- He used all his energy to damage political carrier of KP Bhattarai in early nineties.
- He always had bitter relation with the leader like Ganesh Man.
- Congress Party splitted into two group in his leadership
- He was doing alright last two three or so after Gynendra kicked his butt badly, now again he is trying to play dirty politics sidelining Maoist and voilating the understanding with them.

I am convienced nature and atitude of a person does not change overnight. If he continues to work this way it will only help Maoist to get people's support and damage culture of politics of understanding in Nepal.

Subject: [ND] ambasador nominations


kathmandu was shut down once again today by the maoists over ambassadorial nominations. Here are my thoughts on this latest duel.

I think it was silly and petty for the 7 parties to nominate ambassadors without consulting the maoists. the SPA had accumulated some public goodwill, but this will set them back in the public estimation because this move reveals their less noble side all over again.

Just when the maoists were beginning to feel like insiders in statecraft, this move reminds them rudely that they are still outsiders. If the maoists continue to feel like outsiders, they will behave like outsiders in my calculation. Hence, handing them the responsibility of coming up with good consensus-based ambassador nominations, along with SPA, would have confirmed to the maoists cadre that they were now on the way to becoming insiders. this would have helped in exacting more responsible behavior from them.

I agree with no maoists in government until arms management receives more teeth and bite. But in the meantime, it would have been a token of good faith for future negotiations if the SPA had publicly consulted with the maoists about these nominations to important countries. I have a feeling the maoists are going to make the SPA eat their hats over this.

Dear X,

Because the eight parties of Nepal signed several agreements and the interim constitution despite enormous challenges in hammering out differences and finding common ground on various contentious issues, I mentioned in one of my recent articles that the “politics of consensus-building is slowly emerging in Nepal.” However, the nomination of ambassadors was quite contrary to my reading.

As we all know, so far the promise of giving them a stake in the political process has helped to normalize the Maoists on the issues of arms management. So, I think that the effective arms management and the improvement in the security situation at the grassroots level cannot be ensured unless the Maoists feel that they are now the part of the state and no outsiders anymore. One of the reasons why the Maoists are not allowing the destroyed/moved police posts to be reestablished is that they argue that they are not yet the part of the new regime and the current government can only restore the police posts only after they join the interim government and all of their “JANA SARKARS” are dissolved.

I think there are two parts of the problem. The appointment in vacant ambassadorial posts was a long-overdue task. The government shouldn’t have made a mistake delaying it to the date. Second, I agree with XJee that the government could and should have discussed the issue with the Maoists because the interim constitution has just been signed by the eight parties and is ready now for promulgation and the Maoists are eagerly waiting to join the government and be a part of new Nepal. The Maoists’ eagerness to join the government or their sense of belonging to the new Nepal was very obvious when the Maoists recently said that the alternative mechanism for arms management should be explored in order to expedite the interim government formation process.

Warm regads,

Y

The mandate for this "unelected" body of government is to deliver peace
process, not get bogged down in petty indulgence.

Issue with GPK has always been his failure to deliver at most critical
of times. We put him on a pedestal, and look at what he does...

Like the saying goes "Kukur ko puuchhar barha barsha dungro ma
rakhepani jasto ko testai... "

SPA alliance has plenty of petty politicians, what it still lacks is
statesmen/women.

Friends,

I disagree with all who are condemning the government for the appointments
of the ambassadors [ wait, wait ... let me finish ], but not the ambassadors
themselves who are accepting the posts in full awareness of the situation.

If I have to choose between a FOOLISH giver and a GREEDY taker, I'll choose
the former.

But the point is, why our dear Nepal so terribly lacks intellectuals with
integrity, principle and idealism. Among the 14 of these brightest Nepalis
(Dr Suresh Chalise, Dr Navin Prakash Jung Shah, Bhagirath Basnet, Tanka
Karki, Dinesh Bhattarai, Pramesh Hamal, Surya Kiran Gurung, Pradeep
Khatiwada, Ganesh Yonjan, Hamid Ansari, Suryanath Mishra, Guna Laxmi B.K,
Bal Bahadur Kuwar and Sailaja Acharya), there wasn't a single wise one to
refuse the offer for greater cause of giving continuity to a culture of
political consensus so painfully and slowly emerging !

Dhikkar !

And Sailaja Acharya giving her negative role in Jana-Andolan was a tasteless
choice at this point of time, in my not so humble opinion.

Deepak Ji,

How about the notion that the "greedy" takers may have lobbied the
"foolish" to act even more foolish? I don't think all these wonderful
names appeared in Giraja's "topi" as if by magic. So these people must
have lobbied for it - this is purely my speculation.

I do agree that all these nominees are extremely talented people, and
valuable members of the civil society. Unfortunately, our civil society
always seems too eager to drop its guard for petty personal gain.

I wish these people would realize that their ambassadorship will be a
personal gain for few years, but what they can contribute collectively
today to form a stable, peaceful "Himalayan Republic of Nepal" will
be a gift to the Nepalese people for ever.

I have no doubt that most of the people on the list will make great
ambassadors, but for now timing is everything.

Hi:

I hate to be defending one of my relatives here, a very close relative
in deed, but I will be very happy if Dipak can explain why

1. He thinks Dr Dinesh Bhattarai is not wise, and he terribly lacks
integrity, principle and idealism (this is same for Surya Kiran Gurung
and Ganesh Yonjan)
2. And why Zji thinks he(they) must have lobbied for it.

How good are we when we lump everybody at the same place?

There are three bureaucrats in the list, lifelong civil servant. Can
civil servants say 'no' when government says 'go to this place'? What
kind of govt will we have then? what are these people supposed to say,
'no. send a maoist trade union leader who has killed xxx souls in the
past so that we will have peace in our country?'

==

The Maoists are just asking for bhag-banda. Is it good to close the
valley for this small bhag-banda question? It is such a childish
behavior.

I know that there are a lot of appointments that are galling. Girija
Koirala is not the sole person responsible in these appointments, both
UML/NC have received their fair share in these appointments. But to
call for valley bandh in this small stuffs foreshadows a lot more
trouble to come.

==

The parties who have given us dream of 'new nepal' should be more
liberal, and broadminded. If I were Girijababu, I would give all the
ambassadorial positions to the Maoists. All. The ambassadors are not
very powerful and influential people anyway.

A,

If you are defending certain individuals and think that that's the whole
point, then you are missing the point. As I think the point has been well
explained in my, Z-jee's and other poster's messages, repetition will be
redundant.

That said, I agree with you that the Maoists should not have resorted to
"Banda". Nepali people are long waiting to see the end of this curse called
"Banda".

A culture of negotiation and political consensus is what was supposed to
cure this national disease from it's root. Unfortunately, Both NC/UML and
the Maoists tottered this time. And our hopeful ambassadors did not help
either. That exactly was the point I and Diwas-jee were making earlier.

Although I agree with Maoists in their protests, I diasgree in the means of protests. Their protests should have been against Girija and his cabinet and not against the Aam Nepali. They should have cordoned off Baluwatar and Singha Durbar only not let the ministers enter their ministry until the decision was overturned.

Why was there a rush for ambassador appointments without consulting Maoists? I lay out my theory below.

Premise of the theory:

For pressuring King G to relinquish his power over the state during Janandolan II, GPK and India had given words that they would do their best to help retain monarchy in Nepal in the ceremonial role at least.


Objective Conditions:

1. Shailaja Acharya is on record in favor of having monarchy in Nepal (in exactly what form is ambiguous).

2. Cabinet decision on ambassador appointments followed immediately after Pranab Mukherjee's Kathmandu visit.

3. Pranab Mukherjee did not meet any Maoist leader during his visit.

So, here the theory goes:

The cabinet decision was rushed through without Maoist consultation because of three reasons:

1. Maoists would not have agreed to Shailaja's appointment to India,

2. Shailaja is the safest nominee as ambassador to India and ideologically predisposed best conduit of communication between GPK and India in terms of confidence she would carry of both GPK and India in the matters of role of monarchy in Nepal, and

3. all other appointments, though deserved, were made with the hope that so many good appointments will help crowd out the sensitivity of Shailaja appointment.

अरे राहुलभाइ, भगौडाहरुको नाम किन लिनु हुन्छ! तुलसी गिरी, परशुनारायण, प्रकाश कोइराला जस्ता हरुको कुनै पार्टिमा कहाँ कमि छ ।
दरबारले हरेक पार्टिहरुमा घुसपेठ गराउन खोज्नु त उनीहरुको धर्म नै हो नि । दरबार र माओबादी दुबैले अप्रत्यक्षरुपमा प्रजातन्त्रको बिरुद्धमा एकले अर्कालाई उपयोग गरेको पनि हो । माओबादीले पनि प्रहरिका पिउसा सिपाहीलाई मात्र हान्ने र सेनालाई नछुने,सेनाले पनि माओबादीका गुरिल्लासँग तर्केर हिंड्ने गरेकै हो ।युद्धको मैदानमा युद्धको घेरालाई सांघुरो पार्दै लागिन्छ । उनीहरुको रणनितिनै यही हो ।गिरिजा बाबुले माओबादीलाई राजनीतिको मुलधारामा ल्याउनु भयो भनेर केही साथीहरु खोक्नु हुन्छ-त्यो कुरो उहांले होलेरिमा सेना परिचालन गर्न खोजेबाट नै प्रष्ट हुन्छ कि उहां माओबादीहरुलाई निमिट्यान्न पार्न चाहनुहुन्थ्यो वा मूलधारामा ल्याउन चाहनुहुन्थ्यो ।
दल र माओबादीलाई एकैठाउंमा आउन पर्ने स्थिती त मूर्ख राजाले पारीदिए नि ।नत्र कम्युनिस्ट संग दूरी राख्ने तर राजासँग घाँटी जोडने त कांग्रेसी निती नै हो नि ।

२०४६ सालको आन्दोलन भन्दा अघिको कुरा, २ वटा शर्तमा कांग्रेस पंचायती चुनावमा होमिन तयार थियो । शर्त के भने, सबै काङ्रेसी उम्मेद्वारले एउटै चुनाव चिन्ह पाउनुपर्ने, अनि अर्को कुनै पंचायती वर्गिय संगठनको सदस्य नहुने, जबकी त्यतिखेर पंचायती चुनावमा भाग लिन वर्गिय संगठनको सदस्य हुन अनिवार्य थियो । तर राजा बिरेन्द्रले यती कुरा पनि मानी दिएन र २०४६ सालको आन्दोलन भयो ।
अब आयो गिरिजाले राजतन्त्र बोक्छ कि बोक्दैन भन्ने कुरो । नरहरि आचार्यले संबिधान सभा र गणतन्त्रको कुरा गर्दा, पार्टीमा स्पष्टिकरण सोधिएको, गगन थापा, गुरु प्रसाद घिमिरे हरुलाई उल्टै राजाबादी भएको आरोप लगाईएको, बामहरुको कुरो छोडिदिउँ, प्रजातान्त्रिक कांग्रेसले समेत गणतन्त्रको कुरा ल्याईसक्दा, गिरिजा भने राजालाई स्पेस् दिन पर्छ भनेर लागेको, अरुहरु राष्ट्रध्यक्षा कि प्रम कि सभामुख हुन पर्छ भनेर लाग्द गिरिजा भने एक्लो त्यस्को बिपक्षमा भएको, जनमत संग्रह जस्तो जनताको प्रत्यक्ष मत बाट राजतन्त्रको भबिस्यको फैसला हुनसक्नेमा संबिधान सभाको घुमाउरो बाटो रोजेको, अब तपाईंनै भन्नुस् ।
वास्तवमा भन्ने हो भने राजतन्त्रको भबिस्यको फैसला गर्न न जनमत संग्रह नै चाहिन्छ, न संबिधानसभाको चुनाव, सात दल र माओबादीहरु को संयुक्त निर्णयबाट आज भने अझै भोली भने भोली नै सम्भव छ ।
राजतन्त्र कुनै पनि अवस्थामा रहनु भनेको प्रजातन्त्रको लागि खतरा हो । यो घाइते मात्र भएको छ, यसले तत्काल आक्रमण गर्न नसक्ला तर भविस्यमा जरुर गर्ने छ र त्यसको लागि पृष्ठभुमी हाम्रै नेताहरुले तयार पारीदिने छन ।

girija is not giving in to all maoist demands which i think i a good approach. maoists are not in the government yet, so i don't see how can they have any opinion about political apointees. i can see other parties within the government but maoist are out of the central government although, i must say they run a parallel government outside the capital. girija's socialist party is a liberal alternative to the communists and hardliners like maoists.
yeah girija has done a lot of politics and probably has taken an ill advice or two.. this time around, for someone who has devoted his life to politics. he probably wants to get it right this time and go out with a bang. time will only tell...forget girija, but give this peace process a chance.

I am of the opinion that NC and the Left of Nepal got mistaken identities. Below is an excerpt from one of my postings to Nepal Democracy Forum (nepaldemocracy google group) some two months ago.

[The members of the group can access the full posting here:
http://groups.google.com/group/nepaldemocracy/msg/057d14b8db737dbd?hl=en ]

For others, here is an excerpt:

1) The Left of Nepal was and is MORE pro-democracy and MORE democratic
than NC. NC always was and still is for sharing the power with the
King. The Left was for total power to the people. Nothing more, nothing
less.

2) The Left in Nepal has never planned to actually establish a
totalitarian regime (that is, with NC banned) in Nepal. Nowhere and
nowhen have they envision a regime with bourgeois democratic parties
banned. Their idea of communism is limited to their flag, trademark and
rhetoric here and there. It isn't in their program planned to
implement. Look at it this way. Communism/Marxism to them is what
evangelical Christianity is to George Bush. The reasoning/likelihood of
Nepali Left trying to establish a communist state in Nepal is lesser
than President Bush trying to establish a 'kingdom of God' in the USA.
Marxism as a science to Nepali Left is as reliable as 'In God We Trust'
of the American establishment.

The irony of political identity in Nepal is that NC got a face of
democracy but a heart of submission to the monarchy and the Left got a
face of a communist but a heart of total democracy.

That reminds me a short moral story by Khalil Gibran I had read a long
time ago (I am not sure about the accuracy).

The story was that one day the 'beauty' and the 'ugliness' went to take
a bath in a river together. The 'ugliness' came out of the river while
the 'beauty' was still enjoying the bath and went away putting on the
dress of the 'beauty'. When the 'beauty' came out of the river and did
not find her dress, she put on what was left there- the dress of
'ugliness'. Since then they are roaming on the earth in the same dress.

There isn't a bath-taking event for analogy, however, NC and the Left
in Nepal have ironical identities.

This probably is not going to last long. Recent history is bringing
everybody closer to the truth. It's another fact that some diaspora
elites still might choose to keep their anti-Left disposition and
rhetoric which I would call "acting more American than the Americans",

so ne23pe, are u saying leftist parties are more democratic than NC? tara leftist parties haru dherai chan. eg, UML and maoists to name two. i don't really agree with the article that NC are less democratic and they are sharing power with the king. as far as i am concerned, any party that supresses the freedom of expressing ideas or beliefs, be it political or religious, is less "democratic." Many left parties these days are censoring those who support the king. yo ta democratic bhayenani. ideal democracy ma sabai idea lai field ma aaune mouka hunu paryo, be it ideas of collectivity or monarchy. then let the people decide. king got thrown out because he was seen to be too autocratic supressing other people and essentially their ideas. aaba now, if we end up using unfair means to supress other ideas that we don't agree and call our system democratic, tyo ali hypocritical bhayo. haina ra?

I agree 100% with you, Live_wire.

Lime wire ...this is the tragedy of Nation ...People wants loktantra and democracy , freedom of expression ..and what not ...but most of the people really don't believe in it or want it.

Carrying a flag and cursing another one is easy to do ...but practicing true democracy is hard ...nepalese are not ready for one and they don't deserve a democracy .BIggest reason is they don't want it ...U SHOULD WANT IT!WANT IT REAL BAD!!

There you go.... exactly that's what I think.

Interesting, loktantra is not even eanted by so called leaders, Prachanda, Baburam, Girija, Madhav, and so on.... mero goru ko barhai takka type of these faggots.
