Compromise हुन सक्छ



बराकको Campaign

न्यु यर्क शहरको बराकको सबैभन्दा पुरानो, सक्िरय सहयोगीहरू मध्येको एक। िवगत दुई-चार मिहना िवशेष
गरी िनकै समय िदएँ। अप्िरल क्रान्ित पोहोरको मधेसी क्रान्ित का ताका नेपालको राजनीितमा जित िभजेको िथएँ त्यित अिहेेले िभज्न नभ्याएको अवस्था पर्यो। तर जित नै व्यस्त भए पिन िदनमा एक पटक नेपालको समाचार अनलाइन सरसर्ती हेरेकै हो।

बराक कालो मान्छे अमेिरकाको राष्ट्रपित हुनु भनेको ५०० वर्षको िवश्व इितहास तख्ता पलट हुनु हो।
बराकले चुनाव िजत्ने मलाई एक वर्ष अगािड स्पष्ट भएको हो, दुिनयालाई अब स्पष्ट भइसक्यो। बराकको बाउ केन्याको। केन्यामा पिन नेपालमा जस्तै पहाडी मधेसी छ। लाउ भनेको मधेसी, िककुकु भनेको पहाडी। बराक भनेको लाउ। बराक केन्यामा लाउ, नेपालमा मधेसी।

छ बुँदा

मधेसी अान्दोलनले बुँदा माग अगािड सारेको छ। ती सब माग जायज छन्। तर ती मध्ये पाँच माग अिहेले तु
पुरा हुनुपर्छ भने मधेस राज्यको स्थापना भनेको अिहले हुने कुरा होइन। कलम चलाएर राज्य स्थापना हुँदैन। राज्य स्थापना गर्न केही वर्ष लाग्छ।

मुख्य कुरा: संिवधान सभा

समानुपाितक िनर्वाचनकालािग राष्ट्िरय पार्टीहरूलाई लागु हुने फर्मुला सबै पार्टीलाई लागु हुने कुरा सही
होइन। प्रत्यक्ष िनर्वाचनमा २०% भन्दा कम सीटमा लड्ने पार्टीलाई सो लागु नहुने प्रावधान क्या रे। फोरमले त्यसलाई ५०% बनाउ भनेको छ। त्यसलाई ३०% मा लाने िक? तर तैपिन त्यसता पार्टीका ५०% उम्मेदवार मिहला हुनुपर्ने चािहं छुटाउनु हुँदैन।

अप्िरल १०

त्यो िदन कायम नै रहन सक्छ। तर उम्मेदवार दर्ता गर्नकालािग मार्च सम्म िदनुपर्ने हुन्छ। फरवरी २०
वाला िदन मधेसी अान्दोलनको हावाले उडाइसक्यो।

नेपाललाई स्री लंका बनाउनु हुँदैन

अिहंसात्मक अान्दोलनमािथ प्रहरी दमन गर्ने, अार्मी मोिबलाइज गर्छु भन्ने सही होइन। नेपाल यिद स्री
लंका बन्छ भने नेपाल अार्मी पिन दङ, पहाडी माअोवादी पिन दङ, मधेसी माअोवादी पिन दङ। त्यताितर जानु हुँदैन। एक पटक जातीय गृह युद्ध शुरु भए पिछ त्यो अागो फेिर १०-१५ वर्ष कायम रहला। त्यताितर सोंच्नु पिन हुँदैन।

देश तोड्ने एजेण्डा छैन

मधेसी अान्दोलनले संघीय नेपालिभत्र मधेस राज्य खोजेको हो, अलग देश होइन। मधेसी अान्दोलनले िहंसा
सोंचेको छैन। अलग देश िहंसालाई मधेसी अान्दोलनले नकारेको छ।

Compromise हुन सक्छ

मध्ये पाँच बुँदा पुरा गर्ने। अिन त्यसपिछ मधेसी अान्दोलनले एक मधेस एक प्रदेशको
नारालाई मधेसी जनताकोमा लाने तर्फ सोंच्नुपर्ने हुन्छ। िगिरजा, प्रचण्ड माधव नेपालसँग एक मधेस एक प्रदेशको नारालाई मान्ने ताकत पिन छैन, नमान्ने ताकत पिन छैन। जाने भनेको जनताकोमा हो।

३०%

उपेन्द्र यादवले ५०% भनेका छन्। महन्थ ठाकुर राजेन्दर् महतोसँग सीट तालमेल गर्ने प्लान छैन िक के
हो? ५०% चािहंदैन। ३०% भए पुग्छ।

लोकतान्त्िरक अभ्यास

लोकतन्त्रमा मेरो गोरुको बार्है टक्का भन्ने हुँदैन। समय समयमा compromise गर्नुपर्ने हुन्छ। बुँदा सबै
अिहले नै पुरा हुँदैन। पाँच चािहं पुरा हुनैपर्छ। ५०% होइन, ३०% भए पुग्छ समानुपाितककालािग।

एक मधेस एक प्रदेश

काँग्रेस, एमाले, माअोवादी तीन पहाडी बाहुन पार्टीले एक मधेस एक पर्देशको नाराको िवपक्षमा अाफुलाई उभ्याइ सके। तर तराईमा एक मधेस एक पर्देशको नाराप्रित व्यापक समर्थन छ। भने पिछ ती तीन पहाडी पार्टीलाई तराईबाट बढारेर फाल्िदने। अप्िरल १० का िदन। मधेसी अान्दोलनको लक्ष्य त्यो हुनुपर्छ।

तर जनताले पत्याएन भने तराईमा एक होइन चार राज्यको स्थापना पिन हुन सक्छ अन्तत। अन्ितम िनर्णय गर्ने जनताले हो।

िगिरजाले संघीय सरकार के हो भन्ने कुरा नबुझेको हुनुपर्छ



एक मधेस एक प्रदेश

एक मधेस एक प्रदेशको नाराका साथ अगािड बिढरहेको मधेस अान्दोलनलाई िगिरजाले अपमान गरेको छ। मधेस नामको राज्यको स्थापना हुनु भनेको देश टुट्नु हो भनेर िगिरजाले भनेको छ। मधेसी भनेको नेपाली होइन, भारतीय हो, भोिल कोही मधेसी यिद देशको प्रधानमन्त्री हुन्छ भने नेपाल िसक्िकम बन्छ, यािद इत्यािद कुरा त्यो सबै िगिरजाको ब्रह्माण्डिभत्र पर्छ। त्यो anti-Madhesi prejudice हो। त्यही सोंचका कारण िगिरजाले १५ वर्ष जित अगािड संसद बरू भंग गर्यो, तर िनिधलाई प्रधानमन्त्री बन्न िदएन।

हत्यारा िगिरजा

शान्ितपुर्ण अान्दोलनमािथ िगिरजाले बर्बर दमन गरेको छ। िगिरजामा कमल थापामा अब के फरक बाँकी रह्यो ?

छ पहाडी पार्टी

माग जित सब जायज छन्। सात पार्टी सरकार अब हुँदा हुँदा पार्टी सरकार भइसक्यो। त्यो पहाडी पार्टी सरकारले खुरुखुरु मधेस अान्दोलनका माग पुरा गर्ने। एक मधेस एक प्रदेशको मुद्दामा पहाडी पार्टीले commitment अिहले नै देखाउनुपर्छ। सबै पार्टी गणतन्त्रमा एक भए जस्तै एक मधेस एक प्रदेशको मुद्दामा पिन एक हुनुपर्छ।

रोम जलेको छ

मधेस अान्दोलनका माग पुरा नभएसम्म यो अान्दोलन थम्नेवाला छैन। तर पहाडी नेताहरू चुनावकालािगिलस्ट तयार गर्दै बसेका छन्। रोम जलेको ितनलाई थाहा छैन।

मधेस राज्यको स्थापना प्रित छ पहाडी पार्टीले commitment गर्छन् अिन बल्ल चुनाव हुन्छ। अप्िरल १०मा नहुने त िनश्िचत नै भइसक्यो। मधेस अान्दोलनका छ माग पुरा गर्ने हो भने अब अप्िरल २० अथवा २५ माचुनाव हुन्छ। दलीय पुर्ण समानुपाितक चुनाव हुन्छ।

देश टुट्न सक्छ

अिहंसात्मक, शान्ितपुर्ण मधेस अान्दोलनमािथ िगिरजाले पुिलस दमनको बाटो नै िलइराखे पािकस्तान रबङगलादेश दुई फ्याक भए जस्तै नेपाल पिन दुई फ्याक हुन्छ। मधेस अान्दोलनले अलग देश मागेको छैन। तरिगिरजा बाहुनले मधेस अान्दोलनलाई त्यताितर धकेिलराखेको छ।

२५% भुभाग

मधेस राज्य पुरा नेपालको २५% भुभाग मात्र हो। २५% भुभागको एउटा राज्य नाजायज माग होइन।

िगिरजाले वार्ता भन्दा के बुझ्ने

िगिरजा भन्छ वार्तामा अाउ, वार्तामा अाउ। वार्तामा अाउनु भनेको के? मधेस अान्दोलनका ६ बुँदा उसलाई पढेर सुनाउनकालािग मधेसी नेता वार्तामा जानु पर्ने हो िक के हो? उसले ती छ बुँदा अाफै िकन पढ्न सक्दैन?

खुरुखुरु माग पुरा गर्ने। अरू उपाय छैन।
