Not UML-Maoist Unification Or Unity, But A One Point Agreement On PR Election

Madhav Nepal misunderstands. The call is not to unify the two parties. The call is not for a left front unity. The call is for a one point collaboration between the UML and the Maoists to come together and make possible completely proportional elections to the constituent assembly so as to guarantee there will be elections in November.

If you have completely proportional elections, you don't need any unity, any alliance. Every party competes against every other. Votes don't go to waste.

A possibly unified Congress does not want completely proportional elections because if you have completely proportional elections, the communist votes don't go to waste, and if communist votes don't go to waste, the Congress is no longer the center of gravity of Nepali politics.

If Madhav Nepal does not make this move now, he is going to regret big time after the elections are over. No party will win a majority. That is a foregone conclusion. Forget majority, no party is going to win more than 15% of the votes.

If Madhav Nepal can not forge a one point agreement with the Maoists now, he will not be able to forge a coalition after the elections are over. And a coalition is not a one point deal, but a convergence on many points. He has to start practicing right away.

The constituent assembly will work to give the country a new constitution. But the majority coalition born out of that assembly will also run the country. The assembly will also function as a parliament. There is not going to be a power vacuum.

The arithmetic in the interim parliament is simple. If the UML and the Maoists come together on this issue, no power can stop completely proportional elections to the constituent assembly. And holding completely proportional elections to the constituent assembly is the only way to make possible elections in November. If you don't make completely proportional elections to the constituent assembly possible, there are not going to be elections, not in November, not in April.

Nepal Rules Out Maoist-UML Unification Prospects People's support is necessary to get legitimacy of any revolution and it is manifested through an election, CPN-UML general secretary Madhav Kumar Nepal said on Friday. ...... there was no immediate possibility of unification between the UML and the CPN (Maoist), as both the parties were yet to be clear about their ideological ground. .... it was not necessary, as has been ascertained by classical Marxists, to resort to violence or armed struggle to bring about changes in the society. Communists in many Latin American countries have been able to bring about social and political changes through ballot boxes ....... Commenting on the book, Maoist leader Dr Baburam Bhattarai said that there was no other way than to make a unity between the UML and the Maoists though the Maoists must have committed some mistakes during the People's War. "The imperialists will judge us from the same angle even if we do not unite," he said.

Private and public vehicles remained off the road. Protestoers vandalized four vehicles at Koshi Barrage area on Mahendra Highway last night, police said. Factories, industrial plants, business establishments and bazaars in urban and rural centres of the districts also remained closed.

Meanwhile, human rights activists and businessmen of Sunsari district appealed MMT to call off the bandh.

Baburam Bhattarai Is Right About UML-Maoist Unity

Maoist-UML unity would solve all problems, claims Bhattarai; Nepal stresses 8-party unity Senior Maoist leader Dr Babu Ram Bhattarai has claimed that unity between his party and the CPN-UML would resolve all the problems facing Nepal and Nepali people. ..... Dr Bhattarai expressed hope that all communist parties in the country would come to a common platform one day even if the unity among the leftists is not possible immediately. ..... hinted at the possibility of "working unity" between these two major left parties in the constituent assembly polls in an attempt to secure majority of communists in the CA ...... if such unity could not be established regressive forces would put obstacle in the holding of timely polls and that the monarchy could be again be active. ..... The Maoist no. 2 also stressed the need for unity among the left forces to end all forms or discrimination and suppression prevailing in the Nepali society. ..... Working unity between UML and the Maoist is a long debated issue, but blaming each other for showing difference towards such a unity has rather upset the possible working unity. Maoists accuse the UML of opting for capitalist principle while the UML blames Maoists for being extremist. ...... speaking at the same programme, UML general secretary Madhav Kumar Nepal stressed the need to further strengthen the eight-party unity in view of the upcoming CA election and cautioned that no parties should put forward any kind of pre-conditions that can create hindrances in the election process. ..... "There is no meaning in talking about "ceremonial or baby king," the UML strongman said.

I have always thought of Baburam Bhattarai as the most sensible among the Maoists. And he is right again. He is right like Prachanda is not, like Madhav Nepal is not.

There is no danger to the country and democracy right now from the royalists and regressives. A coup is out of question. The danger is from Girija Koirala, from his illness, his incompetence, his utter lack of fresh ideas, his conservative worldview that keeps wanting to go back to the ways of the 1990s, his opaque and undemocratic ways as party president and as prime minister, from his nepotistic circle of close associates.

Girija Koirala is the biggest threat to democracy in Nepal. Girija Koirala is the biggest threat to social justice in Nepal, just like that was true in the 1990s. Girija Koirala is the biggest roadblock to implementing scientific and progressive land reform in Nepal. Girija Bahun is the number one political enemy of the Madhesi, the Janajati, the Dalit and the women.

Maybe Prachanda grew up poor. Maybe he was too far away from power in the jungles and in exile. Maybe he enjoys Girija's occasional proximity. But in doing so he is hurting his party and he is hurting his cause. He is showing a lack of class consciousness just like Madhav Nepal is.

I find it strange that both Madhav Nepal and Prachanda want completely proportional elections to the constituent assembly, but they are both blind to the stark fact that between them they do have the power to get it. Prachanda does not need to go into the streets to get it. All he has to do is shake hands with Madhav Nepal. They are obviously not making the effort to understand the simple arithmetic of the interim parliament. Between them, they got the numbers.

There are no permanent friends and permanent enemies in politics. Madhav Nepal and Prachanda have the option to become each other's new best friends. If they are loyal to their party members and to their cause, they have no option but to come together.

All the other parties in the interim parliament will come along, especially the small parties. It is bizarre that people like Prachanda act like Girija has veto power. In a democracy, not even the prime minister has veto power. Noone has veto power. The power rests with the arithmetic in the parliament.

The two large communist parties should have done this two months ago, when it looked impossible that the two Congress parties will come together. They are already a little late, but it is still not too late.

It is ridiculous for Ram Chandra Poudel to hold talks with the Janajati and the Madhesi and the Dalits. That Bahun does not have the powers to give anyone social justice. That is a powerless, ridiculous Bahun. The power to give social justice rests with the to be elected constituent assembly. You organize completely proportional elections to the constituent assembly. And the Madhesi, Janajati and Dalit groups then go to their people for social justice. The big, established parties are going to have to compete for Madhesi, Janajati and Dalit votes with the new Madhesi, Janajati and Dalit parties. Why are they afraid to compete?

Postponing Election Not An Option

Either you are going to have elections in November, or you are going to have a revolution. If the Maoists will not do it, the Madhesis will.

It is not more time that is needed. If the elections are deferred, and an agreement is not reached to hold completely proportional elections to the assembly, the elections will have to be deferred again.

Prachanda's mental slavery that makes him want to see Girija continue as Prime Minister is astounding. He is betraying his party.

Four Big Parties

What Madhav Nepal does not seem to realize is there are no eight parties. There are only four big parties that really matter. The center of gravity rests with the four big parties. If the UML and the Maoists come together, the center of gravity will rest with them. They have it in their powers to give the country completely proportional elections to the constituent assembly. Either they should stop they are for or ever were for completely proportional elections to the constituent assembly or they should use their existing powers to give the country completely proportional elections to the constituent assembly. Right now they are being dishonest.

Jockeying For Power

In not competing for power with Girja, Madhav Nepal is acting like a fool. If you want power, you are going to act like it. Madhav Nepal is too comfortable being General Secretary of his party to want to become prime minister. It is called habits of the mind. They die hard.

Dishonest Prachanda

Prachanda wants his cadres to go agitate all over the country demanding completely proportional elections to the constituent assembly. That is fundamentally dishonest behavior. Instead he should tell his cadres, you stay home, let me go talk to Madhav Nepal.

Securing Majority For Communists In The CA

It is weird for even Baburam Bhattarai to talk of securing a majority for the communists in the CA. They already got a majority in the interim parliament. Why don't they act like they do? Hanuman is sound asleep.

New Delhi also blames Koirala for delaying taking a personal lead to appease madhesi groups while the crisis was still manageable. They have tried to get the message across to the prime minister, but say when it comes to the tarai Koirala refuses to listen to them. Officials say they don’t want a further proliferation of madhesi groups and reportedly discouraged mainstream madhesi politicians, including NC and NSP dissidents, from forming a separate party.

Compared to the discredited UML and the divided NC, the Maoists have retained their core support base among the dalits and the marginalised section of janjatis.

The international community wasn’t terribly enthusiastic about polls in the steaming heat of June. November is different matter altogether.

Talking to reporters before the meeting began, Yadav said his party was confident that the issues of the Madhes would be resolved through dialogue. He, however, warned that if the government did not give fair and equal representation to all communities and sections of society in the constituent assembly, a fresh revolt would break out in the Madhes. He added that there can be no compromise on the issue of regional autonomy and the communities' right to self-determination. Responding to queries, Yadav said that his party was all for participating in the constituent assembly polls, but added that first the government will have to address the issues of the Madhes. He accused the government of showing indifference to the demands of the MJF though the international community had termed genuine the demands of the Madhesi people.

The meeting which is due to conclude in Birgunj today is expected to decide on whether to sit for next round of talks with the government scheduled for August 26 or go ahead with their protest programme. The fifth round of talks between the government and the MJF on Tuesday ended without reaching to any conclusion after the latter called off the meeting citing government’s apathy towards its demands which include fully proportional representational election system and federal system of governance with right to self determination.
Madhesi Tigers target vehicles on second-day of terai bandh On the second day of their strike, the cadres of Madhesi Tigers vandalised four vehicles in terai on Thursday accusing them of not complying with the bandh. In Ramgram of Nawalparasi, the cadres of the Madhesi Tigers, who came in motorbikes with Indian registration number, set three bikes to fire this morning. In Kushaha area of Siraha district, along the east-west highway, Tigers vandalised a passenger bus. In Morang, a bomb has been exploded near the district office of the Federation of Nepali Journalists (FNJ) last night. Stating that the government has ignored the issues related to Madhesis, the Tigers announced five-day bandh from Wednesday. The bandh has affected the lives in terai districts – Morang, Siraha, Saptari, Mahottari, Bara and Parsa among others. Industrial activities, education institutions and commercial hubs remain shut due to the bandh.

गुगलले एउटा नया टुल ल्याएको छ: ब्राउजर बाट नै नेपालीमा टाइप गरेर सर्च गर्न िमल्ने। मैले मेरो नाममासर्च गरें। जनकपुरमैं हुर्के बढेको, एउटै पर्ाइमरी स्कुलमा पढेको हाल न्यु यर्कमा बस्ने सुजीत ढकालको लेखअायो। यो लेख पहाडी बाहुन prejudice को ज्वलन्त उदाहरण हो। त्यो prejudice भनेको देश तोड्ने prejudice हो।

न्यु यर्कको बाहुन समुदाय भनेको तारा बाहुनले सरापेको समुदाय। स्थानीय राजनीितमा जीरो अौकात राख्नेनेपाली पहाडी समुदाय न्यु यर्कको िमनी नेपालमा नेपालको जस्तै anti-Madhesi prejudice ले अोतप्रोत छ। मलाई नेपालीहरूले भोट निदइकनै म सारा नेपालीको नेता भिनटोपल्ने तारा बाहुनको बाहुनवादले खान भ्याएको छ। त्यो अलोकतान्त्िरक रवैयाले स्थानीय नेपालीलाई स्थानीय राजनीितमा घाटा छ तर तीनलाई त्यसको मतलब छैन। Homesick बाहुनहरूलाई बरू तारा बाहुनकै बाहुनवाद मन पर्छ। अलोकतान्त्िरक त छ तर बाहुनवादको झझल्को त िदन्छ।

जनजाितहरू बाहुनसँग डील गर्दा जनजाित बिनटोपल्ने, मधेशीसँग त्यही बाहुनसँग एक भइिदने। पहाडी prejudice पोख्ने। नत्र नगेन्द्र इङगमको कस्तो उट्पटाङ प्रश्न। प्रश्न सुन्दा लाग्छ नेपालमा मधेशीहरूले नेपाली भाषालाई िथचेर राखेका छन्। उल्टे चोर कोतवालको डाँटे।

१९८९ देिख न्यु यर्क बसेका सत्य यादव। म न्यु यर्क पस्नु अगािड मधेशी organizing को म नदेखेका सत्य यादव। नेपालमा मधेशी क्रान्ित हुँदैछ, Quit India Movement जस्तो ठुलो, ऐितहािसक, तर उता पहिरयाहरूले अपमान गरेर यो त िहन्दु कट्टरपन्थीको खेल हो भनेकोले off season मा लङ अाइलैण्डमा िशवरात्री मनाइिदने। त्यो तारा बाहुनको करतुत हो। न्यु यर्ककै पिहलो ठुलो मधेशी event जुन न्यु स्कुलमा भयो जसका बारेमा सुजीत ढकालले बडो अपमनापुर्ण ढङगले लेखेका छन् नेपाली टाइम्समा। त्यसलाई स्थानीय मधेशीले बिहष्कार गरे। तारा बाहुनको नेतृत्वमा। न्यु यर्कमा ANTA स्थापना गर्ने व्यक्ित म। त्यसपिछ मैले ANTA को सदस्यता छोड्िदएँ। मानिसक दासताको के दवाइ छ?

मधेशीहरुलाई जनजातीहरुको प्रश्न : किन नेपाली भाषाको बिरोध गर्छौ ?

टाईम्स् सम्बादादाता

न्यूयोर्क्,फेब्रुअरी १०, दबिएको नेपाली समूदायको भएपनि जनजातीहरुलाई नेपाली भाषा र नेपाली राष्ट्रियताको असाध्यै माया छ भने नेपालको मूल प्रवाहमा आउन खोज्ने अर्को दबिएको बर्ग मधेशीहरु किन नेपाली भाषा र नेपाली शब्द लाई 'हेट्' गर्छन? किराँत याक्थुम चुम्लुङ अमेरिकाका उप सभापति नगेन्द्र इङ्नामले तराईका सम्बन्धमा शनिबार न्यूयोर्कमा आयोजित एक कार्यक्रममा सोधेको यो प्रश्नले न्यूयोर्कमा रहेका नेपाली मधेशीहरुलाई अन्तत्: भावुक बनाई छाडयो ।

नेपालको संसदमा हालै केही मधेसी सांसदहरुले तराईको भाषामा सम्बोधन गर्दा कमान सिंह लामा लगायतका अर्का सांसदहरुलाई पर्न गएको अप्ठ्यारो प्रती पनि धेरैले मनमनै भावुक भएर सोचे कार्यक्रममा ।

प्रत्युत्तरमा मधेशी मूलका प्राध्यापक प्रमोद कण्ठ्ले भने--अनेक भाषा भाषी भएको तराईमा मधेशीहरुले आ-आफ्नो भाषा प्रयोग गरेपनि राष्ट्रिय स्तरमा संपर्क भाषा नेपालीको सम्मान मधेशीहरुले पनि गर्नु पर्छ । उँहाले आफूले पनि नेपाली भाषामा कविता लेखेको उल्लेख गर्दै तराईबासी र पहाड्वासी मिल्नुपर्ने कुरामा जोड दिनुभयो ।

प्राध्यापक महेन्द्र लावतीले मान्छेले बौद्यिक रुपमा संगठित भएर अगाडि बढ्नु पर्ने बताउनु भयो ।

संयुक्त राष्ट्रसंघका उप महासचिब कुलचन्द्र गौतमले जती जात जातीहरुमा बाडिंएपनि नेपाली राष्ट्रियता र अखण्डता भन्दा ठुलो अरु केही नहुने बताउनु भयो ।

कार्यक्रममा तराई आन्दोलनका क्रममा "मधेशलाई छुट्टै राष्ट्र बनाउने र छुट्टै राष्ट्र बनिसके पछि त्यसले नेपाललाई शत्रुको रुपमा हेरी नेपालसंग कहिल्यै कूटनीतिक सम्बन्ध स्थापना नगर्ने" भन्ने आशयको अभिब्यक्ती दिने परमेन्द्र कुमार भगतलाई र्()याख र्()याखती पारिएको थियो ।

यूनाईटेड नेप्लिज डेमोक्र्याटिक फोरमका टेक गुरुङ्ले सम्बिधान सभामा जान लागेको "क्रीटिकल्" अवस्थामा पहाडे मधिशे जस्तो सम्बेदनशील बिषयमा आगो सल्काएकोमा उनीप्रती तीतो प्रकट गरेका थिए भने अनिल शाहीले अर्को देश बनाउने कुरा गर्नुको असल नियत के हो भनी प्रश्न गरेका थिए ।

अझ अर्का मधेशवासी सतेन्द्र साहले नेपालको तराईमा अन्य भाषाहरु भएको अवस्थ।मा हिन्दी भाषाको वकालत गर्नु ठीक नभएको बिचार ब्यक्त गरे ।

कार्यक्रम न्यू स्कूल बिश्वबिद्यालयको इण्डिया- चाईना ईन्स्टिच्यूट्ले आयोजना गरेको थियो । उक्त अवसरमा ईन्स्टिच्यूट्का निर्देशक अशोक गुरुंगले पनि बोल्नु भएको थियो ।

परमेन्द्र भगत नामका नटबरलालबारे
- दिनेश आचार्य

एकजना छन अमेरिकाको न्यूयोर्कमा । आफुले आफैलाई बुद्धिमान घोषणा गर्दै आफु बिदेशिनुलाई ब्रेन डर्नको सज्ञा दिने त्यो सख्श अरु कोही होइन अनाबश्यक रुपमा तपाई हाम्रो ब्यक्तिगत मेल अकाउन्टको यनबाक्स फुल गर्ने हिन्दु अतिवादी र तराईको शान्त नेपाललाई भारतीय भुमन्डलमा मिलाउने प्लानका सेवक हुन-परमेन्द्र कुमार भगत ।

उनी हरेक दिनजसो दर्जनौ मेल दुनियाका हजारौ मेलबक्समा पठाउछन् । कुनैबेला नेपालको प्रजातान्त्रिक आनदोलनलाई सहयोग गर्ने नाममा काठमाडौंको आन्दोलनको फोटो किन्ने भगत अहिले हरेक दिन पहाडिका नाउमा बिद्वेश उराल्दै मधेशीका मनमा घृणाको बीउ रोप्न उद्यत छन् । अर्थात उनी पहाडी र मधेशी नेपालीबीच माराकाट गराएर साम्पर्दायिक हिसाको बिउ रोप्न चाह्छन । किनभने यो उनको मालिकको आदेश हो ।

भारत नेपालमा के चाहन्छ ब्वासोले गाइको बाच्छालाई मायाले सुम्सुमाएर कन्याउदै मुटु कलेजो झिकेर खाएजस्तो गर्ने प्लानमा छ । नेपालमा हिसा बढेपछि बिचरा भन्दै सुमसुमाउन आए जस्तो गरि तराइलाइ आफ्नो भागमा मिलाउने र को दीर्घकालिन रणनीती पुरा गर्ने एजेन्ट हुन उनी । उनीमात्र होइन उपेन्द्र यादव हृदयेश त्रिपाठी र जयकृस्ण गोइतहरु पनि त्यही हुन । जो आफुलाई नेपाली भनाउन समेत चहदैनन् ।

हिजोसम्म श्री ५ को सरकार हुदा उनीहरुले जनआन्दोलन भाग २ मा कहि पनि मधेशका नाउ उच्चारण गर्न परेन । राजाकै शाशनमा मस्त भए । किनभने अहिलेका राजा भारतीयकै ज्वाई र नातेदार अनि उतैबाट आएका थिए । तर अहिले जब नेपाली जनताको ुनेपाल सरकारु भयो उनीहरुलाई नेपाली भन्न लाज लाग्यो र मधेश सरकारको नारा उचाल्न थाले ।

केही समयअघि सम्म मधेशी र लोबतन्त्रको नारामा ब्लग लेखिरहेका उनी एक्कासी नेपालबिरोधी र भारतसमर्थक भएर निस्किए । उनी नेपाली पासपोर्टकै आधारमा अमेरिकामा बसिरहेका छन् भलै भारतीय कृपादृष्टिले पालिएका किन नहोस । तर आफुलाई नेपाली भनाउदा लाज लाग्छ रे । मधेश छुट्टै देश हो रे । नेपालीहरुले त्यस देश हडपेका हुन रे । उनका पछिल्ला लेख पढ्दा यस्तै लाग्छ ।

काठमाडौंका नेवारले नजानेर किम्बदन्ती वा जोक्स बनाएको ‘मनु मखु मडिस्या ख’ लाई ठुलो मुद्दा बनाएर आर्टिकल लेखे । पहाडिया भनेका मान्छे नै होइनन र उनीहरुलाई खत्तम गर्नुपर्छ भन्ने उनको आशय झल्किन्छ ।

वास्तबमा यो फलाम तातेको बेलामा हिट गरेजस्तै हो । तराईमा सयजना मान्छे अगाडि लगायो हजार जना पारीबाट सय रुपैया दैनिक दिएर ल्यायो । नत्र काठमाडौमा लाखौ मान्छे उत्रदा जनआन्दोलन २ मा किन तराईमा मान्छे सुन्यप्राय थियो राजतन्त्र बिरुद्ध ११ बर्ष जनयुद्ध हुदा पहाडमा जसरी क्रान्ति मौलायो तराईमा लुटेर खानेहरु मात्र बढे किन हुन त तराईमा पुरानो डाका सस्कारले गर्दा पनि माओवादीमा लाग्नेहरु लागेका थिए लुट्न नपाउने भएपछि जनतान्त्रीकमा लागे । राजा फाल्ने आन्दोलनमा चाही नलाग्ने अहिले ठुृलो क्रान्तिकारी कुरा गर्ने

भगत जस्ता कथित नौटंकी अनुहारहरु धेरै छन् यहा । उनी कहिले आफु नेपालमा राजनीति गर्न नफकर्कने कुरा गर्छन त कहिले अमेरिकामा सबैले नेपाल गएर राजनीति गर भनिरहेको लेख्छन ।

परमेन्द्र भन्ने मान्छेले एकपटक अनौठो कुरा गर्यो । सारा सार्क क्षेत्र एउटै रास्ट्र हुनुपर्ने प्रस्ताब राख्छन । यसको अर्थ के हो हिन्दुस्तानले भन्ने गरेको सारा भारतबर्ष एउटै देश होओस भनेको होइन पाकिस्तान बंगलादेश देखि नेपाल र भुटानसम्म भारतमै गाभियोस भन्ने उनको आशय हो कि होइन यस्ताले तराइको आन्दोलन हाकेको दाबी गरेका छन् । के यो कहाबाट सन्चालित हो यसै थाहा हुदैन

अमेरिकामा उनी कसरी पुगे यहा के काम गर्छन उनी बेलाबखत नेपालमा पत्रिका र इन्टरनेट साइट चलाउनेहरुलाई अलिअलि रकम दिएर भारतीय लाइनका नेपाली नेताहरुका। अन्तर्बातार्ता लिन लगाउछन् । यता केही पैसामा बिकेर पत्रकार भनाउदाहरु भारतकै दलालीमा बोलेको कुरा छाप्छन । उनको धन्दा यस्तै छ । आफुलाई महान बनाएर आर्टिकल लेख्दै दुनियाका मेलमा बिना अनमति बग्रेल्ती िलंक पठाएर उनले दुनियालाई दुःख दिएबापत क्षतिपुर्ती तिर्नुपर्दैन अमेरिका बस्नेलाई त यो थाहा हुनुपर्ने उनले अरुको मेल आइडी कसरी थाहा पाए प्राइभेसी ल अनुसार त कारबाही हुन्छ आफु बिदेशिदा ब्रेन ड्रेनको घोषणा गर्नेलाई त थाहा हुनुपर्ने ।

गगन थापासित अकंमाल गरेको फोटो खिचाउदा आफुलाई भाग्मानि ठानेर आर्टिकल लेख्नेले अहिले तिनै थापाहरु अर्थात पहाडेहरुका बिरुद्ध बिषबमन गर्दा कस्तो लाज नलागेको । साइटभरी आफ्ना नानाभातिका फोटो राखेर प्रचार गर्ने भगतले लेखेका अग्रेजीका भाषण कतिजना तराइबासीले पढ्छन त्यो उनलाई के मतलब भगतले त त्यो भाषण आफ्ना मालिकहरुलाई देखाएर पैसा झार्नका लागि हो । साच्चै तराइका लागि सबेदनशील हो भने त कलैयामा आएर जुलुसको नेतृत्व गरुन न । सोझा गरिब मर्ने भगतहरुचाही अमेरिकामा बसेर तर मार्ने

पहाडिया र मधेशीको साम्प्रदायिक सदभाब भडकाएर मान्छे मार्ने खेल हुदैछ । यदी त्यसो भयो भने नेपालको इतिहासमा पहिलोपटक लाखौ मानिस मारिन्छन । देश बिखन्डन पक्का हुन्छ । भगतहरुको मास्टर प्लान यही हो ।

जनअधिकार फोरम भनेको भारतीय दुतावासबाट रकम ल्याएर सास्कृतिक कार्यक्रम गर्ने गोष्ठि गर्ने र एक दुइटा प्रतिबेदन छपाएर मधेशीको नाम भजाउदै पैसा कमाउने एनजिओ होइन यो कुनै पार्टी हो जसले बिचारको आन्दोलन गर्छ त्यहा बसेका नेताहरुको कुण्डल हेर्नुपर्छ कहा कहाबाट सन्चालित छन यसै थाहा हुन्छ ।

उपेन्द्र यादव काठमाडौंको बानेश्वरमा एकजना राजावादीको घरमा भाडामा सायद सित्तैमा बस्छन् । किशोरकुमार बिश्वास भन्ने मण्डले जो सद्भावना पार्टी छाडेर दरवारहुदै भारतीय क्याम्पमा पुग्यो उनी पत्रकारहरुको फोन नम्बर सकलन गर्दै आफ्नो नाम बजाइदिने अनुरोध गरिरहन्छन् । अर्का आफुलाई महासचिब बताउनेचाही उपेन्द्र यादबले बोक्ने ९८४१-४३५७७१ नम्बरको मोबाइल उठाउछन र आफ्नॊ नाम उल्लेख गरेर समाचार लेखिदिन र आफ्नै अन्तरवार्ता लिइदिन करकर गरिरहन्छन् । उनका अन्तरवार्ता लिन मानेन भने उपेन्द्र यादवलाई सम्पर्क हुनै दिदैनन उनी ।

अस्ति भारतको गणतन्त्र दिवसका भारतीय दुतावासमा भएको पार्टीमा फोरमका नेताहरु कसरी कानेखुशीमा मग्न थिए त्यो कुरा सहभागि यो पंक्तिकारलाई थाहा छ । राजेश अहिराज जस्ता नटबरलाल पत्रकारहरु पनि त्यस दिन एक लाख भारुको पुस्तक पुरस्कार लिदै चलमलाइरहेका थिए ।
