Nepalgunj II: This Is A Repeat



The Maoists disrupted the Madhesi Janadhikar Forum mass meeting recently in Nepalgunj. They used physical force to that effect. The state security forces did not intervene.

But now the state security forces have intervened. They went hand in hand with the illegitimate Maoist army to provide protection to Prachanda's mass meeting in that same town.



This is an exact repeat of what happened in Nepalgunj during the last week of December.

The Pahadis are saying, you saw it right, we did wrong, and we stand by it, and, by the way, we just performed a repeat. This is a challenge to the Madhesis worldwide.

I am not saying there should have been a Madhesi reprisal, that the Madhesis should have also gone ahead and disrupted the Maoist mass meeting.



But Prachanda's Nepalgunj visit was more like a royal visit back in the days. Who is Prachanda, the new Raja of Nepal? These was a total security blanket on the town. The state security forces participated in the welcome.

Not a single party in power issued a statement of protest when the two recent MJF mass meetings were disrupted by the Maoist goondas, in Bhairahawa and Nepalgunj respectively. And in so doing, all the Pahadi parties have made it very clear where they stand. They stand with the Maoists. And so they have to share blame, take blame.




The Maoists waited until they were done with their mass meetings in the eastern Terai, the Madhesi heartland. And then they showed their true colors. For their Biratnagar mass meeting, they brought in truckloads of Pahadis from the Pahad. They knew Madhesis were not going to show up.

Land reform is a Madhesi agenda. The Maoists need not apply.

Federal republic is a Madhesi agenda. The Maoists need not apply.

Maobadi ka Madhesh se patta saf karo.

Prachanda receives two-tier security during his Nepalgunj address the Maoist cadres and state security forces patrolled the major thoroughfares of this southwestern city of the country since early morning ahead of Maoist Chairman Prachanda's address today. ...... Maoist cadres in civilian garb had arrived in Nepalgunj last night itself ...... an extensive security detail has been arranged to maintain surveillance on those who could possibly disrupt the programme ...... a security team of 500 in addition to 500 volunteers had been deployed at the Nepalgunj venue. ..... aside from the Maoist security detail, the local administration has arranged a large number of Nepal Police and Armed Police Force personnel to maintain security in the region. ....... Security in Nepalgunj has been beefed up following the disruption of the Madheshi People's Rights Forum's mass meeting by the Maoists here three days ago. The heightened security has come in consideration of a possible MPRF retaliation during today's address.
