Ridiculous Bahun Poudel

Poudel dismisses UN mediation in Terai talks Kantipur the government is, however, ready to accept any Nepalese citizen as a mediator but not an international mediator for talks. .... “We don’t understand what kind of forces they are,” Minister Poudel said adding, “What we want is to solve this internal crisis internally by ourselves. Even if they say that those people whom they trust should be appointed as mediators- we should try to solve the internal problem internally.” .... the UNMIN said that the UN body would consider the request only if the government and the agitating group call for such request formally in written. ...... the UN body can, however, send the request letter to the UN headquater and if any instructions come in this regard, then they would follow.

Talk To Goit

Poudel Bahun sounds like the king when he was trying to get the seven parties and the Maoists to surrender to his roadmap of first holding municipal elections, and then the parliamentary elections under his tutelage.

This is what Poudel Bahun has in mind. One, no UN mediation. You talk to me. Once we start talking, you listen to me. Better you listen to me even before we start talking, because you already know what I want. I want you to give up all your weapons. And then I want you to get out of the way of the November elections. And if we can't hold the elections in November because we were not able to do things like print ballot papers on time, we will blame it all on you, and we Bahuns will rule for another six months at least, and that is just so fine by us.

That is the Bahun gameplan.

Technically speaking, Goit, Jwala and the other 10 armed Madhesi outfits have it in their powers to disrupt the November polls. The Madhesi Janadhikar Forum also has that capability. Respectful talks with all these groups is a must. Those who want to skip that part are basically saying they are okay with not holding elections in November.

Poudel Bahun has a major attitude problem.

It is highly offensive and ridiculous that Poudel Bahun should bring up the sovereignty issue. The UN is already inside the country, damnit. Have you heard of the UNMIN, the biggest undertaking of its kind by the UN? The UNMIN has been doing great work. Arms management of the Maoists would not have been possible without the UNMIN's work.

So much blood, sweat and tears have gone to make possible the peace infrastructure that we are using now to mainstream the Maoists. Why not use that same infrastructure to mainstream also the Madhesi Maoists? Goit and Jwala are Maoists.

Poudel Bahun talking is Pahadi prejudice talking.

I hope the Madhesi Movement is not forced into looking at other options like waging the third, final chapter of the April Revolution.

I think the Bahun gameplan is to not hold elections in November and keep ruling. If you can stay on in power without holding elections, why would you want to hold elections? Especially if you will likely lose power if elections are held? That is what is going on.

If they will not peacefully let go of power, maybe they are asking for a mass movement to throw them out.

Poudel Bahun does not want a mediator.

Poudel Bahun does not want peace talks.

Poudel Bahun has no plans to put Madhesi fighters into cantonments.

Poudel Bahun has no plans to go for completely proportional elections to the constituent assembly.

Poudel Bahun is not for peace.

Poudel Bahun is not for elections.

Remembering Sushila Koirala compassionate towards all including Biswa Bandhu Thapa, King Mahendra, Birendra and every one else ..... About Manisha, her grand daughter, proudly she said, “If any one of the family member was able to beat BP in their profession it is Manisha.” She was at peak in Bollywood at that time.

On King Birendra she said “We should respect him.” I asked, “But why so, he has made you suffer so much?” She replied, “Well, he is the Head of the State. Look at how much Thai people love their King.” ...... “Well the Kings (ours) were listening to wrong people. They needed better advisors. Let us remember he let us go for his (BP’s) treatment. That was humane gesture. He could have rejected the doctor’s request. He could have let him die in jail. It could have been worse.” .....
