Because the Madhesi Movement is no crime, and even if it is, he has had nothing to do with it.
He should have been arrested a long time ago. But for the atrocities of the April Revolution.
Krishna Sitaula is the Kamal Thapa of the Madhesi Movement. Girija Koirala is the Gyane of the Madhesi Movement.
Right now Krishna Sitaula's resignation and agreeing to the basic demands might be enough. But wait a few more days and that is not going to be enough. Girija himself is going to have to resign.
These protests will continue until the basic demands are met.
These Pahadi Bahuns believe their own lies. They see royalist hands behind the Madhesi Movement. They are so totally blind.
मधेशसे काँग्रेसका पत्ता साफ करो
मधेशसे कम्िनष्टका पत्ता साफ करो
मधेशसे राजावादीका पत्ता साफ करो
So now that Kamal Thapa is arrested, the unrest should die down, because according to Krishna Sitaula, Kamal Thapa has had the remote control of the unrest.मधेशसे कम्िनष्टका पत्ता साफ करो
मधेशसे राजावादीका पत्ता साफ करो
Who will they arrest next? Swami Shankaracharya?
This behavior goes on to show how deep-seated the anti-Madhesi prejudice is amongst the Pahadi Bahuns of the Congress and the Communist parties.
The Madhesis want a republic. The Madhesis want the villains of the April Revolution brought to justice. It is Girija who does not want those things. Girija should not project his political insecurities on the Madhesh.
The seven Pahadi parties have no option but to fulfill the basic demands of the Madhesi people.
