Nepalgunj Looting: Pahadi On Madhesi Violence

I don't get an impression Pahadi and Madhesi mobs clashed in Nepalgunj. The video shows the Pahadis went on a rampage in Nepalgunj. They attacked many Madhesi business establishments at the heart of that town. Pahadi police provided them cover and protection.

ये तो जिलयावाला बाग हो गया।

This was no riot. This was a hate crime. A mob was involved. This was a crime committed by the state. The state provided protection to the criminals. This was meant as a reprisal for the peaceful Terai Band organized by the Sadbhavana (Anandi) a few days before that. This was designed to silence the Madhesi voice. This can not be tolerated.

Prabasi Madhesi

If not now, when? When will you wake up? There are three elements to power: money, message, organization. The Prabasi Madhesi are going to have to cough up some money to pour into the movement. People like Upendra Mahato and Aditya Jha are going to have to show up. Upendra Mahato is easily the most prominent Prabasi Nepali. There is noone else who is even close. Now is time to show up.

ANTA is going to have to issue a strong statement on this one.

http://www.MegaShare.com/90826

And we are going to have to work with the activists and leaders at the other end to hone the message.

And we are going to have to build the organization at both ends. Let's issue the ANTA whip and let's start raising funds.

सद्भावना (अानन्दी) ही क्यों

मधेशी अान्दोलन पार्टी बेिसस पर नहीं होनी चािहए। लोग ऐसा बोल्ते हैं। मैं भी कहता हुँ एजेण्डा बेिसस पर होनी चािहए। समान जनसंख्या पर िनर्वाचन क्षेत्रका िनर्धारण, सभी मधेशी को नागिरकता पत्र प्रदान। क्या ये एजेण्डा नहीं है? अगर है तो उस पर काँग्रेस, एमाले, माअोवादी मधेशी क्यों नहीं अाते?

िजस तरह लोकतन्त्रके अान्दोलनमें राप्रपा (कमल थापा) और सद्भावना (बद्री मण्डल) िवपक्षी थे ठीक उसी तरह काँग्रेस, एमाले, माअोवादी मधेशी िवपक्षी के रूप में िदख रहे हैं। या तो वो मधेशी एजेण्डा और मधेशी अान्दोलन के पक्ष में अावे, अगर नहीं तो वो िवपक्षी हैं।

और हमें इस बातकी गर्व होनी चािहए िक सद्भावना (अानन्दी) की अध्यक्ष अानन्दी देवी एक मिहला हैं। दुसरे पार्टी मिहला समानताकी िसर्फ गप्प करते है।

Dear Paramendra,

Wish you Happy and prosperous New Year 2007. We appreciate your efforts for the betterment of Nepalese people and democracy in Nepal .

Here is the video clip of Nepalganj riot ( Dec. 26, 2006 ) attached with. We request you to paste it in your DFN site.

http://www.MegaShare.com/90826

This clip explains the whole event how Nepal Police under the command of SP Nepalganj and Pahadias looted, despoiled and burnt closed shops of Madhesies killing 3 people at least. SP of Nepalganj led himself . Sub-inspector Pramod KC is seen looting and breaking shops with his face covered with his hankie. Police fired bullets on Madhesies when they tried to move to stop the barbarous and savage act. Pahadias apprize police chanting slogans for police and against Madhesies, like Nepal Police – Zindabad and Madise chor – Desh Chhor.

* Can one believe that this was done without any pre-intimation to home minister, PM GP Koirala and NC Vice-president Sushil Koirala who is MP of Nepalganj people and is considered as one of the most powerful person of Nepal ?

* What message Govt. of Nepal wants to forward towards Madhesi community?

* Media which is totally under control of Pahadias, twisted the information and collectively blamed NSP (A) for the event in their reports while it was the result of a confidential meeting of Pahadia leaders of all parties a day before.

* Human Right organizations (all conducted )by Pahadias are silent.

The event was a pre-planned and strategic one to teach Madhesies a lesson who are being organized demanding federal autonomy and giving up the companies of Pahadia leaders. No action against CDO, SP and others clearly recognized proves their intention. All parties including NCP (Maoists) are saving them.

How long Madhesies should pay like this to stay united in Nepal?

Hope to get your comment soon.

NEPAL: Fresh series of attacks on Dalit temple worshippers Their worship was disrupted when upper caste people started protesting against their very presence in the temple, vandalizing the local offices of Dalit representative organizations, and physically attacking Dalit worshippers with swords, knifes and other weapons. Frenzied higher caste protestors vandalized and set fire to the local offices of the Educational Development Centre (EDC) and the Feminist Dalit Organization (FEDO), as well as the DAO of Doti District. Up to 60 Dalits and 5 policemen, including District Superintendent of Police (DSP) Moti Singh Dhami, were injured and are in serious condition........ A public protest was held on the September 7, by local non-Dalits against all Dalits, Dalit representative organizations, Dalit supporters and the like. Local authorities took no action in dismantling this protest. ...... On September 20, local Dalits, Dalit rights activists, human rights activists and the like organized a public protest march on Prime Minister Girija Prasad Koirala's residence, in which they also called for the immediate resignation of Nepal's home minister. The primary purpose of the protest march was to submit a memorandum to Prime Minister Koirala, openly condemning the Doti incidents. However, over 33 Dalit protestors were arrested by security forces during the course of the protest, and then detained at the Bhairavnath Barracks at Maharganj, Kathmandu.
nepaldalitinfo website » Over 50 injured in clash between Dalits ... a mere declaration of the country as ‘untouchability free’ is not enough, and a concrete law, strong policies and associated programming are necessary for wiping out the age-old practice against the humanity ...... this could be taken as an acid test if the parliamentary declaration had any effect, and the test failed miserably. ....... The general apathy of the governmental agencies and their agents towards the Shaileswori temple case cannot be acceptable at a time, when the country is destined for swipping progressive changes. ...... Administrators were mum when such activity took place.
Jagaran Media Center - Nepal The condition of 15 among the injured is critical. Even dalit women were injured in the attack. .... The rowdy group also attacked journalists who, along with rights workers, fled from the district headquarters Silgadi fearing for their lives. ...... "Non-dalits broke the heads of dalits because of the district administration's negligence," said Dharma Singh Bishwokarma, coordinator of Dalit United Struggle Committee. "The administration allowed pro-king elements who do not want the House declaration enforced, to do as they wish," he added. ......... The group also attacked journalists Min Bam, Tekendra Deuba, Ran Bahadur Bohara and Siddhiram Upadhyaya and even seized a camera. ....... It has also accused the local administration of being a mute spectator to blatant violation of law. The statement says that Silgadi bazaar is tense and dalits are either fleeing the place or hiding in groups.

NepalPAC: A Great, But Limited Idea

Announcing the Establishment of Nepalese American Political Action Committee (NepalPAC)

Dear Friends, Happy New Year 2007.

We are pleased to announce the establishment of the Nepalese American Political Action Committee (NepalPAC) in the U.S.A. The goal of this new organization is to solicit contributions from anyone in the general public who may lawfully make a contribution in connection with a federal election and to make contributions to federal candidates, party committees, or other Political Action Committees (PACs) in the U.S.A. NepalPAC is expected to usher the Nepalese Americans into the American political mainstream.

NepalPAC is the first organization founded by Nepalese Americans in the U.S.A. under the Federal Election Campaign Act. It acts in a bipartisan manner and is not affiliated to any political party – Democratic or Republican. In order to make the voices of Nepalese Americans heard among U.S. leaders including Senators and Congressmen or Congresswomen, it is imperative for us to organize ourselves into a critical mass so that these leaders are resourcefully informed about Nepalese Americans in the U.S.A. as well as the common people in Nepal.

You are invited to become a Founding Member or a Member of NepalPAC. The admission fee for Founding Member is $300 and for Member, it is $100, which also includes the annual dues for 2007. The annual renewal fee for both categories of membership is $100 per year.

Although membership in NepalPAC is legally limited to U.S. citizens or permanent residents, we ask the general Nepalese community in the U.S.A. for its broad support in our efforts to make meaningful impact on the lives of Nepalese Americans in the U.S.A. or the common people in Nepal.

Please visit our website www.NepalPAC.org for details. We urge you to fill in the membership application form and send it with your check to the address shown. As always, please feel free to contact us if you have any questions or concerns.

On behalf of the NepalPAC Adhoc Committee,
Prahlad D. Pant, Ph.D.
Coordinator

The Matrix, Vision, Spread Democracy, Revolution

NepalPAC is a great, but limited idea. It had to be done, and I am glad it is being done. But of the 100,000 plus Nepalis in the US, how many are citizens? A handful. Are there even a thousand? Most are permanent residents.

Political empowerment can be more truly and widely achieved by helping build The Matrix. This will be the way for the Nepalis to earn voting rights in New York City en masse. And then you are talking. We also need to build The Matrix to put Obama in the White House. We need some Third World blood in the White House. And then we have to help this country reimagine the whole concept of immigration in this day and age of globalization and the internet.

And we have to mass organize the Nepalis. We have to expand and democratize the existing Nepali organizations.

ANONYC: Proposed Constitution

Right now there is too much elitism going on.

What we don't have in numbers, we can more than make up for with quality of organization. And The Matrix is it. If we get in early and strong, we could become the nucleus of The Matrix. And then we will be talking.

It pains me no ends to see Nepalis who did so much for the democracy movement in Nepal to not even have the vocabulary to describe the current powerlessness of the Nepalis in the American context. Those who don't know that they don't know.

Salvation is simple. Build The Matrix.

Koirala for curtailing some powers of PM in interim constitution NepalNews it is not appropriate to give unlimited powers to the Prime Minister including appointment of the Chief Justice ...... Commenting on recent nomination of ambassadors in different countries, Koirala said that the government will not withdraw the nominations. ....... He further informed that the Maoists had agreed not to create obstacles for re-establishing displaced police posts and the return secretaries of village development committees to their respective villages. ....... Commenting on the recent violent activities of Janatantrik Terai Mukti Morcha (JTMM), a breakaway faction of Maoists, Koirala said that the government will be compelled to take strong action if they continued such activities. ...... Nepali Congress will decide the agenda for the elections of the constituent assembly after party leaders return from the districts
The transitional period will be difficult to manage by this constitution: Acharya the constitution finalized by the political parties has failed to reflect the people’s aspiration expressed during the April movement. ..... The interim constitution established supremacy of politics, neglecting the supremacy of constitution, the internationally recognized principle. ........ The source of authority of the present constitution is the Jana Andolan (People’s Movement) II but the preamble has not mentioned it ...... Though the constitution has the provision for corruption control and ending of impunity, there is a provision of pardon in Article 151, which will promote impunity and there is no mechanism for ending corruption. ...... in a parliamentary system, the same person cannot be the head of the state and also the head of the government. ...... the constitution has assumed that there will be parliamentary system even after the election of the constituent assembly ...... Article 82 of the constitution has mentioned that the constituent assembly will be dissolved after the constitution drafted from the CA comes into force, but it also has the provision that the CA might work till a new legislature is formed ......... the Prime Minister will be the head of the state and the government, which means there is no role for monarchy. If the constitution does not give recognition to the crown, there will be no monarchy in the country. ...... the situation will be complex after the election of the constituent assembly. The first provision is that the Prime Minister will be appointed through consensus, but if that does not happen, the leader of the political party with majority will be the Prime Minister, who might misuse his power. The misuse of power is one concern, but there is also confusion in principle as to what kind of government it will be. ........ If the Prime Minister is to appoint the CJ, there will not be independence of Judiciary. ....... all the court’s decision and the annual report of the Supreme Court could be discussed in the parliament, which is also against the principle of independence of Judiciary. ....... Article 86 of the constitution states that no voice should be raised against the decision of the legislature and if someone does so, s/he can be detained for three months or fined 10 thousand rupees and there shall be no review of the punishment. ........ In any penalty given by any court, judicial or semi-judicial authorities, the cabinet may give pardon. Based on this provision, pardon can be given against the people who were found guilty by the report of the Rayamajhi Commission. Similarly, there will be no punishment for violation of human rights and humanitarian laws in course of the 11-year long Maoist insurgency. ........ all people will get citizenship on the basis of birth, which is objectionable. The constitution also made the provision that all people who have naturalized citizenship will be eligible for the appointment in all constitutional bodies, which is against the national interest. The naturalized citizenship is given to foreigners, so under this provision, any foreign citizen will be eligible for the post of President, Prime Minister or Chief Justice of the country. ........ provision of six members in the constitutional council, which is not correct, as the even number keeps no meaning in legal term. ....... Independence of Judiciary is the international principle, but the constitution is trying to create controlled or committed Judiciary. ...... Based on the interim constitution, the proposed constituent assembly will not give good results and the constitution to be formed from the constituent assembly will not be inclusive. There was no need of an interim parliament ahead of the constituent assembly polls. ....... The interim legislature does not have authority to take decision about the interim constitution as well. ....... a person holding public post or receiving remuneration will be disqualified for being a candidate in the election, but the constitution has made the provision that elected and nominated people will be able to be the candidates, which means, a person who is a member in interim parliament will be able to fight the elections of the constituent assembly and member of the constituent assembly be able to fight for the next elections, which is against the electoral norms. ....... the 425-member constituent assembly is not appropriate as the number is not manageable. The mixed election system is also not a good concept.
