Students set ablaze central department of Education

Posted by ohnepal on August 31, 2006

It is not without reason we say that the 16 years rule of SPAM has sown the ever lasting seed of violence and protests among us Nepalis. The following is yet another example taken from Nepalnews.com

Students set ablaze central department of Education

Students of the Education Department of the Tribhuvan University set ablaze the central department of Education Thursday alleging that the recent results of Masters Level first year were not fair.

They charged that only a few students passed in the exam and those who had passed the exams also scored minimum marks.

Students have been demanding re-checking of examination papers alleging that there was partiality in the checking.

There was huge loss in the department due to the fire with the actual loss is yet to be calculated.

Police had to use force to disperse the students as they tried to block the fire brigade from putting off the fire.

Angry students also set ablaze the department two years back citing similar reasons. nepalnews.com pb Aug 31 06

Angry sportsmen gherao media office for ‘mistaken’ news report

Posted by ohnepal on August 2, 2006

It only becomes clearer with the day that Kantipur is nothing but a propaganda media house in Nepal spreading the hooplahs that the Koiralas and New Delhi’s South Block (Indian Government’s offices) want to spread in Nepal. Things are getting worse for Kantipur with the day. It’s copies are being burnt, staffs attacked and offices vandalized. Things couldn’t get worse for the media house that took active part in spreading the violence during the Mob and Goon movement. It’s unethical reporting is perhaps getting rightly punished, albeit a too late.

Check out what Nepalnews reported on another false journalism case by Kantipur publications and the aftermath that the latter had to go through:

Angry sportsmen gherao media office for ‘mistaken’ news report

A group of angry sportsmen gheraoed the office of the Kantipur Publications at Teenkune, Kathmandu, this afternoon to protest a ‘mistaken’ news report on Kantipur Television over the killing of karate player Rakesh Gurung in police firing last night.

Over 200 protesters demonstrated in front of Kantipur Publications and barred the staff from coming outside the main gate of the office. A journalist with Kantipur daily told Nepalnews that the protesters pelted stones at the office of the Kantipur Publications.

The protesters said that the KTV news report that Gurung was shot dead while trying to rob a policeman at Gyaneshwor was mistaken. Following the protest, the KTV said it had corrected the report and apologized for the mistaken report.

Assistant Sub-Inspector of Police, Man Bahadur Adhikari, who is the bodyguard of CPN (UML) general secretary Madhav Kumar Nepal, allegedly opened fire at Gurung. Badly injured Gurung succumbed to injuries at the TU Teaching Hospital, Maharajgunj.

The protest in front of Kantipur Publications was going on until 6:30 p.m. There were no reports of violence, however.

Irate sportsmen had carried out protests against the killing around the capital city from the morning, brining the vehicular traffic to a halt at many places.

Official investigation into the incident is underway, according to authorities. nepalnews.com mk Aug 02 06

Maoists continue abductions, intimidation, extortions

Posted by ohnepal on August 2, 2006

It’s an endless story of torcher and violence being unleashed on the poor Nepalese by the Government of Nepal and no one seems to be doing anything about it. We are as perhaps more sick of collecting these reports than the people actually facing the wrath of the terrorist government.

Check another news of terrorism reported by Kantipur:

Maoists continue abductions, intimidation, extortions

BY BISHNU BUDHATHOKI

KATHMANDU, Aug 2 – Maoists continue to violate the understandings and agreements reached with the Seven-Party Alliance (SPA).

On Tuesday they abducted a CPN-UML member and held him captive for more than four hours in Kathmandu.

Four Maoists abducted Prakash Maharjan, 46, of Kirtipur Municipality 3, yesterday morning from his house on the charge of tearing a Maoist pamphlet stuck at the door of his private room, Sunday. The pamphlet was about the 4th national conference of All Nepal Carpet Workers’ Union (ANCWU) scheduled for 6-9 September.

“At around 6 o’clock this morning, four people arrived and took me forcibly from my house saying that they were sent by senior leaders,” said Maharjan who runs a carpet factory and employs 25 people.

They warned and scolded his family members too. They took him inside a carpet factory in Gongobu where there were about 15 people. They scolded him for tearing up their pamphlet and said that if it were not a “normal period”, they would punish him severely.

“Later, they released me handing over six pamphlets of Prachanda to stick at my house and said that as punishment I must provide at least two rooms for them whenever they come,” he said showing a roll of pamphlets. The Maoists offered him Rs 50 as bus fare saying they would recover it from him later.

In the afternoon, another group reached Maharjan’s house and stuck a notice where they have announced public action against carpet entrepreneurs who have been acting against the welfare of carpet workers.

Carpet entrepreneurs of Kirtipur said Maoists have been threatening them with action if they fail to fulfill demands related to carpet workers. The Maoists have also asked for donations and to send all employees compulsorily to attend the national conference of ANCWU.

Similarly, a group of Maoist activists have been intimidating people in the outskirts of Kathmandu Valley and extorting money from them since a week.

Four girls and 21 boys, all Maoist cadres, have been roaming around Machhenarayan VDC as well as Batkeyapati, Bistagaun, Chhap and Taudaha of Kirtipur Municipality.

“They arrived on Friday evening, took shelter and had dinner at different houses in Narayansthan forcibly,” a local of Machhenarayan VDC said. On Saturday morning, they organized corner meetings and distributed memberships of the party and student organization to the locals. They also asked for voluntary donation.

Locals said they feel terrorized.

Meanwhile, another local of Chalnakhel, an area along the highway to Godavari, said 19 Maoists reached there and visited a primary school. Students were frightened. They said they were roaming around villages to interact with the public and were seeking support for the “October Revolution” in case the ongoing peace talks failed to reach a logical end, locals said.

A few days ago, a similar group of Maoists reached Siuchatar Village of Kathmandu and intimidated and extorted money, villagers said.
