Dr. Shyam Sir,
I became very glad to reading your press note. That is what every Nepalese
organization should express solidarity to the historic and populer movement
of Nepal to restoration of complete ( Loktantra). I think there will be very
effective if we could organize a protest demostration in every part of the
USA against the autocratic regime in Nepal.

Appeal to Boycott Nepal King’s Embassies and Missions Aboard

Dear Friends and Friends of Nepal,

As you are all aware of, thousands of peaceful demonstrators have been victims of brutality perpetrated by the royal government of Nepal. At least eight demonstrators have been killed by security forces and hundreds of people are sustaining bullet injuries and many have been baton-charged and injured. Yet, more and more Nepalese people are taking to the streets, risking their lives and committed to continue the demonstration until the king’s brutal regime ends and the full-fledged democracy is established.

It is regrettable to see that when people are trying to make their protests as peaceful as they can, the authoritarian government of Nepal led by King Gynanedra is all set to suppress the popular uprising at any cost. There is evidence that security forces of Nepal have been ordered to infiltrate protest groups to make the demonstrations violent by deliberately provoking the protesters. At the same time, there is also evidence that the authoritarian, undemocratic and hand-picked government of Nepal has provided a huge funding and directed its overseas embassies and missions to sabotage the international support for Nepal’s ongoing movement for democracy by supplying wrong information to the international community. For example, we have credible information that some missions have briefed the foreign governments that security forces of Nepal have been forced to use excessive force because of so called Maoist infiltrations in the demonstrations. We strongly believe that the Nepalese embassies and missions, which are currently directed by the government led by King Gynendra that doesn’t represent majority of the Nepalese people, are working to consolidate the king’s brutal regime and weaken the ongoing pro-democratic movement of Nepal.

Thus, the Democratic Youth Council in USA (NDYCUSA), in solidarity to the ongoing movement in Nepal, would like to appeal to all the organizations of the Nepali Diaspora and the members of Nepali Community in the US and other countries to boycott the programs organized by Nepali embassies and missions and events, where the representatives from the embassies, missions or the Nepal government, have been invited. We urge all of you to boycott these program and events until a full-fledged democracy is established in Nepal. We hope that your boycott would contribute significantly to the end of king’s tyranny and brutality in Nepal.

Sincerely yours,

Anand Bist

President

Nepalese Democratic Youth Council in USA

Smugglers, Sadists, Sycophants Have Infiltrated This Regime

The king's army is said to be infested with people in the top ranks who are engaged in massive drug trafficking as a source of income. Grabbing state power was a logical next step for them. They already had much control. They bribed, threatened, cajoled, ran rackets and otherwise prevailed in their mafia ways even when they did not have total power. Their palatial homes are proof.

There are people in the police, starting with Home Minister Kamal Thapa, who are clinically proven sadists. He is said to keep his home dirty deliberately. Swatting flies is his favorite pastime, it has been reported.

It is not true the Maoists have infiltrated the seven party alliance rallies, but it is true smugglers and sadists have long infiltrated this regime. And there are a handful of sycophants who will be the earliest people to abandon the sinking ship, for they never got onto the ship out of any love for the king. They went for profit. They will know when to lose interest.

But the revolution is about to smash the old order. Freedom beckons the people out into the streets.

The Army Is Preparing To Totally Abandon The King

Many top brass have sent out feelers to Delhi that if the seven party alliance will play the game, they will ally with the alliance to get rid of the king and fight the Maoists. The army is going to come under the parliament. The parliament may order the army to keep at war, or declare peace. The army does not get to strike any kind of a bargain beforehand. The parliament will command the army. The alliance will give orders to the army. That is how it will happen.

Another sign. The army folks in Kakani were driving Madhav Nepal to freedom. And then half way they turned around explaining they just got orders from "above." These army folks in Kakani are trying to get onto the good side of the guy who will soon be their Commander In Chief. They are trying hard to give Madhav Nepal the impression they are simply following orders. They are not guilty of imprisoning him. That is an army unit that now knows which way the wind is blowing.

Yet another sign. A crowd in Nepalgunj walked past the army barrack to go demolish a Gyanendra statue under construction. The army folks kicked back and relaxed saying it is a public road.

The Police, The Army

We need to win over both. We already got the bureaucracy. We even got Kamal Thapa's personal assistant.

We need to get the police and the army on our side to offer physical protection to the revolutionary parliament.

The US does not want to see the king fleeing the country clinging to the wings of a helicopter, Moriarty told CNN....... Asked what kind of gesture the US expected from the king to effect reconciliation with the opposition parties, his impromptu reply was, "preferably not the one with the middle finger".
