We work in Rajahar and I personally have many friends there. I am shocked to hear that the Maoists have done this.

As the police station (which was left several years ago) is on the main road, 20 minutes from Narayanghat, and 10 minutes from a major police station and a major army base, where were the Nepali police and army whilst this was going on?

How long does it take them to pick up the phone?

What stupid you are?why you put the PM Photo like such way? is that your ethics of journalism?
How your theme will come on true .. even you are not able to respect a PM not only PM head of 8 parties alliances also respect president of Nepali congress …Let start to respect to others then we can change our nation and our communities.
Who didn’t know Maoist they are a terrorist group and they always want to make society terror so that we have to watch them carefully and act them carefully until they aren’t into loktantrik Marg.

Aaa…excuse me, pick up what phone? Is there a phone to be picked up? Hello moto…!!!

Somewhere in your comment it is implicit that Maoists commit these horrible acts by nature, and that by design ordinary Nepali people, and ALWAYS the Nepali defense establishment - whether during Monarchy or during parliamentary majority should be on the receiving end. Essentially this is what you are saying: Maoists always kill; live with it; blame the defense establishment. WRONG!

The problem here is NOT the delay of Nepali Army or Police officials arriving at the scene. The problem here is the continual criminal intent and action of Maoists that is brazenly breaking the peace agreement. These are blatantly becoming the most anti-democratic and regressive forces - monarchs are the distant second now.

On a slightly different note, the execution of Saddam Hussein is an international spectacle now. I don’t know what makes me sick more, the American media’s constant reminder of justified act on part of the Americans by showing handful of ‘Iraqis’ jubilant over Hussein’s hanging or Maoist’s reaction to what followed up. Isn’t it ironic that the rebel outfit which got into power by nakedly violating democratic and human rights of its own citizens, today, gets to speak of “naked violation of democracy and human rights” on behalf of MY country by pointing fingers at others? No thank you. I see no particular difference between the Bush’s republican rhetoric and Maoist’s propaganda machine.

hypocrisy in action:

The CPN (Maoist) in a statement said the execution of Saddam was not only an inhuman act but also the Bush administration’s “naked violation of democracy and human rights”. Such an act, irrespective of who committed it, is sheer breach of international humanitarian laws and the right of human beings to live, the statement issued by Maoist spokesperson Krishna Bahadur Mahara said.

i know that you live in amrika or whatever, fortunately nepal is no longer in the middle ages, there are a minimum of 4 phones in rajahar chowk, so try not to jump to conclusions.

I have no idea what you are going on about. But primarily you’re assuming that a) the maoists are some king of oiled machine, b) that their central committee has any control over them, and c) that all maoists will suddenly give up their guns and go back to farming in their villages.

What political group did not start in this way? by using terrorism or freedom fighting, this is what all groups have done in the past.

and finally what is that barmy person going on about? is he angry that the PM is being cut out? or that he’s on his head?

Shrestha,

What a ‘twist’ in your name, ‘Oliver’!

I will take your advice and not ‘jump’ into conclusions, but let me ‘dive’ into one by pulling a triple somersault followed by a cannonball splash.

Very well, Nepal is no longer in the middle ages; it is only ‘progressively-regressing’ towards one. Let us gloat over the fact that we are not there yet. Only in Nepal can one link two diametrically opposite words and still manage to create a meaning out of it.

“I have no idea what you are going on about. But primarily you’re assuming that a) the maoists are some king of oiled machine, b) that their central committee has any control over them, and c) that all maoists will suddenly give up their guns and go back to farming in their villages.”

Are you simply reiterating my position (as you see it), or are you trying to nullify em? Please be more explicit.

“What political group did not start in this way? by using terrorism or freedom fighting, this is what all groups have done in the past.”

Thorough knowledge of world’s popular political movements is not at all essential; all it requires is common sense to absolutely, positively disagree that the act (terrorism) carried out for a cause (freedom) is a valid means of expression when such expressions (violence) lack the fundamental epithet of what causes are trying to promote. In simple words, if ‘terrorism’ and ‘freedom fighting’ are used in one sentence with such recklessness and ambiguity as you do, then, I don’t know where your relativism finds closure to even say that ‘freedom fighting’ is a valid universal cause.

Are you a Mr Pink from reservoir dogs?

M’hacker,

You sure seem to believe in a resounding return to Samudaya! :-)

Oliver, If I may address you in shorthand fashion :-),
I agree that one should not expect the cadre to “go back to farming”; however, the Maoists were the ones that were screaming from the rooftops about the need for Constituent Assembly; therefore, it is highly disingenious of them to continue with the extortions, kangaroo courts etc all aimed to continue to instill fear and quiet assent in the run upto the CA elections.

Prachanda and Baburam being the machiavelli followers that they are know all to well that the only way the foreign community will agree to work with them directly is IF they are legitimately elected by the populace; therefore, resorting or rather sticking with the threat of intimidation to ensure success at the pools is to their advantage and to the disadvantage of all who had heralded the “peace deals” as the beginning of a new era for Nepal.

….gloomy perspective I know, but I can’t see the silver lining in this scenario!

Oops…pardon the spelling errors! :-)

Kripa,

I bow to the divinity in you, and all the beings that only have ‘grace’ to disperse - just like your name suggests. No, seriously! Your presence is duly felt here at samudaya too. Welcome back!

घ�म�दै फिर�दै र�म�ाटार!!

Ah! The same ol’ protagonists and same ol’ antagonists, running the same ol’ act.

Good! No more login at Samudaya, I don’t remember my password anymore.

But, have to admit, it’s fun to read all the squabbles here.

whose is that crazy writing long live MAOIST…
why do Nepal need revolution????? so that some new power hungry assholes takeover goverment and do the samething what has been happening, it’s already wrost and if the communist gov. happenz , goverment will be too powerful then the ordinary people and what will happen then,, All the deaths , widows , orphans (victims of revolution “”it’s fuking 2007”” ) doesn’t that make you cry,,,, what we need is more schools and education ,,, not gun in young hand, instead give him a pen and book. educate the unfortunate poeple………… all these years and all those money that they have lotted or donation (samething) couldhave build 1000’s of schools all over the country, all these talented minds who are leaders of communist party could have used their time to educate people about the real world and how hard they have to work . i’ve many friends who were poor in rural parts of the country but they studied hard and became engineers and doctors now… isn’t mr. bhattrai the same way……

stop reading communist books for few months and look around the real world. following the old theories which is written in blood cannt make the world better place. what do u think those widows, orphans, all their relatives will forget what happened to them, i don’t think so , they are waiting for their turn now, blood for blood, it’s never ending battle where everyone looses,,
