i don’t know how long this reform process will take….. how long it’ll take to change the course of Nepal…. from curse of darkness of more than 250 years to the dawn of bright future…..
Hye guys,
I told you all in my earlier comment,but many of you didnt believe.Its up to you guys to believe it or not.
Its almost been fixed that the king will nominate KG Bhattrai very soon.Leaders have in principle agreed to Constitutional monarchy and all party government.Seems that US and India have played a big role in changing leaders mind. It has been reported that Girija is not happy with the idea.Maoist seem to have been betrayed by the parties. Assurance have been given that the leaders in detention will be released in a few days.
I am so sorry for those who died and got injured,Seems that their sacrific has gone in vain. No change, same corrupt leaders,same moron king, and the same Maoist problem.
A piece of advice.I know we all love our mother land, but please lets stop being manipulated by those leaders.We are just being!!! Even though i do not appreciate what the maoist do ,but it may be the time we give a second thought to their way.
“I am so sorry for those who died and got injured,Seems that their sacrific has gone in vain. “
@RSS: I don’t agree with your comment, coz I believe those who died for the reform of our motherland won’t go in vain, sooner or later their sacrifice will bring new revolution which will change our Nepal, when the perception of Nepal and Nepalease will change from the mind of rest of the world…. one day we’ll stand among the top countries…. may be this won’t happen in our life time of will take several generation but the fact is that the blood and sacrifice of people certainly won’t go in vain…
Dear Rajesh,
I agree with you.
What you said is right,but we should also keep in mind that the spirit and the idea for which those people died has been betrayed.We were told that the goal of the present agitation was Constiuent Assembly, but now it seems to have been given up by the parties. Why do parties tell us things that they cannot or do not want to achieve? Isnt this some kind of manipulation? Arent they just trying to use us? Is there a guarantee that KG will not abuse his power in the future? Is there any assurance that the corrupt leaders will not be allowed to carry on their work? Why did the parties did that 12 point agreement with maoist? Was that just done for bargaining power with kg? We all know that maoist will not accept any thing less than constituent assembly,so what is the over progress the parties promished to bring?
I dont know what you see.I just see another 15 years of pain and suffering of Nepalese people.
Its just my opinion.
Dear friends who are fighting for the democratic republic!!
Beware of potential conspiration being hatched by king and his cronies!!!
If the remark of RSS is true that is very very unfortunate. If political parties( so called constittional parties), civil societies agree on this again the king start playing game. Agreeing on the the acheivement that is less the 1990 movement is total waiste. King will again start orchestrating plots uglier than murdering Madanbhandari and his own brother and his family. How does people come again in the street upon their call if they are betrayed like this. What a nonsence agreeing to keep military under the patronage of king? Nobody should trust on the fake democracy!!!
God Help Nepal and Nepalese People!!!
By the way there are reports that the reason Madhab Kumar Nepal’s release being delayed is because UML has been reluctant to give up the Demand of Constiutent Assembly.
Hey Sandesh,
If you really care about Nepal and Nepali’s why don’t you question the Maoists who have butchered so many people for merely questioning their policies and modus operandi? Perhaps you can get them to be more democractic instead of crushing all dissent?
There is no basis to trust RSS. I am confident that without discussing with seven political parties, the decision made by the king will not bring any solution. At the worst, if king can isolate Girija and Deuba from seven parties, which is very unlikely, it may create some problem with the movement, but in Nepalese politics there will be no sustainable solution without taking leftists into confidence, now even Maoist. I am more than confident, king have to kneel down. His conspiracy theory will not work anymore. I predict, at leat he has to do the following:
1. King will have to dissolve the cabinet, may be he will have to reinstate the parliament through SC also
2. Invite seven political parties for the meeting and for the all party Govenment.
3. I hope seven parties and Maoist will then carry out 12 point agenda further,
Trust me this will not be an easy exit for gyanendra.
@RSS I agree with and I know what ever you said is true everyone knows that we can trust snakes over Politicians. they are the bloody &h!T people, who for their short term goal sell their motherland’s pride and dignity…..
I really don’t know what will be the future of Nepal also the fact is that everyone should keep this fire of reform inside so one day when right time come…..this fire will bring revolution, a renaissance which brings light of reform and eliminate the darkness of cruel dictatorship..
“God Help Nepal and Nepalese People!!!”
So it’s upto God now.
@kirat: nooooo it’s upto us….. god never do anything by himself, he always wants us to do something and learn from it….
Oh, I thought you guys were sort of shifting the responsibility on God.
@Kirat: Never….Look..
A kind and steady heart can make a grey sky blue,
And a task that seems impossible, is quite possible for you.
A kind and steady heart, is sure to see you through.
It may not seem like very much right now,
It’ll do, it’ll do.
When you find yourself in the middle of a storm,
And you’re tired and cold and wet,
And you’re looking for a place that’s cozy and warm,
You’ll make it; you can never forget!
A kind and steady heart, can conquer doubt and fear.
A little courage goes a long, long way,
Gets you a little bit farther down the road each day,
And before you know it, you’ll hear someone say,
“That’ll do, that’ll do.”
A kind and steady heart, is sure to see you through.
A little courage goes a long, long way,
Gets you a little bit farther down the road each day,
And before you know it, you’ll hear someone say,
“That’ll do, that’ll do, that’ll do, that’ll do.”
Kind and steady hearted Rajesh-bursting into song. I wish Girija, Deuba and even the King had a kind and steady heart-we’d at least have blue skies more often
ha ah ha 🙂
After the restoration of democracy following four names should be changed for the convenience of Nepali people.
1.Royal Nepal Army = Rakta Pipasu Army.
2.Arm Polish Force = Aatankakari Foolish force
3.Nepal Police = Pagal Foolish
4.Private Commercial Banks = Pure Cunning Banks.
Rajesh ji
Oh my god hope Bhatrai will not the next PM.but this is also sure our lider were never with us like Girija did with the “Lauda” and Tnakpur. but King is also not our soulation.
Hopping we will fight for our freedom untill the End, no matter how much it will cous to get it.
jaya nepal
I think king again in dilly dallaying tactics. nobody believes him any more. he is consulting with his own chamchas except KP. KP also does not have any political values. Girija, Makune and Deuba won’t go to Darshan Bhet any more.Then what is the use of DB. That is only to decieve people once again. KP should have refused this but may be he thought of making some money for his Kapali Maiyya before dying. She made a lot of money when KP was PM last time.That’s the way congressis are, because you cannot wash an ass to make a cow. Girija also working for his daughter.Old habits die hard.
If the King still thinks he can hold on to power and fool the people it will be an end to monarchy in Nepal. Perhaps he really wants a ride on the Apache helicopter.
Kirat
My guess is that the King will not accept a consitutional monarchy. It would be too humiliating for someone as arrogant like Gyanendra. I think he will go into exile in India or somewhere in Europe.
I think he will try to negotitate with the parties so that he will backoff a little bit but he will still be supreme commander of the RNA. It depends how the political leaders deal with this. They might give in since they are desperate and the situation in ktm is getting worse with food/fuel shortages. But then it also depends how the people will react… do you think people in ktm are willing to go on fighting till the king is competely removed from power?
“I am so sorry for those who died and got injured,Seems that their sacrific has gone in vain.” RSS,
If people stop doing mad protest we won’t need out to take here to say like that…
Bhimsen-
What you say is exactly the opposite of the truth. Their sacrifice will only be in vain IF the uprising stops now. The only way to honour the dead and make sure their sacrifice was not in vain is to carry it through to the end and bring true democracy to Nepal. To give up now will simply leave Nepal bleeding for years more to come.
I don’t think most people want to see the army in the hands of the ‘King’. I really don’t.
Can you see from there the Maoist leaders salivating on the sideline?
I see no revolution. I just smell a big fat rat in Girija. He is gonna rat everyone and kiss the royal ass. Nepali janta herya heryai!! Ani the same old Maoist problem, only intensified four folds this time. Life in Nepal revolves in cycles.
Nepal ma ganatantra lyaune bhaye raja sang sangai yi bloodsuckers haru sanga pani ladnu parne chha Nepali haru le, ani matra aaunchha true democracy.
Hey Guys,
How is everyone doing around here? Is any Palace employees bothering you? Let me know–I know how to F*’em off.
About the penny worth so-called leaders, do not worry we will make sure to bury them alive if they lie to people and hug KG.
We are making some symbolic coffins to threaten them what we will do if they go after personal gains. Any party’s “leader” without people’s base can surrender to KG, but people will punish them real bad.
We are already taking caution against KG’s next lie and trying to caution people that our movement will continue until we have our power back and until we get to decide who stays and who quits.
Guys,
The KG is gone: believe me. If he did not, the parties would be gone, and there would be NO Democracy in your life time. In 2060, Nepal, the only monarchy, with its king Pharas, the son of late king Paras BB Shah, would be raping your grand-daughter in the street. People from all over the world would come to to the kingdom of Nepal to buy slaves (your sons and grand sons)like 400 years ago they used to go to Africa.
Mo’fo, slaves ! Slave Master Pharas, the king of Slave country Nepal, slave trafficking, slave minds.
Where is Oh No, the insane? He sounds more reasonable than you palace slaves!
If my next comment is to wait for moderation, Acharya, you are a facist. You know why?
You are censoring simple messages from a person who has been around for a long time and has behaved ok as far as the language and civility goes.
You have started acting like you are running Associated Press or Reuters or something. This is a piece of shit what you have here, so act like a shit. Do not act like KG, man.
Tell us your problem with me or anyone here, if you have one and clarify yourself why the censorship.
As the movement is getting stronger day by day, I can actually see Tombstone of Mr. KG which reads;
———-
B.I.H
2006
Psychopat
———–
PS. B.I.H – BURN IN HELL
G-Hangman:
When I read your post I could not help but crack up! It was hilarious!! This moderation BS also pisses me off – you spend so long writing a comment and then it says it is awating moderation…
Nice site you got… will be back again… That s all for the moment.
