Nepal Maoists, principally the
pet project of the Indian establishment which by now has been proved by default
or otherwise, apparently has come of its age. This assembled group of former
radical communists went in search of “enlightenment” much the same way as
Gautam Buddha, born in Nepal, did some twenty six hundred years ago, by heading
towards South of Nepal.
While Buddha attained his
enlightenment without seeking the support of the then rulers in the South, our
exploratory Maoists though have had to submit themselves to the mercy of the
former colony men across the border in order to ravage their own mother land
which they proved on June, 2002 when the two “heroes and builders” of New Nepal
inked an agreement which assumed the force of a Treaty with the Indian regime
as disclosed recently by Sukh Deo Muni-the lone Indian Guru of the Maoists.
Lord Buddha though kept on moving
across the territories which is now called India but Nepal Maoists remained
permanently seated in New Delhi as the “Guest of Republic of India-1947”. And
managed to damage their own soil from the secured shelter place. Great
nationalists. Our salute. Mother Nepal
must have wept silently though.
While Professor Muni’s revelation
speaks of so many things unspoken about the very intent of the declaration of
the so called people’s War against Nepal, it also concurrently speaks as to how
the Nepali communists begin with anti-India slogans and finally straighten out
in Jille-E-Lahi Emperor seat in Naya Dilli and ultimately how they are being
overly used by the one(s) which sends them all to Kathmandu in a “package” and
manages the Nepali state of affairs to run as per its dictates.
The Maoists people’s war though
caused immense damage to the Nepali infrastructure, whatever it had, but the
“new home grown people’s war” which was rehearsed by the otherwise disciplined
cadres of the ones who championed the said ‘imposed’ War to be fought with
their own soil in Kathmandu, July 20, 2012, reminded of adventurous Hollywood
films. When the rehearsal was so thrilling then we can’t imagine of the climax
that is yet to come. Yet we would love to watch the entire thriller. Have
patience.
The seventh plenum meet of the
namesake Maoists was in progress and the time was for the party workers to
comment upon the proposal (already influenced by Ambassador Shyam Saran) which
was read out by Chairman Dahal the other day. The moment one speaker began making
his sharp comments against Vice Chairman Bhattarai, the latter preferred not to
listen to his blistering remarks and wished to sneak out of the plenum hall.
This had been enough for Janardan Sharma Prabhakar-the Nepali version of V.
Lenin, who could easily read the Bhattarai mood and thus he jumped to the
podium and thoroughly tightened his fist around the neck (the Shirt neckline)
and forced him to seat back. It was like a horror film never screened in a big
hall that it was at the Bhrikuti Mandap, close to Nepal Tourism Board office,
and with this unprecedented pandemonium prevailed for all along the session
until it was announced closed. Thanks it was closed or else the HOME GROWN
PEOPLE’S WAR (sans Indian support this time) could have been a matter of great
headache for the entire Kathmandu Hospitals to take care of the wounded
veterans of the People’s war.
Yet things did not stop here.
Upon looking that their “paramount” leader-Dr. Bhattarai being pounced by one
of the sincere disciple of Comrade Dahal, one enthusiast from the Bhattarai
camp took the courage to throw a Chair directed towards the Party Chairman, the
Supreme Commander of the People’s Army, which, we have been told, hit the back
posture of a frightened Dahal who too wanted to leave the venue sooner than
later to avoid his further insult from his own regimented cadres. Yet the
swinging chair approached Dahal and hit him hard, we presume. It was just like
what we call Tit for Tat, if you kill my cat, I will kill your rat. Split seed
has already been sown. Thanks Mohan Baidya was not in town.
The session came into an expected
climax wherein one could see the unbelievable. Thanks the Almighty that the
Chairs were made of plastic material or else many a heads would have broken and
many a legs and limbs would have been found scattered here and there.
As was expected, PM Bhattarai
took to his heels to inform his wife as to how he was insulted by his own
cadres belonging to Dahal’s group. Yet Chairman Dahal kept his composure intact
but got the point as to why he and his associate Bhattarai were made the
dangerous target by the Rolpa jungle tigers.
To come to the point, the reasons
behind the swinging of the chairs must have well been understood by the
champions of the people’s war. We also presume that we too along with our
intelligent readers have got the point.
In summary, the irritation
associated with frustration mixed up with the acts of cheat and deceit played
against the innocent and illiterate “Maoists Militia” by their leaders at the
highest level must have collectively found an expression at the seventh plenum
meet. While the leaders enjoyed luxurious vehicles and resided in posh Bungalow
and amassed wealth cashing in upon the people’s war while being in power, then
the main actors who rocked the nation under the instructions of their Delhi
based leaders remain still in a pathetic condition.
Needless to say, the Chair
episode does tell that the ignored and rejected Maoists cadres will not now
settle for less which to a greater extent has entered into the minds of the top
hats of the party. No wonder, out of fear perhaps, Chairman Dahal abandoned his
luxurious car and has also promised that he will shift soon from the current
Bungalow to a smaller hut.
But what about the money that is
being talked to have been locked inside some Indian banks? What about the seven
crores that his son gulped while eloping with a girlfriend? And the
astronomical amount of money that are supposed to have been safely locked in
the Indian and foreign banks? From where this money came from? And what about
the rumor that Hisila Yami-Bhattarai is one of the richest women in South Asia?
Will Bhattarai and his family members declare the amount that they may have
pocketed through entering into several legal or illegal deals? Hisila is said
to have earned billions and billions after entering into the peace process,
claims the Dristi Weekly. She was also the minister of civil aviation. The CIAA
must read these lines carefully.
The Maoists cadres will chase
them come what may. A new class has now
emerged inside the Maoists. Bourgeoisie and the proletariats. The top hats have become capitalists and the
ones who elevated their ranks remain in the same condition from where they had
been seduced to fight against their own nation.
Nevertheless, India doesn’t need
to train Nepali Maoists in CHAKRATA, Dehradun as it did in the past. Now our
Maoists militias have known the people war tricks. If the trailer was screened
on July 20, the rest of the film can be well presented for the thrilling cinema
lovers right here in Kathmandu should the top hats of the Maoists party do not
correctly present themselves to the ones whom they apparently cheated.
The cantonment money embezzlement
is yet another part of the corruption scandal. This too is likely to fix the
nails right on the heads of the Maoist top ranking leaders. But where is Mahara
who received the cantonment Bank cheques? Let’s not talk of the company
commanders who were the in charge while giving the slashed salaries to the poor
Militias.
No surprise the party will see at
least three factions sooner than later. Prachanda group and then Bhattarai camp
and finally Narayan Kaji panel will most likely come into existence. Those who
could not be accommodated in these three camps will perhaps swell the strength
of Baidya or join Kamal Thapa’s party. Home grown people’s war is in progress.
Perhaps some will get themselves engaged in training the Indian Naxals. After all previous obligation must be honored.
At best the Indian Naxals can hire our Commandoes for gaining the tricks on how
to win a war. Chakrata training could be made available right here in Nepal in
one of its dense jungles.
