Maoists to leave Prachandapath for communist unity NepalNews Ram Bahadur Thapa a.k.a. Badal has said that the party is ready to leave its political line of Prachandapath for unity among all communist parties. ...... there is no need of being separate communist parties as they are one in certain principles ..... “We have proposed a new ideological base for unity.” ..... there is a need of forming republican front with non communist parties and unity among all communist parties. ...... elections of the constituent assembly may not be held in mid-June 2007 due to delay in promulgating interim constitution and forming interim government. ...... they have agreed to re-establish police posts only after formation of interim government, adding, “If the government does not move as per the agreement it might invite confrontation.”
I think that the idea is fabulous. I hope it gets carried out. The only founding principle can be that of one person, one vote. Hold unity talks, then organize a convention, and elect new leadership at all levels. Do it all in a transparent, democratic way.
This might do more to usher permanent peace in the country than even a Truth And Reconciliaiton Commission. (
Land Reform, Truth And Reconciliation) This will also bring the Bahunbaad inside the UML, and the Pahadibaad inside the Maoist Party to an end, hopefully.
There are not enough Madhesis and Janajatis among the top leadership of the Maoists either. Matrika Prasad Yadav looks like were a token Madhesi. The anti-Madhesi prejudice in Nepal is so strong, not even PrachandaPath seems to have cured it. By fair estimates, at least a third of the Maoist central committee ought to have been Madhesi. Why the gap?
I have tried selling my
प्रस्तािवत संिवधान to my Sadbhavana former colleagues. So far I have not even been able to engage them in a conversation on it, let alone sell it. They refuse to even take a look at the document, let alone express their disagreements with the specifics. They get stuck with the idea that I have no provision for separate states of the Terai.
A unification convention will also help the Maoists get rid of their unscientific nine state map without losing face. They can claim they ditched both PrachandaPath and the nine state map for the sake of party unification.
I have never thought highly of Girija Koirala. He is a conservative. He is never the source of new ideas. Instead he will do all to oppose new ideas for no other reason than that those are new ideas. He exemplifies the intellectual defensiveness of someone of mediocre intelligence. He has engineered enormous delays to the drafting of the interim constitution. The weird part is there is not an iota of difference between the initial first draft and the recent final draft. So what was he opposing?
If the communists were to unify, they will easily emerge the largest party in the interim parliament. When that happens, I will bet you a hundred rupees Prachanda will stake claim for the post of interim Prime Minister for that unified communist party, and legitimately so. That unified communist party could seek an alliance with other parties and go ahead and declare Nepal a republic even before the constituent assembly elections are held. Heck, if such an alliance had the required two-thirds majority, it could go for an interim federal structure as well.
This is getting interesting.
My primary interest by now with the Maoists in Nepal is China. I envision a China that is a federal, multi-party democracy where the Chinese Communist Party is still by far the largest party. I want the Chinese Communist Party to teach all countries in the Global South as to how to engineer double digit economic growth rates for the next few decades. And I want the best by Tibet. I am a Buddhist. Nepal is my fatherland, India is my country of birth and motherland, Tibet is my spiritual homeland.
If all communist parties in Nepal were to unify and become one party, all communist parties in India, including the Maoists there, are going to come under similar pressure. And if that materializes, nothing stops that unified Communist Party of India from emerging the largest party in India. You are looking at Prakash Karat for Prime Minister.
These Nepali Maoists are really after something big. But they are going to have to first adopt the basic premise of state funded political parties.
Laloo Yadav: Future Prime Minister Of India
This is what I propose to them: Janata Dal Constitution (August 8, 2005).
This should push all the non-communist parties in Nepal to similarly become one, and the Janata Dal Constitution would apply to them as well. And you will be looking at Nepal as a two party state in the framework of this प्रस्तािवत संिवधान. The only obvious roadblock is Girija. And there are people who think he is some kind of a hero. The guy simply needs to retire.
Welcome to the Asian Century.
