalist Kuldip Nayar in 1960: “Taking a small country like Sikkim by force would be like shooting a fly with a rifle.†Ironically it was Nehru’s daughter Indira Gandhi who cited “national interest†to make Sikkim the 22nd state of the Indian union.
During a meeting, former Chief Minister of Sikkim BB Gurung told me that the King and Lhendup were just fighting a proxy war. “The real battle was between an American and a Belgian lady.†If that was true, the real victor was the third lady—Indian Prime Minister Indira Gandhi.
Two Foreign Ladies
Chogyal Palden met the 24-year-old New Yorker, Hope Cook, in Darjeeling in 1963 and married her. For Cook, this was a dream come true: to become the queen of an independent kingdom in Shangri-la. She started taking the message of Sikkimese independence to the youth, and the allegations started flying thick and fast that she was a CIA agent. These were the coldest years of the Cold War, and there was a tendency in India to see a “foreign hand†behind everything so it was not unusual for the American queen to be labelled a CIA agent. However, as Hope Cook’s relations with Delhi deteriorated, so did her marriage with the Chogyal. In 1973, she took her two children and went back to New York . She hasn’t returned to Sikkim since.
Then there was Elisa-Maria, daughter of a Belgian father and German mother who left her Scottish husband in Burma and married Kazi Lhendup Dorji in Delhi in 1957. The two couldn’t have been more different. Elisa-Maria wanted to be Sikkim ’s First Lady, but Hope Cook stood in the way. “She didn’t just want to be the wife of an Indian chief minister; she wanted to be the wife of the prime minister of an independent Sikkim .†With that kind of an ambition, it was not surprising that with annexation, neither Hope Cook nor Elisa-Maria got what they wanted. Meanwhile, in New Delhi Indira Gandhi was going from strength to strength, and India was flexing its muscles. The 1971 Bangladesh war and the atomic test in 1974 gave Delhi the confidence to take care of Sikkim once and for all. Indira Gandhi was concerned that Sikkim may show independent tendencies and become a UN member like Bhutan did in 1971, and she also didn’t take kindly to the three Himalayan kingdoms, Bhutan, Sikkim and Nepal, getting too cosy with each other.
When the Indian troops moved in there was general jubilation on the streets of Gangtok. It was in fact in faraway Kathmandu that there were reverberations. Beijing expressed grave concern. But in the absence of popular protests against the Indian move, there was only muted reaction at the United Nations in New York. It was only later that there were contrary opinions within India —(Former Indian Prime Minister) Morarji Desai said in 1978 that the merger was a mistake. Even Sikkimese political leaders who fought for the merger said it was a blunder and worked to roll it back. But by then, it was already too late.
Lhendup Dorji became the first chief minister of the Indian state of Sikkim and retained the post until 1979. The Indian government conferred on him ‘Padma Bhusan’ in 2002 and he was also awarded the ‘Sikkim Ratna’ by the state government in 2004.
Despite such “rewards,†Lhendup and his wife Elisa spent their last years in Kalimpong repenting their past deeds. After the death of his wife in 1990, Lhendup was forced to lead a solitary life. He neither had any children nor relatives to take care of him. He cut himself off from his own people to avoid their wrath and hatred.
In the elections held in 1979, Lhendup’s SNC failed to bag even a single seat in the Sikkim ’s legislature. This effectively brought to an end to his political career. At one time, when he had gone to file his nomination, his name was missing from the electoral roll. In his resolve to dethrone the Chogyal dynasty that had 400-year-old history in Sikkim, Lhendup ended up delivering his motherland into the lap of India. In return, all he got was a life haunted from the shadow of the past and an ignominious death.

If it is a true news then it is good for nepal and all nepalese. Kingships are dying everywhere else in the world, why we need one? Nepal is one of the poorest countries of the world we cannot afford to have king. Besides, nepal hasn't got full democracy ever. Even people have rights to vote, the king has been electing prime minister and the important cabinet members. King has been sacking the government whenever he wanted if the primeminister and other members have not satisfied his wishes. King has all the power, he has armies back up. He is above the constitution and many more. Besides, this guy is not even a king who murdered his own brother for power. If a person can kill his own brother for power,he can do anything to remain in power. His murder son is even worse. Where on the world can person get away by murdering 2 people, except in nepal. Wake up people who are backing up king. Murder king doesn't care about people. Only things he cares about is power. No matter whether you are madhesi, gurung, tamang, bahun, chettris, rai, limbu or others, we are all nepali and it is our country, lets unite and sack murderer. Don't fall on his dirty tricks and false hope. We have already experienced his days and we have already suffered enough. Therefore, we don't need to practice again. I hate maoist. They are as worst as king. Maoist will also destroy the country. They don't have no plans except false hope and lip services. If maoist wins we won't get financial help from foreign countries and without finance we cannot do anything. Then our country will be like euthiopia and somalia. We want republic and full democracy. No Girija, no madhav nepal, no pashupati samser rana, no sahana pradhan. I mean no old dirty and filthy leaders. We need young fresh blood well educated leader, who is exposed to the outer world and most importantly who has a vision. We need representatives from all ethnic groups to represent them so that no body feel they are left behind. All those old creepy so called leaders need to retire. First of all they don't have any idea. Even if they have one, it is already outdated. Girja and so called old leadears are older than my granddad so how come their idea will match today's world. If these leaders don't have anything to do just do dharmakarma and for country's sake please empty the seat for the young ones for heaven's sake. Don't attach to the seat like leeches.

MTA,
Your ideas and views represent a perfect Nepal, which is not possible in anyway, so, better also not dream about such a perfect nation. There will be negative factors present in the country no matter who's going to be in the power in the near future, let's hope that it is at a minimal level.

hahahahahahahah hahahahahahahahahah
If you cant look behind the fortified wall then please dont attempt. People who belive news and threat of Politican are the worst observer of politics. To understand the politics you should know how to play it. You dont need masters degree to be good politicans or observer. No wonder people in Nepal are fooled by politican. No body know what happens in 8 party meeting ..........rather than politican gettting drunked and bombared by hookers. People dont know how some party are getting out of options and ending blaming monarc all the time. Life still is getting decreased every day and living style is not going up at all. Dyaam! i dont need this freedom nor democracy where one Micro Bus Driver can obstruct the entire traiff for hours and traffic looks at the scene as if nothing happened. I dont need this democracy where 6 students can vandalise the whole town and police watches quitely. I dont need this democracy where 30,000 morons threat the entire nation.
This is my future forcast, it will come true sooner or later.........................
Just wait till all the katmandites wake up and chase away 30,000 morons into their hole. We have seen how in one nite Jungli are swaped away from terai. Today there strong hold terai is not valid of getting their vote. The recent survey showed that fair election will not help these jungali get any vote. SO all this drama. Tell what exactly Mr. Prachande wants. Why are they so confused? " thats why they say in Nepali " Suteko Baagh le shyal ko saato khaancha bhaneko". Why are they so unsecured?
Comon moaist dont you trust yourself or YCL are so used to lifestyle of Kathmandu they are afraid to go back to forest. Are you worried to loose you sugar daddy who make you drink free alcohol in different joints in thamel. Mr. Ganesh man Pun ending up being personal body guard of one of the hoteliers of nepal. He tells me openly they can do anything for him. One indian businessman has bought YCL on their hand. I have spend one evening with them but i see they lack logic.
common ppl think out of the box.................do you think king is stupid to visit kumari without informing Girija.
We all made blunder out of it. ....................why bhattari is saying he support monarcy..........will he do without girijia permission. ahahahahahahahahahahahaha
Mula haru chamal ma kankar na dekhne le.....................girija ko +/- politics lai bujne tyo pani 3 powerful nation ko back up ma...........
whatever he is though? In today's politics he deserves to be in position for while to swap the moaist
if this is not right in new Nepal so called Loktantra.............i am not sacred to express my freedom. I have free excess to smash those micro bus drivers face who stops their vehicle in middle of the road obstructing other traffice. I have freedom to swear at those people who stops me from going to work on chakrapath chowk.
This is what loktantra means to most NEpalese here. Am I scared oh hell ya i am.

I agree with Moneyminded. Maoists' new tactic is due to their weak political situation in the country. Their goal was never to abolish monarchy. Power was their goal. They joined 7 parties and agreed to peace process to strengthen their position. However, as time passed the opposite is happening. They thought their 12 yr old war, their demands for CA election, loktantra, ganatantra whatever would help them to gain power. Bad luck for them that all other parties agreed to hold CA election, establish loktantra, and what not. People have already forgotten Maoists started those demands. People only remember them as the main cause for the killings and destruction that dragged our country the current situation. So, the people are going against Maoists when they are not armed. Maoists can't seem to handle logical debates either because there can't be a valid logic for killings.
Maoists know that the political situation is not in their favor and the election has to be stopped. They are wiped out from terai so quickly and Congress and UML are in better shape nationwide except in western Maoist stronghold areas. If the election is held in older way, the results will be devastating for the Maoists. Although they can't win election the way they envisioned, they can still secure votes nationwide. So, there came the proportional election agenda. This is the last resort to save their culprit ass.
They demanded to announce loktantra from the house because they know it will not happen. This is a strategy to buy more time. Also, this gives them hope that they can go to people and still justify their wrongdoings. So, Maiosts are using King, who is already weak, as a last weapon. If, for any reason, the house goes for loktantra, Maoists will have nothing left on their hands. They will be like 'bandar ko puchchhar lauro na hatiyar' in Nepali politics. I think Baburam now understands, if he has any brain left, why people thought he was insane to kill innocent people to gain power. Even though it is too early to predict, it seems impossible for Maoists to come to power. So much their dreams. I hope this is just the beginning!
