Sitaula Resign, Koirala Declare Madhesh State, Now

The biggest formal reason being put forth for Krishna Sitaula not resigning is that he has played an important role in bringing the Maoists into the peace process. To my mind Sitaula's handling of the peace process is the number one reason why he should be sacked. He has been an appeaser.

That is not the number one reason why he should resign, but that is the number one reason he should be sacked. The number one reason he should resign is because his Home Ministry and the Maoists who work in collaboration with that Home Ministry have killed 40 Madhesis during the course of the Madhesi Movement. That is why he should resign.

Kamal Thapa and Gyanendra Shah killed 21 during the April Revolution. Their entire regime collapsed and the monarchy is about to get demolished as an institution. 21 deaths have that much power.

40 deaths will not go in vain. Sitaula will resign.

But what if it were true that he has played an important role in the peace process, and this really was a peace process and not an appeasement process, and the Maoists truly had become a political party, which they clearly have not.

Even then Sitaula would have had to resign. His resignation is not a progress report on his career. The demand of his resignation is strictly about one thing: 38 deaths during the 21 days of the Madhesi Movement, and two plus deaths in the aftermath during the second ongoing round of that same movement.

The call for his resignation is nothing to do with the fact that he has botched the peace process by acting like he has no spine. It is nothing to do with the fact that his own party cadres are having to live in fear of the Maoists in the villages. The Maoists beat up his party cadres in Kathmandu.

The call emanates from the 38 deaths during the 21 glory days of the Madhesi Movement.

Krishna Sitaula has to go. Or there will be no constituent assembly elections.

Krishna Sitaula has to go. Or the peace process is going to come unstuck.

Krishna Sitaula has to go. Or the country is going to stay paralyzed for days, weeks, as long as need be.

The Madhesi are awake. The Janajati are awake. They are not about to go back to sleep.

The Maoists don't want him to resign. If he resigns, the probe commission will have to be formed. The Maoist who murdered the 16 year old Mahato in Lahan will have to go to jail for life. The Maoists don't want that. In the Maoist lexicon, a murder is not a murder. In the Maoist worldview, if the Maoists disrespect the peace agreements, you are supposed to act like you did not see, you are supposed to look the other way, and act like there is a peace process going on in the country.

Those who are thus scared of the Maoists need to get inspired by the Madhesi Movement. Krishna Sitaula has lessons to learn from the Madhesi Movement. If he wants his party cadres to no longer fear the Maoists, but he does not know how to make that happen, he needs to look at the Madhesi Movement. The Madhesi Movement has ended the jungle raj of the Maoists in the Madhesh. The Janajati Movement will end the jungle raj of the Maoists in the Pahad.

The Madhesi Movement is the peace process that Nepal has been begging for. Krishna Sitaula's has been an appeasement process. He gave everything the Maoists asked for and got nothing in return. The Maoists have taken a ton of money from the government. And there is no accountability. Where did all that money go? Did the Maoists save it for electoral purposes? Is that the money the Maoists use to organize their fancy, elaborate mass meetings? Is that the money they use for the upkeep of their militia that has its presence in every nook and corner of the country?

The Madhesi Movement is the urgent alarm bell the country needed. The Pahadis need to be thankful to the Madhesi Movement. Or they were all heading towards the cliff.

Appeasement - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Appeasement is a policy of accepting the imposed conditions of an aggressor in lieu of armed resistance, usually at the sacrifice of principles. Since World War II, the term has gained a negative connotation in the British government, in politics and in general, of weakness, cowardice and self-deception. Most famous for being Neville Chamberlain's foreign policy during the inter war period 1919-1939 when he used a policy of appeasement to prevent another world war.
Neville Chamberlain - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Arthur Neville Chamberlain(18 March 1869 – 9 November 1940), known as Neville Chamberlain regarding the abandonment of , was a BritishConservative politician and Prime Minister of the United Kingdom from 1937 to 1940. .... Chamberlain is perhaps the most ill-regarded British Prime Minister of the 20th century in the popular mind internationally, because of his policy of appeasement towards Nazi Germany regarding the abandonment of Czechoslovakia to Hitler at Munich in 1938. In the same year he also gave up the Irish Free State Royal Navy ports, in practice making it safe for German submarines to stay about 200 miles west of the Irish coast out of range of the Royal Navy, where they could pick off merchant shipping at will.
