Taking Kanak Mani Dixit To Task
The Pahadi Khas leaders who run the show in the Nepali Congress and the UML denied due process in the constituent assembly, otherwise the federalist forces had enough votes to get federalism already.
A duly set up committee in that assembly had put forth a map that the Madhesis and the Janajatis were happy with. That map had the support of two thirds of the members of the constituent assembly. Madhesis and Janajatis in the Nepali Congress and the UML were ready to disobey their leaders and vote in favor of federalism and give the country the constitution it deserved.
But people like Ram Sharan Mahat would not have any of it. They denied democratic due process. A political crime was committed. And now here he is arguing full force that he is also for federalism, a better kind of federalism, only he has not been understood well enough.
