ANONYM: Association Of Nepali Organizations In New York Metro

मई १२ िदउँसो १ बजे सेन्ट्रल पार्क दक्िषण पूर्व कोणामा नभम्बर १२ को िमिटङको िनर्णय अनुसार मेरो अध्यक्षता रहेको संगठन हाम्रो नेपालको तत्वावधानमा न्यु यर्क मेट्रोका सबै नेपाली संगठनका अध्यक्ष अथवा प्रितिनिधलाई यसै सन्देश मार्फत म डाक्दछु। कृपया १० िमनेट अगािड नै अाउनुहोला तािक हाम्रो िमिटङ समयमै शुरू हुन सकोस्।

कोहीले भन्लान सेन्ट्रल पार्कमा िकन? जाडो गयो। गर्मी अायो। गर्मीलाई स्वागत गरौं। अमेिरकाको सबैभन्दा पुरानो पार्क सेन्ट्रल पार्क। त्यो ऐितहािसक िमिटङ जसले न्यु यर्क मेट्रोका सबै नेपाली संगठनको छाता संगठनको स्थापना गर्नेछ भन्ने मैले पुर्ण िवश्वास िलएको छु त्यसकालािग सेन्ट्रल पार्कभन्दा बढी उपयुक्त ठाउँ अरू कुन हुन सक्छ? छाता संगठन स्थापना गर्नुपर्ने भनेको न्यु यर्कको मेनस्ट्रीममा नेपाली कम्युिनटीलाई लगौं भन्ने अाग्रह हो। त्यसैले क्वीन्सको कुनै एकान्त कुनामा लुकीिछपी भेंट्नुभन्दा खुल्लमखुल्ला न्यु यर्क शहरको सबैभन्दा केन्द्रीय स्थलमा भेंट्नु उपयुक्त म देख्दछु।

ताराजीले पिहलो कदम चाल्नुभयो, खगेन्द्रजीले त्यस प्रयासमा तल्ला थप्नुभयो। मेरो छाता संगठनको प्रस्ताव वहाँहरूको िवरोधी नभएर वहाँहरूकै काँधमािथ चढेर नेपाली कम्युिनटीलाई अझै संगिठत र बिलयो बनाउन खोज्ने प्रयास हो।

म चाहौंला मई १२ को िमिटङ दुई घण्टाभन्दा बढी नलम्िबयोस्। मैले स्वागत भाषण तीन िमनेट गरौंला। त्यसपिछ िवगत छ मिहनाका कर्िडनेशन किमटीका हाम्रा कर्िडनेटर तारा िनरौलाले तीन िमनेट बोल्नुहोला िवगत छ मिहनाका हाम्रा कम्युिनटीका गितिविधहरूबारे। त्यसपिछ उपस्िथत ३०-३५ जनाले एक िमनेटभन्दा कम लगाएर अा-अाफ्नो नाम, पिरचय, संगठनको नाम भन्नुहोला। यसरी अाधा घन्टा िबत्नेछ।

त्यसपिछ मैले छाता संगठनको प्रस्ताव राख्नेछु। त्यसबारे सबैले पालैिपलो १-१ िमनेट बोल्नुहुनेछ। यसरी ३० िमनेट जित िबत्नेछ। त्यसपिछ यिद सर्वसम्मतबाट प्रस्ताव पािरत हुने नदेिखएमा दोस्रो राउण्ड छलफल हुनेछ। त्यसमा प्रमुख ४-५ जनाले २-२ िमनेट बोल्नुहुनेछ। त्यसपिछ खुल्लमखुल्ला भोिटङ हुनेछ। मलाई पुर्ण िवश्वास छ छाता संगठनको प्रस्ताव भारी बहुमतबाट पािरत हुनेछ भन्ने कुरा। यिद पािरत भएन भने मई मिहनाको िमिटङको कन्िभनरको हैिसयतले म अागामी छ मिहनाकालािग कर्िडनेटर हुन्छु र नभम्बरकोकन्िभनर चुन्नुपर्नेछ।

छाता संगठनको प्रस्ताव पािरत भएर छाता संगठनको स्थापना भएमा हामीले तुरुन्तै केही महत्वपूर्ण िनर्णयहरू गर्नुपर्ने हुन्छ। पिहलो हो पाँच पदािधकारीको िनर्वाचन। अध्यक्ष, २ उपाध्यक्ष, सेक्रेटरी, र ट्रेजरर। म अध्यक्ष पदको दावेदार हुँ। म चाहौंला िनर्िवरोध नै िनर्वािचत होअौं। होइन भने चुनाव हुन्छ। उम्मेदवारहरूले २-२ िमनेट बोलनेछन्। त्यसपिछ हात उठाएर खुल्लमखुल्ला भोिटङ हुन्छ। अरूहरू पदहरूकालािग अा-अाफै अगािड अाउनुपर्यो। लुना रंिजत सेक्रेटरी भइिदए हुन्थ्यो, चन्द्र प्रकाश शर्मा ट्रेजरर भइिदए हुन्थ्यो भन्ने त मलाई लागेको हो। जनजाित समुहबाट कोही एक जना उपाध्यक्ष भए हुन्थ्यो जस्तो त मलाई लागेको हो।

त्यसपिछ २-४ वटा किमटी गठन गर्नुपर्ने भएकोछ। पिहलो हो Social Affairs Committee। मेरो प्रस्ताव रहनेछ ताराजीले यसको अध्यक्ता गर्नुहोस्। िविभन्न नेपाली कार्यक्रमहरूमा वहाँलाई मुख्य अितिथको रूपमा डाक्ने गरेको मैले देखेको छु। त्यो कायम रहोस्।

दोस्रो हो Political Committee। यसमा युथ काउन्िसल, अलायन्स, टेक गुरूङवाला फोरम, मेरै हाम्रो नेपाल, लुनाको अिधकार सम्िमिलत रहने छन्। हामीले न्यु यर्कमा नेपालीहरूलाई मतािधकार िदलाउनकालािग खट्नेछौं। यस किमटीको प्रमुख काम हुनेछ मेट्िरक्स बनाउने र दशौं हजारको संख्यामा नेपालीहरूलाई संगिठत गर्ने। मेट्िरक्स ले हामीलाई नेपाली कम्युिनटी बािहर जान पिन सघाउनेछ। अरू दक्िषण एिसयाली, एिसयाली समूहहरू, अफ्िरकी र िहस्प्यािनक समूहहरू। हामीले िवस्तारै सबैलाई नेतृत्व प्रदान गर्नेछौं। Global South को एकता चािहयो।

तेस्रो Community Center Feasibility Committee। कम्युिनटी सेन्टर खोल्ने िक नखोल्ने, खोल्ने भए कसरी खोल्ने जस्ता कुरा छन्।

चौथो, Convention Committee। प्रत्येक मे मिहनामा हामीले एउटा नेपाली कन्भेन्शन गर्ने। हाम्रो छाता संगठनको अाम्दानीको मुख्य स्रोत यही नै हुनेछ।

र यी सबै कामकालािग छ मिहनामा एक पटक हामी भेला हुने, अरू बेलाकालािग मैले एउटा अनलाइन अिफस खोलेको छु। ANONYM: Online Office हामीले इन्टरनेट र इमेलको भरपुर प्रयोग गर्नुपर्छ। मुखामुख भेटेर मात्र काम हुने पिरपाटी त्याग्नुपर्छ नत्र िक त कामै हुँदैन, िक त एकदम िढलो हुन्छ। अनलाइन अिफसमा नेपालीमा लेख्ने सुिवधा पिन छ।

र एउटा महत्वपूर्ण कुरा। अािदवासी जनजाित महासंघलाई डाउन पार्न यो छाता संगठन खोल्न लागेको भन्ने हल्ला पिन यत्रतत्र सुिनन्छ। त्यो सही होइन। नेपालको पिरप्रेक्षयमा जनजाित अिधकारकालािग न्यु यर्कको अािदवासी जनजाित महासंघले एकदमै ठुलो भूिमका खेल्दै अाएको छ र त्यो संघर्ष त जारी नै छ र त्यसप्रित मेरो पुरा नैितक समर्थन छ।

तर यो न्यु यर्कमा छाता संगठन िकन खोल्नुपरेको भन्दा खेिर नेपालमा जसरी मधेशी, जनजाित, दिलत, मिहला राजनीितक रूपले िपछिडएका छन् त्यसै गरी न्यु यर्कमा सबै नेपाली िपछिडएका छन, चाहे त्यो नेपाली बाहुन होस्, क्षेत्री होस्, मधेशी जनजाित जेसुकै होस्। र यो छाता संगठनको अाइिडया र प्रेरणा नै मैले अािदवासी जनजाित महासंघ बाट पाएको हुँ। यो छाता संगठनले न्यु यर्कमा संघर्ष गर्नेछ सबै नेपालीकालािग। अािदवासी जनजाित महासंघको अाफ्नै स्थान छ र त्यो कायम नै रहनेछ।

मई १२ िदउँसो १ बजे सेन्ट्रल पार्क दक्िषण पूर्व कोणामा अाउन निबर्िसनुहोला। १० िमनेट अगािड नै अाउनुहोला।
