OPINION: Nepal unifier Prithvi Narayan Shah and the Present Nepal


BY DIRGHA RAJ PRASAI

Prithvi Narayan Shah, the unifier of Nepal is the pride of Nepal. It was almost 100 years before Germany and Italy was unified and the restoration of the Meiji dynasty was restored that Prithvi Narayan Shah had unified 54 small fiefdoms to build a large, expanded and strong Nepal. But following the movement of April 2006 and so-called big parties came to power they smashed the statue of the late King, contempt and insulted him and called off the birth anniversary of the late king as a day of national unity. There are many other examples of so-called big parties- Congress, UML, Maoist bracing into the destruction and disintegration of this country in the name of republic, secularism and the concept of federal-ethnic autonomy.

It has now become all clear that RAW (Research and Analysis Wing, the Indian intelligence Agency) had mobilized the Maoists, Congress, UML parties to sign in the 12-point agreement and launched them into agitation by provided them with instruction and money to destroy Nepal. Dristi, a Left vernacular weekly, has explicitly written on its 25 Dec 2007 issue that chief of RAW Ashok Chaturvedi brought the Maoists and the Nepali Congress together by forcing them to write in the interim constitution that Nepal will become a republican country. Chaturvedi had kept UML General Secretary Madhav Kumar Nepal as a witness in the settlement of dispute between Prime Minister Girija Prasad Koirala and Maoist Chairman Prachanda. This clearly proves that the leaders of so-called the big three parties have become servile to foreigners and have been assisting the foreigners to meddle in Nepal’s sovereignty.

The Indian still maintains its wish to keep Nepal under its security umbrella. It has been proved that India by using Prachanda and Baburam Bhattarai to Bhutanisation, Sikkimisation and Fijisation of Nepal in the name of abolition of monarchy. In the context of the movement of 1990, former Prime Minister Marich Man Singh says that time also RAW brought together one dozen left parties that never used to see on each other’s eyes like the seven parties now and also forged a working alliance with the Nepali Congress. Thinking Nepalese people would not hit the streets, India even brought 6,000 Bhutanese of Nepalese origin to Kathmandu to show Nepali faces in the movement (27 Dec 2007).

It is already public that after the movement of 1990 gained momentum, the then Indian Foreign Secretary, showing the scare of the people’s movement, came to Kathmandu on April 1990 with a draft agreement under which Nepal’s defense and foreign policy would be under Indian domain and late King Birendra had rejected the agreement outright. Therefore, in the absence of a leader who can take stance, India conspires to make Nepal a failed state. In this situation, Prachanda and his Maoist party should be clear whether it wants to walk on the path of their Chinese namesake Mao’s perception towards Nepal or it want to continue walking on the direction and instruction of the Indian intelligence agency.

Even while walking on the path directed by RAW, Narayan Man Bijukchhe of Nepal Workers and Peasants Party, one among the seven parties, says Indian is exerting its influence on Nepal’s political, diplomatic, economic and social sectors and RAW is the main liaison of this. Saroj Raj Adhikary has written in 9th Dec issue of Nepal Saptahik, a weekly magazine, that ‘India, through RAW, is taking the disgruntled groups of the Terai as a medium to serve its political and economic interest in Nepal. RAW is active in Nepal for the last 40 years’. Jan Aastha, another Left weekly, writes: ‘Home Minister Krishna Prasad Sitaula himself is a man who is very close and has close contacts with the Indian intelligence network’. Similarly, whatever he says to Prime Minister Koirala, Dr. Shekhar Koirala exports agents of Indian intelligence agency (26 Dec 2007).

When the country is seized by these traitors how can there be peace? Because they are traitors and anti-nationals they smash the statues of late King Prithvi Narayan Shah and King Mahendra. These treacherous leaders of Congress, UMA & Maoist parties have become the stooge of the foreigners as they are finishing off the prestige of the country by disregarding the worth of the Supreme Court and defaming the national army. These leaders of the so called big parties do not believe in the rule of law, they are not democratic and they do not believe the constitutional way. As observed their business and mentality of 601 members including the leaders the constituent assembly cannot find any way-out. It must be remembered that the credibility of the party leaders has lost before the people. Can the country and the people be safe from murderers and the traitors?

In the context of Nepal, monarchy is taken as the symbol of protector of the country and a symbol of the country. In terms of security, Nepal is a Hindu Kingdom and as a common language among different ethnicities it is the Nepali language. By destroying these three entities of free and sovereign Nepal, the Indian intelligence agency is using the leaders of the seven parties as Lendup Dorje of Sikkim. They do not do what they speak and do not speak what they do. Because of their hooliganism, unconstitutional path and corruption and mismanagement, they have insulted the country before the international community in all sectors. It is surprising why do the foreigners still believe them? But the Nepalese people no longer want the unconstitutional rule of the party leaders. The Nepalese only believe in parliamentary democracy and always follow the constitutional path. This country cannot survive with these leaders in power. It is now time for the nationalists of all the political parties and outside and the national army and relieves the country from this corrupt and unconstitutional rule. For this all nationalists within the all parties and others should take a step forward.
