मेरो िबजनेस बारे

म अाजको ५-७ वर्ष िभत्रमा उपेन्द्र महतोभन्दा बढी पैसा हुने मान्छे हो। म मेरो टेक्नोलोजी कम्पनीलाई न्याज्ड्याकमा िलस्ट गराउँछु। राजनीित भनेको युद्ध गर्ने अर्को तिरका हो भन्छन्। मेरो यो टेक्नोलोजी कम्पनी भनेको फस्ट वर्लड थर्ड वर्लड बीचको खाडल पुर्ने उपाय हो। फस्ट वर्लड थर्ड वर्लड बीचको खाडलपुर्ने एक मात्र उपाय भनेको इन्टरनेट हो। हामीले ग्लोबल साउथका सकेसम्म बढी मािनसलाई अनलाइन ल्याउनुपर्छ। र त्यसको शुरूवात न्यु यर्कबाट गर्ने हो।

सकेसम्म बढी मािनसलाई अनलाइन ल्याउने दुइ तिरका छन्। एउटा हो फ्री वायरलेस ब्रोडब्यान्डको कन्सेप्ट। टीभी प्रसारण गरे जस्तै इन्टरनेट प्रसारण गर्ने र उपभोक्ताले िवग्यापन हेर्नपर्ने। दोस्रो हो सस्तो ल्यापटपको कन्सेप्ट। मेरो कम्पनी ज्योितकनेक्ट त्यहाँ अाउँछ। ३० वर्षसम्म पीसीको जमाना रह्यो। अब अाइसी (IC) को जमाना शुरू गर्नुपरेको छ। अाइसी भनेको इन्टरनेट कम्प्युटर। यो कम्प्युटर सस्तो यस कारणले हुन्छ िक यसमा इन्टरनेट ब्राउजर बाहेक कुनै सफ्टवेयर हुँदैन। अपरेिटङ िसस्टम पिन लाइनक्स हुन्छ। मेरो कम्पनीले त्यो अाइसी बनाउने र बेच्ने हो।

अिहले एक अरब मािनस अनलाइन छन्। त्यसलाई दुई र तीन अरब कसरी बनाउने? दुई र तीन अरब बनाउनमा धेरै पैसा छ।

एक लाख डलरको अावश्यकता

राउण्ड दुई र तीनकालािग भेन्चर क्यािपटिलस्टकोमा जानुपर्ने हुन्छ। र ती न्यु यर्कमा टन्न छन्। उनीहरूकोमा मेरो नेटवर्िकङ जारी छ। तर राउण्ड एक मैले न्यु यर्कका नेपालीहरू माझबाट नै उठाउनुपर्छ। ५०जनाले दुई दुई हजार डलर गरेर िदए भयो। अथवा १०० जनाले एक एक हजार डलर गरेर िदए भयो। अाज मेरो कम्पनीमा दुई हजार डलर इन्भेस्ट गर्ने नेपालीले अाजको पाँच वर्ष िभत्रमा त्यो पैसाबाट यहाँ घर िकन्न सक्नेछन्। मेरो त्यो दावा हो।

Democratizing Political Parties

It really boils down to one person, one vote democracy. We have to move towards becoming a federal, multiparty democracy of state-funded parties. That will make Nepal the number one democracy on the planet.

How to get there? Step one, the immediate step would be to make all political parties make their finances public. Step two would be to pass a law saying for the purposes of the constituent assembly elections, the richest party may not have more than 50% more money than the second richest. All the extra money should go to the state.

And after the elections, political parties may not engage in any kind of fundraising activities at all.

Another thing to do is to do with the distribution of tickets. For a party ticket for a political office, party members at the said level and below should be the only ones who get to decide who will get the ticket.

The third thing to do is to demarcate the various layers of government based on population. It has to be about one person, one vote democracy. Otherwise you end up with a Maoist party that has one Madhesi on its central committee, you end up with a UML that has one Madhesi on the central committee.

Key is to have all constituencies for the lower house based on equal population.

If we can do these three things, we end up with democratic parties. Otherwise right now Congress MPs are subservient to Girija because Girija is the one who decides if you will get a ticket or not. Girija is the one decides how much money he will give you during election time. So a Congress MP's career strategy ends up being subservient to Girija. That ends up being the gameplan.

How To Get There?

The goal is obvious. But no political party is gearing towards it. It is because the party leaders like it that power inside the parties is concentrated in their hands.

The people positioned to push for a democratization of parties are the civil society folks. They have been relentless on the issue of a republic, and that is great. To that list they should add the agenda of party democratization.

Have this simple three point plan. And stick to it.

Inclusive Democracy Comes From Parties With Internal Democracy

Lack of democracy inside parties is the reason Nepal has not been an inclusive democracy to date. A lot of ethnic disenchantment will go away if parties will become democratic.

Maoists to Blame for CA Poll Delay: Bijukchhe Himalayan Times Bijukchhe said national and international forces exerted "moral" pressure on Prime Minister Girija Prasad Koirala to defer the date of the CA polls, as the Maoists have devised a strategy for capturing booths. Bijukchhe said that the Maoists had held several councils of war to finalise a strategy for how to capture booths. ..... the Nepali Congress (NC) did not want the CA polls held until the unification of both the NC and NC (D) ...... "The CPN-UML wants to go to the CA polls after leading the government itself and the Maoists also have the same agenda." ...... Though there is a need for wider discussion with the people over the issue of a federal system the parties are not doing so ..... Bijukchhe said, "If all leftist forces work for the welfare of peasants and workers, unification is not impossible."

Prachanda feels seven parties agreed in haste NepalNews left forces should now make republic a basis for their unity. He urged his cadres to be ready for any eventuality while declaring the country republic.
Over 20 MJF activists held for defying prohibitory orders in Gaur The MJF had announced the bandh on Friday to protest what it calls government’s apathy towards its demands that include immediate halt in electoral constituency delineation process and investigation into the loss of lives and property in recent agitations in Terai region.
Yadav vows to take action against sandalwood smugglers

Red Storm Rising? NepalNews A week ago, on April 16, Maoist chairman Prachanda had dangled a carrot to entice the divided leftist lot. "If there is going to be a single Communist Party of Nepal, we will not let Prachandapath pose any obstruction. Let us do away with all kinds of soubriquets we have attached to the names of our parties. There is no use of attaching tail-names to our parties. Let us make one communist party," he had said referring to the existence of myriad communist parties that have attached tail-names such as Marxist, Marxist-Leninist, Unity Center, Masal and so on. ...... absolute red domination is manifested in the 329-member strong legislature parliament where leftist forces including the Maoists, UML, ULF, People's Front (PF), Nepal Workers and Peasants Party (NWPP) have 182 MPs among themselves while the centrist and liberal democrats have 147 MPs. ...... the communists have mulled forming a 'common front' if not 'single party' to defeat other parties
Yadav vows to take action against sandalwood smugglers Yadav said that Forest Ministry will need maximum cooperation from Finance and Home Ministries to control the smuggling. ..... demanded that a new Nepal be built where everyone can speak out. He said the trend where subordinates cannot speak with their officials has hurt the building of new Nepal. ...... "There is a situation where wardens cannot speak out at director general; where DG cannot speak out at minister; and where minister cannot speak out at Prime Minister," he said referring to his quarrel with the PM. ...... Minister Yadav said that Forestry was one of the most corrupt sectors.

UML, Maoist, NC (D) Alliance To Oust Girija Needed

Girija Koirala has to take responsibility for not being able to hold elections by June and he should resign. Between them, the UML, the Maoists, and the NC (D) have the numbers. The smaller parties can be expected to come along. The Koirala Congress must be isolated.

Girija Koirala has no intention whatsoever to unify the two Congress factions. But he talks like he wants to so as to prevent the Deuba Congress from doing serious organizational work on the ground.

Girija has routinely disrespected the UML since assuming power and before. He has not allowed the UML ministers to make appointments even in their own ministries. He has acted like he is the minister of all ministries. He has exhibited similar behavior towards the Maoist ministers.

Enough of waiting for Girija and his party to come around to the idea of a republic. If the army has not been acting rough, it is not because they fear Girija but because the mandate of the April Revolution is too obvious.

A UML, Maoist, NC (D) government will not hesitate to declare the country a republic right away. We do need that consolation prize for not having had our elections by June.

I am okay with both options on the republic question. I am okay with declaring the country a republic through the interim parliament and I am okay with going for a referendum. Both are fine options. But neither course will be taken as long as Girija is Prime Minister.

Koirala's party is old just like him. It is not a party that is offering new ideas, new programs, new vision.

Madhav Nepal

I think Madhav Nepal is the obvious candidate to succeed Girija as Prime Minister.

His party has the numbers.

The UML, of all parties in Nepal, is best positioned to judge if the Maoists have and are transforming or not. For those who fear the Maoists might still harbor the vision of a one party dictatorship, Madhav Nepal is the best person to have as Prime Minister of Nepal.

There are no doubts whatsoever that Madhav Nepal's UML is for multi-party democracy.

With Madhav as Prime Minister, we can be sure elections will be held in November. But if Girija continues I doubt we can have elections even in November. That guy lacks physical stamina, for one.

The UML, Maoist, NC (D) government would have a two point agenda.

• Declare Nepal a republic now.
• Hold free, fair, fearless elections in November.
  

The Madhav Nepal led government can still be an eight party government.

MJF bandh continues to trouble Terai region The bandh has thrown transport services out of gear in Morang, Sunsari, Bara, Parsa, Siraha, Sarhali, Saptari, Dhanusha, Rautahat and Mahottari districts. Reports say hundreds of passenger buses and trucks have been stranded at different places along the East-west Highway. .... Biratnagar, Inaruwa, Birgunj, Rajbiraj, Lahan, Kalaiya and Gaur are the worst affected towns where marketplaces, educational institutions and factories remain closed. However, there was no impact of bandh in Jhapa district.

An unfinished uprising Nepali Times In Kathmandu, the concerns are about the delayed constituent assembly elections and the shenanigans of the Young Communist League........ Here it is about Madhesi representation and the unfinished revolution. ....... Decades of discrimination, neglect, and oppression have alienated a large section of madhesis. Being moderate here these days earns you a ‘coward’ tag. In Mahottari it’s easy to see why, and to catch a revealing glimpse of the emotional distance between Kathmandu’s rulers and the tarai. ........ CDO Ratan Raj Pandey, a descendent of royal priests, Kathmandu’s top man here, the most powerful person in the district. ......... in a district where over four-fifths of population is madhesi, almost every office is staffed exclusively by pahadis. ...... the matter of how little noble pahadi settlers have been vested in the communities around them. In a district where the big landlords are Sharmas, Upadhyas, Ghimires and Pants, the first school here had to be built by a Marwari Murarka. The college had to wait for a Yadav donor. .......... In Janakpur, the town that Koiralas, Ranas, Sharmas, Singh Thakuris, and Ghimires claim as theirs there is no philanthropic effort bearing these names. The first few schools, the college, the hospital, and several temples were built by the Sah family, who were humble traders in comparison with the Ranas and Giris who made fortunes off the tarai’s resources. ........ Janakpur’s highways, roads, airport and water supply have been set up with Indian assistance. The most visible reminder of the government are security personnel, which reinforces the sense of living in occupied territory. ........ Most people here understand political complexities. “Protests in the tarai will diminish the day the government realises the folly of playing dirty power games in Kathmandu,” says a paan vendor near the vandalised statue of Bhanubhakta in Janakpur.
Madhes mess Bijaya Singh, chair of the Madhesi Student’s Union and Madhesi Intellectual’s Forum, and Rajendra Raya of the Madhesi Dalit Forum have publicly announced that their organisations have split from the MJF. Similarly Madhesi Youth Forum chair Jitendra Sen has said repeatedly that the MJF failed because of Upendra Yadav’s leadership. ........ At a recent MJF central committee meeting there was a heated discussion about the issue of Yadav’s allegiances. The central committee decided to keep Yadav on as chairman only because the 27 April deadline for the registration of parties [to contest the constituent assembly elections] made it complicated to appoint a new leadership in time. ...... even this point is contested, with general secretary Ram Kumar Sharma arguing that the organisation should not be registered as a political party, in order to avoid conflict with madhesi leaders in other parties. He believes the MJF should remain a pressure group. ........ The Maoists have warned Ram Chandra Poudel to not encourage the Forum. ....... The Madhesi Janamukti Morcha’s Satya Narayan Bhagat and Prabhu Sah have accused Matrika Yadav of providing Upendra Yadav with information about how their organisation was planning to launch an attack in Gaur using Young Communist League members and fighters from the Chitwan cantonment. ....... Yadav thus hired professional sharpshooters from Bihar. These criminals were the ones who hunted down YCL activists and fighters from the Chitwan cantonment in Gaur and killed them. The Forum says 11 fighters from Chitwan were killed, but neither the Maoists nor UNMIN have confirmed that.
An armless army In the cities, the YCL has now come to be known for its summary justice and intimidation and is dreaded for the practice of roughing up anyone who stands in the way. In the tarai, the YCL has been blamed for its militant tactics that have alienated madhesis......... in Kathmandu the YCL has been involved in high-profile street cleaning, demolition of illegal structures, crime control, and planting trees along Tundikhel. ...... the YCL has also been active in continued intimidation and extortion ...... The head of the league in Nepalganj is also its central committee member, Jhak Bahadur Malla who used to be Comrade Sudip, the commander of the 11th Battalion of the Maoist Pratap Smriti Brigade. ....... It is clear that a large proportion of the senior PLA leaders are not in camps at all but in the cities living as YCL cadre. They have been involved in organising security for Maoist chairman Pushpa Kamal Dahal’s nationwide tour in March during which young Maoists were involved in several violent incidents against madhesi activists. Most of those killed in the massacre in Gaur on 21 March were YCL cadre. .......... In a speech during the memorial in Kathmandu for Maoists killed in Gaur, YCL general secretary warned: “If attacks against us continue, we will mobilise the 21 divisions of YCL and seven divisions inside the camps.” ........ the Maoists have sent their militia and trainees to the camps and kept hardcore fighters outside ...... As in Nepalganj, the YCL in Kathmandu is housed in private homes and factories in Balaju, Gongabu, and Bhaktapur. Although the league says the premises were given to them, owners say they were taken over by force. ...... was involved in intimidation against UML cadre attending a rally by Madhab Nepal in Kailali.

Gajurel had a chance to talk in detail with Simon Hughes, an MP and the president of the Liberal Democrats Party, the third largest in the British parliament. ....... "We also want them (the Naxalites) to enter the parliamentary mainstream, but it may not be possible," said Gajurel. "We don't want to influence them. Though we share common ideologies, all parties are independent to go about their actions." He said each party has its own "strategies and tactics". Though he said the strained relationship between his party and the Naxalites has improved, the CPN(M) is still holding a "wait and see" policy. Both the parties, according to Gajurel, are neither in physical contact nor plan to meet....... his party is in constant touch with the governments in India, China, the UK, Germany, Switzerland, and other liberal European countries.

Investigation reports make Gaur carnage further complicated On Friday, a report made public by the OHCHR said the women killed in the incident were not raped and that there was no evidence that their breasts chopped off. "The incident at Rice Mill field was sparked when about a dozen young men destroyed the CPN-M stage. After initially fleeing, MJF supporters turned on the largely outnumbered CPN-M cadres. In the evening attacks, 27 individuals-including four women and a 17-year-old girl were killed, all but one with blows from bhaatas and lathis," the report said. ........ Media had quoted chairman of the Informal Sector Service Centre (INSEC) Subodh Pyakurel, who was a member of the preliminary investigation team of human rights activists, that three of the deceased women were raped before being killed. ....... Nine activists associated with Shanti Malika including Sharada Pokharel, Shobha Gautam, Kalyani Shah and some female journalists had conducted field investigations. ...... They informed that three women, who were trying to cross the Bagmati River in Pataiya of Hajmaniya village, were attacked by criminals who raped and murdered them. "They were chased, raped and killed in the most barbaric manner. Their blood was spilled in the local village temple also," Sharada Pokharel was quoted as saying. ..... Another team of rights activists including Padma Ratna Tuladhar had also concluded that the attackers had raped and cut off the breasts of the deceased women before killing them. Several other reports by national human rights organisations had also supported this claim.
