The Lasting Benefits Of A Revolution

The impending Madhesi Revolution has to have lasting benefits. There are immediate goals. But there are also long term goals. The most important long term is to create a political party that completely uproots the UML and the Congress from all 20 Terai districts. That kind of organization has to emerge.

This political party will be based on the idea of (1) total internal democracy, and (2) complete financial transparency.

This political party will spend 10 years trying to achieve equality inside Nepal. If it fails, it will then work towards achieving independence through a referendum.

२००६ मा मानव अधिकार राजाले प्रदान गरिबक्सेको हो?

२००६ मा मानव अधिकार राजाले प्रदान गरेको हो भने अहिले आत्म अधिकार सहितको संघीयता बामदेव, केपी र सुशीलले प्रदान गर्ने नगर्ने कुरा आउँछ। तर मानव अधिकार राजाले दिने कुरा होइन। आत्म अधिकार सहितको संघीयता भनेको त्यस्तै हो। वामदेवले आफुलाई यसरी फुर्क्याउनु भएन। अधिकार भनेको स्थापना हुने कुरा हो, कसैको कृपाबाट पाइने कुरा होइन।

The legal process could last weeks. The hearings in the Special Court could last weeks. The government lawyer will make his case. CK Raut's lawyers will defend. This could go on for weeks. Then the court will decide. Right now it looks like the Special Court will decide against CK.

Then the case will be appealed in the Supreme Court. There it might go on for weeks. Let's hope if things go that far the Supreme Court makes the right decision, otherwise the country will not see a political movement, I see uncontrolled riots across the Madhesh. That would be deeply unfortunate.

During this entire process the government at any point could decide to withdraw its case. Sushil Koirala as the person leading the government is directly responsible. He and he alone is responsible. As the person heading the government, he is responsible for Bamdev Gautam's acts and attitudes. There is no escaping responsibility.

There is a strong case as to why CK Raut's arrest is illegal and he should be released.

• If the right to self determination were illegal and wrong, CK Raut would not have been invited to speak for it in the national parliament. The fact that he was invited shows the topic is a relevant and contemporary and legitimate topic in national politics that the national parliament is actively considering incorporating in the new constitution. 
• Talking about a provision in the future constitution is also free speech. Just like talking about turning Nepal a Hindu nation is covered by free speech. Just because Nepal still might be secular in its next constitution does not make it illegal to talk about Nepal as a Hindu nation. 
• Right to self determination is what CK stands for. That is not sedition. That is federalism. That is free speech. 
• CK Raut has always espoused non-violence. His heroes are Buddha, Gandhi, and Mandela. 
• The fact that the police and state harassment has come this far, and the judiciary in the country has become part and parcel of it goes on to show the judiciary in Nepal is not a just judiciary, but a judiciary like the judiciary of the apartheid upholding South Africa that also had judges and courts, but that routinely called freedom fighters criminals and sentenced them to jail. The Home Minister, the cabinet, the Nepal Police, the court in persecuting Raut have proven they are indeed an occupying force of Madhes like Raut claims, and not the democratic representatives of either the Madhesi people or the Nepali people at large. 
• In persecuting Raut, the state apparatus, the Home Minister, the courts, the police have gone on to prove the point that a villain like Kamal Thapa talking about a Hindu nation is free speech, Prachanda and Baburam talking about a federalism with the right to self determination is free speech, but CK Raut talking about the right to self determination is sedition. 

The political angle of this case is as follows. 

• It is no longer possible for any political party to not take a public stand on the right to self determination. 
• If the Congress and the UML do not stand for a federalism with the right to self determination, they should say so. 
• And if they are saying so, are they saying federalism is still federalism when the right to self determination does not exist?
• Are they saying that if the right to self determination is inscribed in the new constitution then the people of Madhesh will break away from the country? That the only thing holding them back is that the old constitutions have not had the right to self determination?
• Are the Congress and the UML saying that if the right to self determination is put in the constitution, and the Madhesh state parliaments decide to put the issue to a referendum, that the people of Madhesh will choose to break away? Is that what they are saying?
• CK Raut has always maintained the first goal is achieving equality in Nepal. If that is not achieved breaking away to form a separate country is going to be the only option. Are the Congress and the UML saying that they will maintain the current state of inequality, and that they will do all they can to suppress the Madhesis every way they can? If not, why do they fear the Madhesi sentiment? 
• Does the sovereignty rest with the people? Or does the sovereignty rest with Bamdev Gautam, KP Oli and Sushil Koirala? If the sovereignty rests with the people, why do Bamdev Gautam, KP Oli and Sushil Koirala think the Madhesi people can not have the right to self determination? Do the Madhesi people need permission from Bamdev Gautam, KP Oli and Sushil Koirala before they can have the right to self determination? Or is that their birth right? Just like the right to free speech and all other human rights?
• Are Bamdev Gautam, KP Oli and Sushil Koirala aware that the right to self determination is part of the universal human rights? Or are they not aware? 
• The movement to restore human rights in Nepal happened in 2006. Did Bamdev Gautam, KP Oli and Sushil Koirala sit that one out?

The Government Of Nepal Has The Option To Release CK Raut Anytime

The Prime Minister does not need the Home Minister's permission. He could simply issue an executive order. And just because CK Raut has been taken to court a few times does not change anything. The state has the option to release CK Raut.

The ball is in the Prime Minister's court more than that of anyone else. After all CK Raut was arrested after his arrest was discussed and finalized in a cabinet meeting. This was an initiative at the highest level.

आन्दोलनको अब विकल्प रहेन

यो सरकारले (१) सीके राउतलाई आजीवन कारावासको सजाय सिफारिस गरेको छ र (२) कांग्रेस र एमालेले मधेश राज्यहरुबाट झापा, मोरंग, चितवन, कैलाली र कन्चनपुर चोर्ने सिफारिस गरेका छन, कोशी, गण्डकी र कर्णालीमाथि पहाडीहरुको १००% स्वामित्व जताउने षड्यंत्र गरेका छन। आन्दोलनको अब विकल्प रहेन।

नेपालको राजनीतिक इतिहासको सबैभन्दा ठुलो महाभारतको जग निर्माण भएको छ। समानताबिनाको नेपाली नागरिकता मधेसी समुदायले स्वीकार नगर्ने निर्णय गर्ने बेला आएको छ। देशले यस्तो ठुलो आन्दोलन कहिले देखेकै छैन। त्यो बेला आएको छ। पहाड़ी पुलिसले कैद गरेको वयक्तिलाई पहाड़ी अदालतले न्याय दिने कुरा शायद हुँदैन।

• सीके राउतको निशर्त र तुरन्त रिहाई। 
• आत्म निर्णयको अधिकार सहितको संघीयता। 
• एक मधेस दो प्रदेश। झापादेखि कैलालीपुरसम्म। 

• एक जना पनि शहीद भएमा गृह मंत्रीको राजीनामा अथवा बर्खास्तगी। 
• १० जनाभन्दा बढ़ी शहीद भएमा प्रधान मंत्रीको राजीनामा। 

यस क्रान्तिले एउटा मधेश स्वराज पार्टीको निर्माण गर्नेछ। यस पार्टीमा पुर्ण आन्तरिक लोकतन्त्र रहनेछ। सीके राउतलाई संस्थापक अध्यक्ष मनिनेछ। यस पार्टीले १० वर्ष नेपालमा समानताकालागि संघर्ष गर्ने छ। त्यसपछि समानता प्राप्ति नभएमा अलग देशकालागि जनमत संग्रहको बाटो अख्तियार गर्ने छ।

I Thought CK Raut Was Released

Minendra Rijal, Ram Chandra Poudel and another minister gave word in writing. Why is CK still in custody?

"देशै नरहन सक्छ।" हो र?

हिजो प्रधान मंत्री सुशील कोइरालाले यहाँ न्यु यॉर्कको सनीसाइडको कार्यक्रममा "नेपालभन्दा पनि उग्र" भन्नुभो, "देशै नरहन सक्छ" भन्नुभो। बड़ो व्यवस्थित कार्यक्रम थियो। सीके राउतको मुद्दामा प्रोटेस्ट गर्नेहरुले पनि बड़ो व्यवस्थित ढंगले आफ्नो कुरा राखे। होहल्ला गर्ने मनसाय थिएन, भएन पनि। एक जना प्रमुख वक्ता जनजाति महासंघका लुईसंग वाईबाले मन्चबाट नै भन्नु पर्ने कुरा भन्दिए पछि प्रोटेस्ट असंयमित हुने कुरै भएन।

देशै नरहने भनेको के? भारत एशियाबाट उछिट्टिएर नेपाल समुद्रमा पुग्ने भनेको होइन होला। नेपाललाई भारत अथवा चीनले कब्ज़ा गर्ने कुरा गरेको होइन होला। भनेपछि देशलाई खतरा प्रकृतिबाट छैन, छिमेकीबाट छैन भने खतरा आयो कहाँबाट?

देशै नरहने भनेको देश टुक्रिन्छ भनेको हो? राजा महेन्द्र, राजा वीरेन्द्र र राजा ज्ञानेन्द्रका पालामा सुशील कोइराला र सुशील कोइराला जस्ता थुप्रै लोकतन्त्रका सेनानीहरुलाई "अराष्ट्रिय तत्व" को संज्ञा दिइएको हो। त्यति बेला लोकतन्त्र चाहनेहरुलाई त्यसरी नै गाली गरिन्थ्यो। अहिले त्यही सुशील कोइरालाले संघीयता चाहनेहरुलाई त्यसै लवजमा यसरी गाली गर्नु कहाँसम्मको ठीक कुरा हो?

पंचायती व्यवस्थाभन्दा लोकतंत्र बढ़ी राष्ट्रवादी हो किनभने लोकतन्त्रमा सार्वभौमसत्ता जनतामा निहित रहन्छ न कि एक व्यक्ति राजामा। त्यस्तै संघीयताबिनाको नेपालभन्दा संघीयता भएको नेपाल बढ़ी बलियो नेपाल हो। संघीयताबिनाको नेपाल बरु टुक्रिने सम्भावना बढ़ी हुन्छ किनभने संघीयताबिनाको नेपालमा सबैलाई उकुसमुकुस भइराखेको हुन्छ। भइराखेको छ पनि। संघीयता भएको नेपालमा विभिन्न समुदायले समानता र अवसर पाउने संभावना बढेर जाने भएकोले त्यो नेपाल टुक्रिने सम्भावना कम भएर जान्छ।

पंचायतलाई पनि त पंचायती प्रजातंत्र भनिन्थ्यो। अझ नेपालको माटो सुहाउँदो पंचायती प्रजातंत्र भनिन्थ्यो। पछि त त्यो सुधारिएको पंचायती व्यवस्था भयो जहाँ कि वोट खसाल्न पनि पाउने भयो। तर खोइ गिरिजा कोइरालाले चुनाव लड़ेनन त। किनभने त्यो लोकतंत्र थिँदै थिएन।

त्यस्तै अहिले नेपालमा सत्तामा रहेका थुप्रैले जे कुरा संघीयता हुँदै होइन त्यसलाई संघीयता भनिरहेका छन। संघीयता के हो भन्ने कुरा पछि गरौं, पहिला के होइन भन्ने पट्टी जाऊँ।

संघीयता भनेको देश तोड्ने होइन, त्यसको उल्टो हो। संघीयता भनेको देश जोड़ने हो। धान रोपेकोलाई धान काटेको भन्न मिल्दैन। त्यस्तै संघीयतालाई देश तोड़ेको भन्न मिल्दैन। संघीयता भनेको विकेन्द्रीकरण होइन। यो प्रशासनिक कुरा होइन। तर संघीयतामा power devolution हुन्छ र व्यापक रुपमा हुन्छ। संघीयता भनेको वामदेव र सुशीलको "निगाह" बाट जनताले पाउने कुरा होइन। लोकतन्त्र जस्तै संघीयता पनि जनताको अधिकार हो। र जसरी निर्दलीय प्रजातन्त्र भनेको प्रजातन्त्र होइन, जोक हो, ठट्टा हो, त्यस्तै संघीयता भनेकै आत्म अधिकार भएको संघीयता हो। आत्म अधिकार बिनाको संघीयता त संघीयता नै होइन।

स्कॉटलैंडमा भएको जनमत संग्रहले ब्रिटेनलाई झनै बलियो बनाएको छ। आत्म निर्णयको अधिकारले ब्रिटेनलाई झनै बलियो बनाएको छ। लोकतन्त्रमा राष्ट्रियता अझै बलियो भएर जान्छ, संघीयताले सच्चा राष्ट्रीयताको निर्माण गर्छ।

बहुदल आए देशै नरहन सक्छ भन्नेहरु थिए। सुशीलको भाषा तिनीहरुसँग किन मिलेको?
