माअोवादीले पिन गल्ती नगरेका होइनन्
वाइसीएल का ज्यादतीले गर्दा नै एमाले र माअोवादीको सामीप्य नबढेको हो। मानव अिधकार त िसद्धान्तको कुरा होइन। मानव अिधकारका अाधारभुत िसद्धान्तमा कुनै सम्झौता हुँदैन। वामपन्थी िसद्धान्तमा मानव अिधकार फरक हुँदैन।
तर मुख्य गल्ती िगिरजा र काँग्रेसको छ
ंमाअोवादीले कब्जा गरेको जग्गा िफर्ता देउ भन्ने होइन िक त्यो सबै जग्गालाई अिहलेलाई कुनै भुिमसुधार अायोगको मातहतमा राख्ने, अिन नया संिवाधान अाइसकेपिछको संसदीय चुनावमा सबै पार्टी अा-अाफ्नो भुिमसुधार को नीित िलएर जनताकोमा जाने, र अन्ितम िनर्णय जनताले गर्ने। त्यो हो जाने बाटो। २० रोपनी जग्गा भएको काँग्रेसीको बीसै रोपनी माअोवादीले िलएको छ र जनताले १० रोपनीको हदबन्दी गर्ने िनर्णय गरेमा त्यो काँग्रेसीले १० रोपनी िफर्ता पाउँछ, बाँकी भुिंमसुधारलाई जान्छ।
अर्को छ security sector reform को कुरा। शाही सेनालाई नेपाल सेना नाम फेर्दैमा security sector reform भएको होइन। यो कटुवाल जोकर १५-२० जना जेनेरलहरू िलएर िकन गएको बालुवाटार? राजनीित भनेको कटुवालले गर्ने नै होइन। गणतन्त्रको घोषणा अिहले नै संसदबाट गरे पिन, जनमत संग्रह बाट गरे पिन, संिवधान सभाको पिहलो बैठकबाट गरे पिन कुको त ठ्याक्कै डर नै छैन। शाही सेनालाई जनताले अप्िरल क्रान्ितका दौरान नै हराएको हो। Shoot at sight order िदएकै हो ग्यानेले। काम लागेन त।
गणतन्त्रको घोषणा अिहले नै संसदबाट गरे पिन, जनमत संग्रह बाट गरे पिन, संिवधान सभाको पिहलो बैठकबाट गरे पिन कुरा एउटै हो। लस्सी खाए पिन ठीक, चीया, कफी जे खाए पिन ठीक। न राजाको डर छ न राजावादी जेनेरलहरूको। कटुवाल सुग्बुगाउँछ भने उसको जागीर जान्छ।
शुभ काममें िवलम्ब क्युँ? म त भन्छु अिहले नै गर्िदम्। राजतन्त्रले सबैभन्दा बढी सताएको पार्टी काँग्रेसको राजामोह देख्दा िदक्क पिन लाग्छ, हाँसो पिन उठ्छ। माअोवादीले भात खायो भन्दैमा हामी भात नखाने?
संघीय लोकतान्त्िरक गणतन्त्र ग्यारेन्टी भइसक्यो
ग्यारेन्टी भइनसकेको भनेको त्यो संघीय नेपालको नक्शा हो। ग्यारेन्टी भइनसकेको भिवष्यको नेपाल सेनाको size and ethnic and gender composition हो। भुिमसुधार जस्तै त्यस कुराको अन्ितम िनर्णय गर्न िदने पिन जनतालाई हो।
नेपाल सेनामा जम्मा कित जना सेना हुनुपर्ने र त्यसमा मधेशी, दिलत, जनजाित र मिहलाको सहभािगता कित प्रितशत हुने? त्यो दुई प्रश्नको जवाफ प्रत्येक पार्टीले िदनुपर्यो र त्यो जवाफलाई जनताकोमा लानुपर्यो।
त्यस्तै संघीय सरकारको कुरा गर्ने तर नक्शा प्रस्तुत गर्न नचाहने बेइमान पार्टीहरुको बुद्िध पलाउने बेला अाएको छ। कित वटा राज्य हुने? कहाँ हुने? केन्द्र र राज्य बीचको शक्ित बाँडफाँड कुन प्रकारको हुने? ती सबै प्रश्नको उत्तर देउ अिन जनताकोमा जाउ। अन्ितम िनर्णय त जनताले गर्ने हो।
ज्वाला गोइतसँग अादरपुर्वक शान्ित वार्ता नगरे नेपालमा १० वर्षसम्म चुनाव हुँदैन
त्यो कुरा काठमाण्डुका पहिरयाहरूलाई थाहा नभएको होइन। तर उनीहरूलाई भ्रम छ, चुनाव सर्दै जानु भनेको हाम्रो सत्ता कायम रिहरहनु हो। यथार्थ यो हो िक चुनाव सर्दै गयो भने देश टुक्िरन्छ। अिहले लथािलङ मात्र छ। टुक्िरसकेको छैन।
पुर्ण समानुपाितक िनर्वाचन हुन्छ िक त क्रान्ित हुन्छ
माअोवादीले माने पिन मधेशी, जनजाित र दिलतले मान्दैन। क्रान्ित हुनु भनेको यो संसद, यो सरकार, यो संिवधान स्वाहा हुनु हो। काँग्रेसको नामोिनशान मेिटन सक्छ।
पुर्ण समानुपाितक िनर्वाचन नमाने काँग्रेसलाई एक्ल्याउनु पर्छ
अाठदलीय सरकारलाई एकदलीय पाराले चलाउने िगिरजाको बानीले गार्दा हो उथलपुथल भएको। वादिववाद हुँदा common ground खोज्न सक्नुपर्छ।
एमालेले पिन काँग्रेसको झोला बोकेर िहंड्ने मनस्िथित त्याग्नुपर्यो। अाठ पार्टीको एकता भनेको िगिरजाको चाकरी बजाउने होइन।
संिवधान सभामा साधारण बहुमतले सरकार बनाउँछ, दुई ितहाई बहुमतले संिवधान
