By Neil Horning
The following is a translation of an interview conducted with Com. Karan, the Maoists District Secretary of Kaski, in the Maoists district office on February 22. The first part of the interview consists of questions devised by me, and the second consists of questions submitted to me online and from friends in Pokhara. Special thanks to Mahesh Bandari for serving as my translator.
Part 1:
The Medheshi People’s Rights Forum (MPRF) has raised many of the same issues that you have historically, and has recently said that they will contest the constituent assembly elections. What type of challenge do you believe this will pose to you?
It won’t effect the election because these are the same issues that we had years before. Now just before the constituent assembly the Medheshi Peoples Rights Forum has stolen our ideas. They are just trying to benefit from the Maoist work in the past. They are opportunists. It may reflect some weakness on our part that people were manipulated into supporting the MJF. We were going to raise all of those issues that they did during the constituent assembly. However, it is telling that while the MJF raises many of our issues, they do not talk about land redistribution or empowerment of marginalized casts. This indicates they are actually a Hindu fundamentalist organization in the Pocket of the King and the BJP.
Would you say they represent the ruling class of the Terai?
Yes
It has been reported often in the News that you are seizing voter roles, because the Electoral Commission is excluding migratory workers, people in rented houses and political activists who currently reside outside their district. Now that there are Maoist lawmakers in Parliament, aren’t efforts at the central level enough?
We are not doing that in on all locations, but only some, and only to put pressure on the Government. The government must provide a fair way for all people to vote peacefully.
What will you do if the government does not do this?
I am confident that the central deliberations will go our way. We will continue to apply pressure. It is unacceptable that someone would not be able to vote simply because they have a reason they can’t be at home, and there are too many people affected. The government must accept this.
Are you doing anything to ensure that people who are give donations to you do so out of genuine support rather than feelings of intimidation?
What the press says about intimidation is very partial. There are a quite a few people who believe that those who give us money do so out fear. However the majority of people are highly attracted to Maoist politics and that is why they are giving us donations.
What type of Maoist policies and programs are being conducted in this district/area?
We are doing the same types of policies and programs that are conducted in other districts, as per the direction of our party.
Can you give an example?
First we are coordinating with other political parties. We want to implement all of the social programs though the other political parties in a cooperative manner. Second, we are doing development work. For instance, the path from Nayapul to Gandruk needs to be maintained periodically. The last time this happened it cost 20 lakh. This time we did it and it cost 5 to 7 lakh (1 lakh = aprox. $1400 US).
How does the concept of the “Dictatorship of the proletariat” interface with multiparty democracy? Are you abandoning the “Dictatorship of the Proletariat,” postponing it, or redefining it?
We haven’t abandoned it, but we are redefining it. We are fighting for a people’s republic; a republic of all peoples who can stand up to America and the King.
It seems that now instead of a dictatorship over the bourgeoisie, it is a dictatorship over royalists…
We want to have dictatorship over the Bourgeoisie. But now this is a very important tactical step that we have to take. It is a beginning. Now we have to go against royalists together.
The Maoists are going to be entering the interim government next week. Do you have your eye on any particular programs or ministries? Does the U.S. decision to cut aid to these programs effect your decision?
The U.S. can make any kind of decision that they want. We will not beg from them. It does not affect our entry into certain programs. There will come a point after the constituent assembly that we will have the right to claim certain programs, but does not mean that we entered the government in order to fight over ministerial posts.
Do you know which ones you want?
Not at this time.
American Ambassador James F. Moriarty has recently been claiming that you are buying crumby weapons in Bihar. The Indian intelligence agency is claiming that you are buying weapons from Let, and Com. Gaurav recently claimed that “Since entering mainstream politics, we have increased our military strength from 10,000 to a 37,000-strong PLA.” These claims combined may lead people to wonder about your commitment to arms management. Do you have anything to say that would alleviate their worries?
I don’t like to say anything about Moriarty says. America is the proudest and most unilateral country. They like to say “If any other country doesn’t do what we say, then blah, blah, blah…” The report from India is a matter of sadness, but it has not been confirmed officially, so I cannot comment on it. The troop levels of our army have remained constant, so Com. Gaurav was probably talking about an increase in activists. On the issue of acquiring arms, we have three strategies of decreasing priority. First, we make them ourselves. Next, we steal them from the enemy. Last, we buy them. We had sufficient arms captured from the Army, so we didn’t buy many.
However, now is the time to be in the government. If we stay in the government, soon we will have all the arms, so it is not necessary to get arms from other countries. All these reports of buying weapons from other countries are just rumors against our party. Now we are in open politics.
What, if anything, are you planning to change about Gurka recruitment in Nepal?
The people in Nepal join the Gurkas as a Means of economic support. But they are forced to fight in foreign wars that they have no stake in. If they were not compelled to join out of economic necessity they would not do so. So it is not really a matter of honor but a matter of slavery. The Gurkas will not be needed once we have economic development, so we will end Gurka recruitment in Nepal.
Which comes first?
The development must come beforehand. We will end the recruitment once they can all be provided with jobs.
How do you envision the future for foreigners in Nepal? Do residents originating from developed countries have anything to worry about?
There will be no problems for foreigners on the part of the Maoists. The claims that we will stop them from coming or cause them problems are media exaggerations. However, we want foreigners who love Nepal. Those who hurt the country will be thrown out.
What role is the new Young Communist League going to fulfill? Will they be helping in the implementation of your various programs? Will they serve as a replacement for the militia?
It is not a new role for the militia. There are hundreds of thousands of youth in Nepal who have no employment or chance for productive activity. There are also more and more young people who are coming forward politically. The YCL will be an outlet for those youth.
Part 2:
Can you draw a picture of the new state structure? An organizational diagram of how things will work.
We want a structure of interdependent yet independent regions linked like a chain underneath a central hierarchy, much like the system in Switzerland. We want to follow the system of Switzerland very closely.
Does this include the Swiss military structure, with no standing army?
Yes, it will be the same. But this will happen very slowly.
What are the top 3 things that need to happen in order to achieve lasting peace in Nepal.
There is just one thing.Those who have been ruled over need to be given the right to rule themselves. All other things flow from that.
You have received nothing but trouble from the American administration over the years. Yet, as it is now, if a tourist goes into the mountains it is nearly impossible for them to keep from putting money in America’s pocket. In light of this what is your position on American products in Nepal (Coca-Cola, Marlboro etc.)? It is known that you have in the past closed down various industries for one reason or another. So, is there a Maoist double standard regarding American products?
I appreciate this question. Whoever asked it truly loves this country. America has the same policy all around the underdeveloped world. Above all, America uses its products to capture markets and dominate others. There may seem to be a double standard. But we are fighting in our own way. We will develop products like Coca-Cola and Marlboro here. Then there will be no need to fight American products.
What are you going to do to ensure tourism continues and increases? Furthermore how will you ensure the conservation of the National Parks? Where does Tourism fit into your future economic plans?
We have a complete package for economic change. Only developing one sector will not change the economic situation of the country. Nepal must not only be politically independent, but it must be economically independent as well. Tourists will always be welcome in Nepal. What is happening now is that Nepalese people are going all over the world and showing people our wonderful culture. We would like to have the opposite of that. We would like People from all over the world to come here. Then when they go home they can spread our culture themselves. When tourists come here in the future, they will have total security.
What is your view on the Indo-American military alliance? Deals to provide India with modern jet fighters for instance?
This is just another example, and another means for, the U.S. domination of all the countries of the world.
Do you think the king should be tried in international court?
Of course.
International Court?
Yes, he’s a criminal; of course he should be tried in international court.
There are 3 different main religions in Nepal; Buddhism, Hinduism, and Islam. Officially, the Maoists do not believe in any of them. How will you respond to religions that try to assert themselves politically, such as the case of Hindu Fundamentalists?
We want to stop all oppression that happens in the name of religion. However, anyone may freely practice the religion of their choice.

More maoists hogwash claptrap and propoganda. By the way the Nayapul- Ghandruk path was very well maintained when it was under the King Mahendra Trust, it’s just another excuse for the maoists to extort everyone including tourists in this popular tourist route.
How about asking, should Prachanda be tried in international court?
Leading questions Horning, nice try.
I don’t know where my earlier comment dissappeared to but these are all leading questions. Ask the comrade what about the JTMM (Goit) faction, a breakaway group from the maoists, are they also copy cats? Why are previous maoists kiling maoists? Maybe that is copy cat behaviour as well.
Oh yes what an answer A YADAV represents the ruling classes of the Terai. What a laugh. And A Pushpa Dahal on the other hand and a Baburam Bhattarai represents the downtrodden classes. Ha Ha Ha Ha.
Here’s one you forgot – Should Prachanda be tried in international court?
I really dont’ know where my first comment went but it included a comment about this claim of work being done in maintaining the Nayapul-Ghandruk route. I’ve travlled that route many times and KMTNC was doing a good job previously maintaining this route. This is just another excuse by these thugs to extort money from us and tourists in this popular tourist route, instead of letting the trust do a job they did very well.
Stand up against America and the King huh comrade, not to long ago India was on the lead, where have they gone recently?
Man, country men- I came to bury Caeser not to praise him…. Thats all I can say. by the way why immigration has not yet checked of Neil residency status. from the look of it- he has overstayed in welcome.
hehe Neil:
We at Bay Area always say , “If you want to see liberals, go to Berkeley. If you want to see communists, go to SFSU. ” Man, you went to Nepal to see them?
🙂
This is one maoist interviewing another. What can be expected? Should george bush be tried in internation court? Should tony blair? should prachanda or girija? Oh sorry, i forgot one of these two (prachanda or girija) is being nominated for nobel peace prize. But yes, pontiff, Neil’s visa seems to have expired.
His visa has definitely expired in my books, and now it is time to expire Prachanda and thugs as well. At this rate with no improvement in their ways people will have no choice but do the obvious come hell or high water. I am just waiting for the democrats to give the word, there will be a massacre, as one villager told me, without their guns we will skin them alive.
Anybody who wanted me to ask more offensive questions missed their chance here.
I figured at least some of you guys who like to ignore everything wrong that the government has done would pop over and put in a zinger or two. Too bad; It would have been interesting to see his response.
As for the “international court” question, that was submitted by a business owner I know in Pokhara. Karan’s answer surprised me quite a bit. I would assume the Maoists want to try Gyanendra locally.
Stop day dreaming!!
Stop the crap that you will make Nepal same as Switzerland!!
Neil,
Seems that you have become a proganda tools for the maoist. What about the International Court not trying those maoist including Prachanda, Babu Ram, Pasang and other who are responsible for the death of 13000 innocent lives.
Why only blame the government for set back, for the last 10 yrs the maoist have and destroyed the nation and its infrastructure built under both foreign grants/aid and loans and not to forget the taxpaid by nepali.
Most foreigner like you are also responsible for the situation in nepal, where you exploit the poor nepalese society. What contribution have you made to nepal.
Today after 238 years, we are back to zero just because of the ill, cunning plan of maoist by looting, abduction, destroying the fragile social fabric of the nation. They 10 years back sowed these seeds and now we are all paying for it.
Today, we all stand in the soil to be proud nepalese due to the fact that Prithvi Narayan Shah made a unified nation with char barna 36 jat ko phulbari, but the maoist with the ill mind have destroyed that, Today the first challenege is to knit this social fabrication back as “WE ONE NEPALI”.
SPAMers have failed to deliver what was promised to the nation during the janaldalan, thus they now divert the issues to the king and his speech. What about all those disaster interview given by Dina Nath and Gajureal in Nepal, straight challenge to the lwa maker by Lokendra, why these issues are not raised.
Maoist are scared of not getting the votes of the people, thus now they are threathening the SPA to acept “Republic” in Nepal, highjacking the right of people to vote for the choice of their political system.
If rachnda was so popular why was there need for 2 tier security for him and his thugs. have they proved that some one has spent crores to assisnate them. If they are, hope they are it will be those rastriya sevak, who fought for the nation and were now neglected, those have been displaced, those who were innocently killed and wiped the sindoor and potey of those young women.
WE WILL NOT FORGIVE THESE SPAMer IF THEY DO ANYTHING AGAINST THE WISH OF THE PEOPLE.
“The people”???? Didn’t the ‘people’ bring the SPAMERS into power in the first place?
And may I ask what contribution you have made Mr. Chudry?
Lala! Chinese boys are sharp! Chinese girls are beautiful ! !
The Maoists are going to end the Gurkha volunteers from doing what they want to? Are these guys still so stupid? They still believe they are going to make Nepal Switzerland?
Idiots. There was a man called Mao, and he bankrupted China, because he wanted it to be the world’s leading steel exporter. ( He also killed 20-30 million Chinese in the process.)
With all the brain-deads around, what can Nepal expect? At least the royalists, stupid as they often are, have some grasp of reality. The Maoists on the other hand, have been living in the jungle too long.
“Anybody who wanted me to ask more offensive questions missed their chance here.”
That’s a lame excuse. You can use your common sense to make the interview less biased. If you want to do journalism do it responsibly. Go listen to some bbc nepali service interviews and learn. Please don’t make a hero out of idiots and make a fool out of everyone by acting as Maoists’ mouthpiece in the name of taking interview. Same goes to Wagle also.
Maoists want to stop Gurkha recruitment?? Isnt that the most nonsensical hilarious piece of crap that we’ve ever heard?? Their reasonning is Gurkhas are made to fight wars which they have no stake upon. So what?? Wht diff is it from a Nepali worker who toils in a foreign land and brings in the much needed $$ to the country. Atleast Gurkhas job is more respectable with pensions and security for their children. I think Maoists are going overboard with their communist ideologies. Like someone said they been living in the jungles for too long.
They are going to commit double grave mistakes here – 1. wrath of the Gurkhas Limbu, Rai, Gurung, Magar etc. 2. they will scuttle whatever nice forex Gurkhas bring into the country.
Comrades – wake up, you guys are living in the past. How can you be so stupid. Nepal into a Switzerland?? dream on.
These maoists are heavy on ideologies but nill on economic realities. Have we even heard of a sound economic policy they have proposed so far? No, coz they know majority population wouldnt understand hence its not important to come up with a economic strategy. Fool maoists, they will feed the common Nepalese either with their ideologies or with bullets.

My personality is very outgoing and lovable. Humor is a big part of my persona. Do you think you can handle me??
Idiot Patriot. Like some poster asked you earlier, ‘where does your patriotism lie’, I ask you also, WHERE does your patriotism lie? Is it in the police force of SIngapore, or Brunei? Is it in the barracks of your master – Brits, or is it in the plains of India with jawans of Baharatia Sena?
All the MYTH about MARTIAL RACE was CONSTRUCTED by Brits during the Raj to enlist simple minded folks to fight for their super capitalist and colonial cause. It were these same group who fought for the Brits everywhere -silencing the voices of people demanding independence from Britain. Now, the same group – in the garb of self-determination, are calling strikes and bandhs and demanding ‘autonomy’ from the country they absolutely ignored before. A VC here and a VC there doesn’t make the Rais and Limbus – along with many others who sacrificed for the CROWN OF BRITAIN and SULTAN OF BRUNEI more respectable than those RNA and even Maoist soldiers who actually died for THEIR country. Now THAT’S patriotism – unlike your hollow facade which is symtomatic of a TRAITOR.
Patriot, a traitor of highest regard!
Sheep Nepalese should accept this that their Bahunism and Newarism has ended. You started the hate towards Madhesis. We demand a new Nation: Madhesh.
Maoists thought they could use the Madheshis; they made the worst decision. Pahades are scared of Maoists and joining them in govt. Madheshis scare the Maosist. No wonder, Prachanda Bhaiya is scared that he needs protection from Madheshis. he is aware, he can be chopped off anytime. History repeats itself. how can madhesis accept a terrorist talking about Democracy?
if nepal has to be a better place, these terrorists need to be gunned down ASAP. There is no need to feed the terrorists. They deserve hell.
If nepal has to be ruled by terrorists, I say FkkUK Nepal
Jai Madhesh
Madhisey,
Umm…dumb ass. ‘Scared of Madhisey’ and ‘protection from Madhisey’ do not go together in one sentence. Accept it, apart form Yadavs of Mahabharat – who ended up killing themselves in their senseless fit of alcoholism, you guys are not very well known for holding your ground. Essentially, you are NOT the ‘fighting type’ at all. Your momentary sparks will die out once RNA takes the law and order into its hand or when monsoon starts where all the bhiyas and behenas will go back to cultivating the arable lands – whichever comes first.
So cut the hollow threat and be humble and subservient to Bahun-Chettri-Thakuri-Newar nexus. We take on the responsibility of feeding you, educating you, and one day, when your population is READY and they stop chewing paan, spitting out the lefovers all around the corners of Singha Darbar, perhaps we will find you capable of running the great nation of Nepal.
Creating a new Nepal by wiping the myth of autonomy – Madhisey or otherwise.
freeyoursenses:
You write like an educated witty fellow but you think like a real angry ethno-centric ass*hole. Maybe it’s this same type of thinking (“So cut the hollow threat and be humble and subservient to Bahun-Chettri-Thakuri-Newar nexus”) that got us here in the first place. Get off your high Bhun-Chettri-Newari horse and start taking some sense! Two days of blockades by the Madeshis and half of Kathmandu will starve. Then is your elite Rana ass going to stop drinking, gambling, marrying for sister and going to go cultivate the land for the rest of us? Or is your Bhun ass going to stop eating pedhas and go to the fields? I think not!
Oh and let me save you the trouble before you go off on a rant – I am not even a Madeshi. But I am a Nepali.
By the way it’s the NA not the RNA. Might want to keep up with the news.
Freeyoursenselessbrain,
You’re really pissing me off. UWB gets idiots from time to time, but you’re at the absolute bottom of the human intelligence spectrum. I mean, you’re dirt, you’re scum, you’re things I can’t even describe.
Check your family history. I believe there has been more than one case of incest.
Get out of here.
Make that at the bottom of the human intelligence pyramid. In any case, two or more of your retarded blood relatives had a merry time with each other.
Hus Punditji, I will shut up – provided that ETHNICITY does NOT become the basis of qualification for ruling ONE Nepal. However, as long as demands for autonomy persists, I shall continue pounding the fakes in this blog and elsewhere.
Ethnocentric, me? Very well, you must have concluded such after reading my multiple posts. Certainly, I have no desire to be a Mahatma; I do however make concessions for independent thoughts that view autonomy from critical angle.
But the perveyors of ‘autonomy and self-determination’ severly lack the tradition of self-inquiry and self-criticism. Blame game is the name of their game.
ALL the problems faced by Nepal – according to Bahuns, generate from Rana colonialism. For Ranas, they generate from uttaulo-bigreko Bahuns. Newars have ancient misgivings against Shahs for conquering a civilized Kathmandu. Janjatis claim that they’d have been happier in Yalamber’s reign instead. Tharus say Bahuns tricked them into developing taste for delicious rodents.
The point is, blame game does not cease, and if such become a basis for ‘restructuring’ the new Nepal, prevailing conditions for ethic cleansing and seperatism becomes the most likely scenerio and very soon, there won’t be a Nepal to speak of.
I gather you are weak in the art of polemics and rhetoric but I insist on the RNA, thank you.
But let me tell you this, it brings tears to my eyes to see someone overlook their ethnicity for a more universal and common identity that of a NEPALI!
pamperd manan..
Ooo… I am pissing off the idiot who cannot respond but get annoyed when others are. Freaking crybaby.
I think you are going to explode if I persit with my comments here which, just to see you turn green and splatter all over the wall, I shall continue. The incest thing, is that the best you can come up with. Idiot, fuktard, dumbfukk!
manan: disagree with FYS but you can’t tell him not get out of here. If you want a democracy you need to tolerate all kinds of opinions… no what how misguided they are.
“We demand a new Nation: Madhesh.” – it’s called India. If you don’t wish to part of Nepal and be a Nepali then put on your Ghandi cap and cross the border. Sure I agree you all have been mistreated and we need to change Nepal’s socio-political system but please don’t advocate the disintegration of Nepal.
‘The point is, blame game does not cease, and if such become a basis for ‘restructuring’ the new Nepal, prevailing conditions for ethic cleansing and seperatism becomes the most likely scenerio and very soon, there won’t be a Nepal to speak of.’
Agreed!!
Those of you interested in what I actually think of what Karan said, can look at my latest post on my personal blog.
Well Neil, I saw the shit that you have posted on your site. Same leading questions like “wow, what a cool weather, what do you think?”, “Everest is the tallest mountain, don’t you think so?” Stop your crap and please stop polluting this site. Do whatever you want to do with flirting girls in your page.
Frankly I really am not bothered what Horning says, I don’t even know why he is given the space here. It is this sort of unneccesary attention which is given (and I am guilty as charged) that encourages more propoganda from people who have no clue. Let’s just move on.
The leading questions you see in the first part of the interview are follow up questions. The ones you see in the second part such as “Should the king be tried in international court?” are not my questions.
Should Neil Horning be tried in a local Nepali court for crimes against the integrity of this nation?
B (16:03:53) :,
I would agree with that. Let’s see.
1) If you are a foreigner and you side up with the terrorists in USA, France, UK, or for that matter even in India…you end end with TADA, POTA and all kinds of anti-terror clauses and end up straight in Guantanamo. Remember that a Australian citizen has been put in Guantanamo by USA (for supporting Al Qaida) and Australians have been pleading for the release of their citizen but ah, he still rots in Guantanamo.
We have a strong case against Neil Horning for supporting the terrorists and indulging in terrorist activities in Nepal. We will just see how long can he save his ass and this time we won’t even deport him to his country. Tried and tested along with other Mao criminals here.
And yes, Pushpa Dahal and Baburavan and SHIT OLA won’t be tried in Nepal. They will be sent to International Criminal Court…so that they stay there and don’t breath in the air of Nepal.
Questions are a many, it is up to the questionaire to put them forward and present them to the public later. There is a choice – the choice of choosing the question(s) whether they be ones own or someone elses question(s). If anyone has seen or been a part of just this UWB forum, there are plenty of serious questions hitting at the crux of the matter, none are covered by the above which would make the comrade wince. Leading as always and therefore guilty as charged. Nevertheless it is a futile exercise to convince propoganda machines.
“If anyone has seen or been a part of just this UWB forum, there are plenty of serious questions hitting at the crux of the matter”
None of which are being asked by you, scoop.
I asked questions that I genuinely wanted an answer to. Some of the answers were dogmatic pablum, and some were clarifications on points that had heretofore not been explained (in English at least).
You seem to want me to ask questions simply to embarrass them. What purpose other than embarrassing them do you believe that would serve? I already know the Maoists are using child soldiers; I’ve seen them. I already know they are abusing human rights; I can see the reports. I can also tell you how they would probably answer your questions. In other words, I would lose access and gain no information.
If you want to go try and embarrass them you are free to. The Maoists have an office in every town. You can walk right into the office and ask them if they think Prachanda should be tried in international court. Tell me he how it goes.
noname and scoop:
Shut the fcuk up. All you guys do is come here and attack Norning. I don’t often agree with Norhing has to say but he is at least is interviewing Maoists and brining to light their thinking and other issues. You 2 pussies just sit at home and bi*tch and whine.
If Nepal has to be ruled by Spammers and Terrorists, why the hell will I call myself Nepal. We have more than 50% in Nepal. hence, the demand is legitimate, we want a new nation — Madhesh.
We advocate for Madhesh. We favor Madhesh, and we will SNATCH madhesh from you.
Jai Madhesh!!!
“I already know the Maoists are using child soldiers; I’ve seen them. I already know they are abusing human rights; I can see the reports. I can also tell you how they would probably answer your questions. In other words, I would lose access and gain no information.”
Neil boy, my kid, what are you talking about? Do you mean to say that you compromise your questions just because you want not to LOSE ACCESS???? You must be kidding man. And kidding with that girl who flirted with you in Shivratri ganja trip? Don’t do that here. Here people know what journalism is about. Its about asking right questions and all those issues of child recruitment, human rights violations fall in that category.
Yaqi! I also missed you yesterday! Why Jackson is hard ? ?
freeyoursenses really seems to be after me personally, I dont understand why. All I said was criticize Maoists who want to stop Gurkha recruitment. I believe Gurkhas bring in much of the needed $$ for Nepal besides helping alleviate much of Janjatis living standard.
freeyoursenses – have you become so blinded by racism that you chose to attack me for making sensible and rational remarks?? Common, your fancy rhetorics is actually making you look like a racist fool than anything else. Before you go any further, I will let you have the priviliedge of feeling vindicated first. I had the temptation of being a racist myself and strongly advocated autonomy at the cost of anything else, but after spending time with people and with diverse views in this blog I have changed my mind and want what is really good for Nepal. Of course that doesnt mean I will give up my fight for equal treatment. The problem with you and your type is while you advocate politically correct rhetorics, you JUST FAIL TO ACKNOWLEDGE OUR PROBS. And I think thats the diff between people like you and me. So carry on and indulge yourself. But your ranting will only be counterproductive to what you hope to achieve here.
UWB: comment deleted
Pundit,
If you’ve run out of your lame ass arguments that’s fine, but don’t vent your frustrations on the rest of us. To each his own. We don’t need you to moderate thank you very much. Further, I guess you’re the guy out there making a difference – what a f’ing joke. You’re forever in this blopody blog – get a life.
Horning,
In case you missed it – Should Prachanda be tried for anything at all?
How about just this one question you wanker.
Embarass them? Making them wince does not mean embarrasing them, it means that they internally know many things done by them are plain wrong, unless of course they are cold blodded killers. And if they believe they have wronged – who is reponsible, and what is the punishment?
Horning, if you’re going to only ask glorifying questions then why bother doing the job you do? Journos take risks all the time. Are you serious about what you do or are you there to just ask silly questions?
I have asked maoists these questions directly but they only show me there teeth and go on about the sacrifices they made to the nation, and how everyone should work together now. It’s a pity a foreign self styled journo does not have the gall to ask the tough questions. What is the point Horning? If you’re doing it for your phd fine, but no need to paste it all over the place.
Finally, is I’m not asking the tough questuons, why the long defensive response.
OOps I did it again – giving importance to a waste of space. Time to move on. UWB please try and post articles that’s worth the time we give reading it. There are plenty of articles out there written by people whi have a clue which never make their way to your site.
1) Free Chitwan
2) Free Limbuwan
3) Free Karnali
4) Free Madhesh
Any more Free?
I mma guess, me and my friends in my area could ask for a free nation too. We don’t want to be ruled by the SPAM warlords.
Scoop: count how many and how long (and how worthless?) you posts are first and tell me I am on this blog all the time. Go get a room somewhere with your bum chum ‘noname’ – that should lighten you up. Moron.
Pundit,
Forget about it and move on. I have no time or intention to go on with this childish escapade with you.
