A summary of the email forwarded by one of our contributors regarding another article by Ms Sandhya Jain which follows afterwards:

Although, we believe that a ‘Federal Nepal’ is another disaster…this article makes for an interesting read. I have followed the writers article since long and she writes correct things from the Macro point of view. The Macro level problems are, correctly, well defined and illustrated in all the articles by writer. From the micro point of view it is on us Nepalis itself to decide how we want the things to work.

The only thing that the writer fails to understand is that SPA is not a part of the solution but a part of the problem.

Shifting the goalposts

- Sandhya Jain 

The stoning of King Gyanendra’s cavalcade on the auspicious occasion of Shivaratri, supposedly by egalitarian Hindu devotees objecting to the custom of royal precedence, suggests growing Maoist fears that the forthcoming election to the Constituent Assembly may not give them a winning mandate. Reports from Nepal indicate that the institution of monarchy continues to exert a mesmeric influence over ordinary people in the Himalayan kingdom, and the prospect of its abolition may be eroding the Maoist grip over popular imagination.

Certainly the ground reality has changed sharply since the so-called peace accord gave Maoists almost a third of the seats in the interim Parliament. Despite such a precipitous political tilt in their favour, Comrade Prachanda has not felt confident of surrendering arms as per the accord, and wishes to join the interim Cabinet without adhering to his part of the bargain. His people are now claiming that they see no need to fulfil any precondition set by the Government, and are threatening to ‘delay’ the June election unless immediately accommodated in the interim Cabinet. Government sources are dismayed at the delay in arms surrender and legitimately fear that arms may play a role in the forthcoming election.

During a visit to New Delhi last week, Nepali Congress leader Sujata Koirala complained that the Maoists have gone “out of control” and are an obstacle to her country’s transition to a full-fledged democracy. She claimed the Maoists have resiled from all promises, have not surrendered all arms or returned lands seized previously. Indeed, she said, the Maoist cadre is still threatening the people, the police and even foreign diplomats. Even former Prime Minister Sher Bahadur Deuba has charged the Maoists of breaking their promise to return seized public property; he fears this could affect the Constituent Assembly election (The Rising Nepal, February 8, 2007).

Although Ms Koirala was too polite to express dissatisfaction with the UN’s handling of the arms issue, in the light of India’s sad experience with the UN mission on the Indo-Pak border, I can only surmise that a devious international game is afoot to give an unrepresentative bunch of thugs the control of this strategically vital nation. Not surprisingly, Ms Koirala, who is known for her political candour, has asked India to perceive the Nepal situation as a “fire in the neighbourhood”, and take appropriate action before it engulfs us in turn. Given the grim situation in States battling Naxalite violence, not to mention ISI presence in both countries, the warning is apt. It remains to be seen if it has been well received; it is not clear which UPA leaders she succeeded in meeting during her stay.

Ms Koirala revealed that Nepal’s greatest problem is law and order and that Home Minister KP Sitaula is widely perceived as being ‘too friendly’ with the Maoists, and hence unable to act decisively against them. She took public opinion by surprise when she defied her father, Prime Minister Girija Prasad Koirala, and openly demanded Mr Sitaula’s resignation on the issue of the Terai violence. It appears that many political parties in Kathmandu are waking up to the reality of the ‘coup’ that has gifted the Maoists a major share of the interim Parliament, without any proven ability to truly represent the people. With arms surrender inadequate, and suspicions about UN collusion with the Christian leadership of the Maoists rampant (even if unstated), the constituents of the Seven-Party Alliance have found a heaven-sent escape route in the Terai flare-up.

The trouble in Terai broke out unexpectedly on January 19 this year, when the escort of Maoist leader Ram Karki shot at and killed Madhesi Janaadhikar Forum activist Ramesh Kumar Mahato in Lahan district. The situation deteriorated when the Maoists seized the dead body and forced the family of the deceased to immediately cremate the body. The resultant public anger boiled for three weeks, taking at least 38 lives and leaving several injured in police action, before a truce was called.

This brought international spotlight on the Terai’s gross under-representation and forced Prachanda to agree to a draft Bill to amend the interim Constitution. Once approved by the interim Parliament, Articles 134 and 154 of the interim Constitution will be amended to provide a federal state structure and new constituencies in the Terai, as also additional seats for proportional representation according to the percentage of population growth. It is thus envisaged that 20 constituencies will be added in Terai and four in the hill regions. An additional 20 seats will be increased for proportional representation.

According to The Kathmandu Post, this means that the 20 southern districts, which comprise 48.4 per cent of the population, will receive 49 per cent seats in the Constituent Assembly. The remaining 51 per cent seats will be divided among the 55 hilly and Himalayan districts, which constitute 51.6 per cent of the population. This appears to be an equitable distribution, and it is to be hoped that the aged and sick Prime Minister will be able to execute the delimitation exercise properly.

Political empowerment of the aggrieved and anti-Maoist Madhesis, however, is unlikely to go down well with Prachanda, who is again busy shifting the goalposts, violating the spirit and substance of the November 21, 2006, accord. Indeed, less than a month after declaring peace, Maoist goons had resorted to large-scale violence and intimation in Kathmandu on December 18, 2006, to force the Government to cancel the appointment of Ambassadors to 14 countries, including India. Now they are trying to muscle their way into the interim Cabinet without surrendering arms.

Given their unreliable nature, the original seven parties of the interim Government would do well to seize the political initiative, rather than let Prachanda dictate the national agenda. The SPA should dissociate from the plan to abolish the monarchy, and emphasise a truly federal polity. It should support retention of Hindu supremacy in the Himalayan kingdom, with safeguards against fraudulent conversions currently being pushed among border and marginal communities; already a major portion of Nepal’s Buddhist community has been converted to Christianity in the past few years. The SPA should also call upon the Nepal Army to ensure free and fair elections in June, as it is virtually certain that the UN will fail to control the murderous People’s Liberation Army.

Although, anything that the terrorist government (SPAM) of Nepal does hardly matters…a few sane minds of the world are taking note of the events happening in Nepal and trying their best to restore the lost dignity of Nepal.

The fact of the matter remains is that these bunch of terrorists who came to power in Nepal by sheer hooliganism and MOB and Goon movement have no right what-so-ever to take any decision that concerns Nepal or Nepalis.  A bunch of power hungry terrorists cannot decide for 24 crore Nepalis. Period.

A news artcile from nepalnews:

Make Nepal a Hindu nation: Hindu activists

Participants of an interaction in New York have urged all Hindus across the globe to work to defend Nepal as a Hindu nation.

Speaking at the interaction organized by Sanatan Darma, Sanskrit and Nepali Center at Shree Satya Naraian Temple, New York City Hindus from various parts of the United States, Canada, India, Bangladesh, United Kingdom, Bhutan, Shri Lanka, Trinidad, Guyana and Nepal expressed solidarity for Nepali Hindus to make Nepal a Hindu nation.

The parliament reinstated following the success of the April movement has declared Nepal as a secular country. Hindu activists are protesting against the parliament’s decision and demanding to make Nepal a Hindu country.

A press release issued by the organiser said, scholars from the Indian American community Arish Sahani and Shree Gaurang G. Vaishnav, General Secretary of Vishwa Hindu Parishad (World Hindu Council of America) Raju Bhatija and Vijay Sigdel, a political activist from Nepal presented their views in favour of making Nepal a Hindu state.

Speaking at the programme, Vaishnav said that all Hindus must be united and rise up to defeat the foreign and internal enemies who wish to divide the Hindus.

Bishal Bikram Shah, a Nepali scholar currently living in New York city condemned the violence and pelting of stones during the visit of His Majesty King Gyanendra to offer prayers to Lord Pashupatinath on the auspicious occasion of Maha Shivaratri.

He demanded that the miscreants, hooligans and criminal elements be arrested and punished.

Various Nepali artists also presented cultural programme on the occasion. nepalnews.com pb Feb 21 07

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

The following article appeared on Newsblaze website. The writer only makes it more clear the SPAMmer (terrorist) and Indian propaganda being spread by Kantipur (some of our readers have being talking to us regarding money and media and propaganda). Also, India’s interference in Nepal’s politics are highlighted.

India: Charm that Hurts Nepal

By Munna Singh

For me the hardest thing to digest has been India’s role in all this – heretics such as S.D. Muni and Yechuri all make trips and consult their henchmen (SPA and Maoist), in India – we all seem to know about this but act nonchalant. Nepal is becoming a remote controlled nation.

I read Kantipur sometimes, I abhor it, and find news as if doctored by the South block. For me they represent India rather than a credible newspaper. A friend who works in a Himalayan Bank innocently squealed that Kantipur Publishing House deposited Rs. 64 crore in four banks, one being his.

More or less, most people agree that the way things are, it only means a civil war. Even if Maoists stay on the backs of SPa take over, resistance will crop up, to defeat unilateralism and draconian laws and policy that the Maoists espouse, with definite curtailing of speech, freedom and individual rights. The endgame for them and to COMPOSA is to make a Nepal a model communist state. Now, the quandary is – knowing all this India is hell bent on supporting the Maoists and SPA. What gives? The logic can be only one thing – Nepal is not a country but a puppet regime under and by South Block. It shows that for India, anything is ok and can be handled except the Monarchy. In their eyes, a true Nepal is one without the King, and the rest is within their realm by hook or crook.

It is quite naiive to chit chat only about the SPA and Maoists because at the end of the day – it is India who is running them both. I do not suspect this, I take this to be the truth. Nor is it a question of India bashing or being anti-India! But somewhere in retrospect – I see a well defined map by India with total disregard for the people of Nepal. Not a good move even by the standard they have set for themselves with all the neighboring countries.

If there is a concerted effort by the powers-that-be then I see Maoists making a hasty retreat with compulsion to join the main stream without arms. The effort must be on making a level playing field for everyone, not just big parties or a renegade party but for all without the chance of affording parties (big, renegades) to hijack the better interest of the nation on behest of a Foreign country.

I see less chance of better judgment prevailing in India in regards to Nepal and the necessity of Monarchy in Nepal. So it is upon us to set the stage whereby in a gradual process we create a platform that propagates nation building from within, practically putting our house in order that can rebuff unwarranted and unnecessary foreign intrusions. To achieve this, I assume we must share the burden in all aspects to formulate a charter that is all-encompassing in terms of ethnicity, social, political and economic aspects. The task is uphill but the time to start is now before it is too late.

BBC. Yes, a part of the same western media that was reporting the “Mob and Goon movement” as “Nepal’s fight for democracy”. Yes, the same media that ignores to write on the Human Rights violence in Nepal committed by the Maoists. Yes yes, the same media that was accused of selling 2004 Tsunami as a “marketing tool”. And oh yes, a part of the same media that had decided before hand “how to present the Nepal story” to the world. A part of the same media that is often so biased that some “Black African” nations do not allow it to report from inside their boundaries for it’s lopsided rhetoric stories supporting its race and government. A part of the same media whose reporters have forgotten to count – just a numbers game, hundreds can be millions, while thousands can be hundreds. It just depends on whose side are you taking.

Did anyone say that, the Western media will present the Nepal story just as India wants because the current Indian government is not at good terms with the Nepal Monarch? And the Western media/nations cannot wish to antagonise the Indian (markets)s at the cost of one of the poorerst nations in the world – Nepal. Simple and Period.

Peoplesreview has this for us:

BBC’s credibility

Kathmandu , 18 July: BBC Nepal has raised some questions regarding its credibility as it recently broadcasted false news regarding participation of the people on the King’s birthday, writes Janasatta weekly on its editorial.

Although tens of thousands people went to the Narayanhiti palace on 7 July to wish the King his sixtieth birthday, the BBC correspondent of Nepal quoted false news stating that only about two thousand royalists attended the King’s birthday.

Despite the fact that the government cut off the tradition of declaring public holiday on King’s birthday, tens of thousands people stood in queue from eleven O’clock in the morning to late five O’clock in the afternoon to wish the King his birthday but the BBC correspondent of Nepal fabricated the whole news that raised some serious questions regarding the credibility and accuracy of such a reputed institution like BBC.

BBC should initiate an investigation on the intention of its Kathmandu representative who despatched such a false report.

There we go. Kunda (Dixit) at his nonsense best. How to bring down your nation and earn media fame. No one can learn it more drastically better than him. He speaks out what the Indian Government (Congress and Communists) and Media wants to hear and earns back the money from them. The objective is simple here: Somehow bring unstability in Nepal. Somehow provdie legitimacy to illegitimate SPAM government which has long passed all sorts of electoratal backing it had.

Kunda will earn his bread and butter from this. He will put down the Palace, the RNA and reframe the "Mob and Goon Movement" as Spring Movement. That's a nicely coined word, Jana Anadolan, People's Movement, Spring Movement. And best of all describe the terrorists and poor Indian Bihari Muslims who were killed in the MOBilisation as Martyrs.

Kunda we surely are having a one on one here. Aren't we? You bark and we will ignore yours but surely we will talk about your hatred and your efforts to bring UNstability Nepal!

SPAM – No unity of thought or purpose – One barks, another retracts, third speaks, fourth offends, fifth meows, sixth hisses…

Yesterday Prachanda (the KILLER) attacked RNA, RNA defended, SPAM attacked RNA, today SPAM defends RNA.

Yesterday we said RNA was correct and today (SPAM) Oli (yes, the same person who has spent a few hundred thousand exchequers dollars in travelling around the world in last few days) backtracks from SPAM's statement and defends RNA. Kantipur you got more propaganda coming up?

Check out the news below from nepalnews.

DPM Oli defends NA statement; criticizes Maoists

At a time when the statement issued by the Nepalese Army (NA) on the statement of Maoist chairman Prachana getting criticism from various quarters, Deputy Prime Minister (DPM) KP Sharma Oli has defended it and said, NA issued the statement as the government and the Defense Ministry could not take any initiation in this regard.

The Kantipur daily quoted DPM as saying that the remark of Maoist chairman Prachanda about the NA was not balanced and unsystematic.

He further said that such statement of Prachana might have negative impact in the talks.

Oli is also of the view that the media should not present news as it was spoken by Maoist chairman Prachanda in an unsystematic way.

Addressing a press conference after the high level talks with the leaders of seven political parties last Friday, Maoist supremo Prachanda had alleged the NA of doing nothing in its history other than killing Nepali people.

Prachanda alleged that Nepali Army had done nothing good except “murdering people and raping Nepali women.” The top rebel leader further said since the Nepali Army could not fight with India, China or the US, it should be reduced to around 20,000 from its present strength of 90,000.

In a statement issued on Thursday, spokesman of the NA, Brigadier General Nepal Bhusan Chand, said Nepali Army was seriously concerned over what it called objectionable comments and remarks made by the rebel leader “during the recent special government programme at an important venue which was telecast live all over the country and attended by top political leaders.”

“Nepali Army has—behind it—a history of over 225 years old culture of glorious nationalism, protection of territorial integrity and selfless sacrifice for people’s security. Nepal’s history is testimony to the fact that from the past to the present, the NA has always remained committed to protect the country’s sovereignty, territorial integrity and dignity of the people under the direct command of the prevailing constitutional government,” the statement added.

DPM Oli also added that Maoists are not only involved in development activities but also involved in raping women.

DPM Oli further said that he met with Chief of Army Staff on Friday as an acting Prime Minister and defense Minister.

The paper also quoted spokesman of the Defense Ministry as saying that the ministry is studying the statement of Maoist Supremo Prachanda.

Addressing a press conference on Friday, Minister for Agriculture and Cooperatives Mahanta Thakur has alleged that the Nepali Army was trying to sabotage the peace process by issuing such statements. nepalnews.com pb June 24 06

Just read the above heading as: SPA slaves licking Prachanda's dirty feed. 

Well, well. SPA isn't actually ruling Secular Maoists Republic of Nepal. M is ruling SPA and M is also ruling Nepal now, Openly!

We give you the latest example brought by (none other than) Kantipur (unreliable) news service.

If you read carefully, you come to the conclusion: M can say and do anything but Royal Nepal Army can't even defend itself forget about going on the offensive. SPA slaves, get prepared to be side kicked by M and this time there would be no RNA or Palace to save your mob mentality.

P.S.: We encourage you to boycott Kantipur but most importantly (if you can't stop yourself from reading spam) think with your mind while reading the Foreign and SPAM funded Kantipur.

NA trying to disrupt peace process: Minister Thakur

Kantipur Report

KATHMANDU, June 23 – Minister for Agriculture and Cooperatives and Nepali Congress (NC) central committee member Mahanta Thakur Friday accused the Nepali Army (NA) of trying to disrupt the ongoing peace process by issuing political statements.

Criticizing a statement issued by the NA on Thursday in which the army expressed "serious concern" over "misleading" comments by Maoist Chairman Prahcanda about the NA at the Prime Minister's Residence recently, Minister Thakur said, "The NA should not speak out against an individual."

Thakur made the remarks at an interaction programme in the capital on Friday.

"The NA issued the statement on its own after the Defence Ministry refused to issue it," Thakur said, adding this could send a negative message to the Maoists and "disrupt the peace process."

He also said that it was "inappropriate" for the army to issue such statement at a time when the Defence Minister was outside the country.

"The government's reaction will be made public after Prime Minister Koirala, who also holds the Defence Ministry portfolio, returns to the country" Thakur added.

PM Girija Prasad Koirala is currently in Bangkok for medical treatment.

Minister Thakur also said that the "monarchy, which has always conjured up controversies" was no longer needed.

"The NC has already removed all references to the king and monarchy from its statute so there will be no place for king and monarchy in the Constituent Assembly elections," Thakur said.

Issuing a statement on Thursday, the NA said it was "seriously concerned over objectionable comments and allegations" made by Prachanda at the Prime Minister's official residence in Baluwatar on June 16.

"The Nepali Army is seriously concerned over objectionable comments and allegations from Maoist chairman during the recent special government program organized at an important venue, which was telecast live all over the country and attended by top political leaders," a statement issued Thursday by NA’s Brigadier General Nepal Bhushan Chand, said.

On June 16 Prachanda had said the NA is good for nothing except "murdering people and raping Nepali women". The Maoist chairman also said that the 90000-strong NA should be reduced to 10,000 or 20,000.

OhNepal joined you in your campaign to boycott Kantipur. Kantipur's ethics are being questioned and it is often regarded as the 8th member of SPAM parties. It's support in instigating violence and mob-movement is a crime and OhNepal wants to see some justice in this department. This time Peoplesreview dares to lift up the curtains. Here is what Peoplesreview writes:

Kantipur propaganda

Kathmandu , 19 April: ‘Kantipur’ newspaper and TV are supporting the ongoing agitation by publishing and broadcasting fake news to delude the general people, writes Khantalas weekly.

Recently, a news of agitation joined by about fifty demonstrators in Chhapagaun, Lalitpur, was faked by ‘Kantipur’ TV news saying 'more than one thousand people' and aired the footage of Chitwan’s demonstration.

The popularity of ‘Kantipur’ has highly been diminished as it has been deceiving the news viewers by reading the news of one place and broadcasting the footage from the other to intensify the agitation.

Political parties responsible for present situation: Rewati Raman Subedi

Kathmandu, 19 April: “The practice and development of journalism during the fifteen years after the restoration of democracy in Nepal has been disappointing”, says journalist Rewati Raman Subedi in an interview to Ruprekha weekly.

“Journalists of Nepal are misusing the term ‘journalism’ as they have crossed the limit of press freedom. Every organization has its definite boundary and if someone tries to cross that boundary, it is not freedom, it is anarchy.”

“Only political organization holds the right to question the constitution but when it comes to Nepal, journalists are attacking the constitution openly. Anarchism is being promoted in the name press freedom.”

“When it comes to blaming the constitution and King for bringing Nepal into this condition, both constitution and the King is blameless as the political parties did not intend to revise the constitution when they were the ruling party and governing the nation. The appeal of seven parties for changing the constitution at this period of time is absurd.”
