The government of Girja Prasad Koirala is responsible to the YCL action against currupt and bank defaulter Sita Ram Prasain

Many of us have been asking this question since the day before yesterday when we knew that the YCL “arrested” Sita Ram Prasain, corrupt and bank defaulter from his office in a dramatic manner: How do you react? Many people have been reacting in two ways:
1. That’s wrong but this guy should have been arrested by the state long time ago.
2. That’s right because this state is not representing the rule of law (which means arresting Sita Ram) and, in that case, anyone can take laws in their own hands.
The Maoist youth wing Young Communist League (YCL) Monday handed over “wanted” former chairman of Nepal Cottage and Small Industries Development Bank (NCSIDB) Sita Ram Prasain to Kathmandu Police during a press meeting yesterday afternoon. The YCL had taken Prasain – against whom the government had issued arrest warrant for involvement in financial irregularities — under its custody Sunday alleging the police of “showing no interest in making his arrest.”
“We handed Prasain, who has been involved in corruption and irregularities to the police to take action against him. We took this step to begin the process of building a corruption free new Nepal. Although Prasain admitted of committing financial irregularities, he maintained that no arrest warrant had been issued against him.”- Sagar, Valley Incharge of YCL.
“I did not do any wrong and I am ready to face any punishment if the court finds me guilty. I did not get any summon and I am not involved in activities to destroy the bank.”- Sita Ram Prasain
I think I support the first reaction but won’t condemn the second one as well. I don’t blame YCL or Young Communist League, the youth wing of CPN Maoist, for Sita Ram drama. Girija Prasad Koirala, the Prime Minister of the coalition government, can’t escape easily from the drama by just providing us the new full form of YCL: “Young Criminal League.” Yes many of the YCL activities are deplorable and criminal like in nature but in this case it’s more to do with the failure of Koirala or the State than the whatever-brand act of YCL. If YCL is a “criminal” outfit because they arrested Sita Ram and handed him over to Nepal Police for further legal proceedings, Koirala is also a criminal because he, as the prime minister of this country, wasn’t implementing the rule of law by not arresting Sita Ram. Koirala said that YCL made a joke of law and order. Right. But what the hell was Koirala doing? Exactly the same. It was widely believed that Koirala was actually providing security and environment to a criminal like Sita Ram Prasain instead of arresting him. The government’s inability of arrest Sita Ram Prasain had made the joke of law enforcement agencies in Nepal. Prasain was openly throwing out parties in which who’s who of the political circles attended. Communist chameleons like Modanath Pashrit were writing columns giving reasons why they attended the Sita Ram Prasain party and were not feeling guilty over their deeds.
Under directions of the Nepal Rastra Bank, the Police Headquarters had issued arrest warrants against Prasain and other senior officials of the financially-troubled bank on charges of extending loans with the intention of fraud, causing a loss of Rs 280 million to the bank on August 22 last year. The arrest warrant against Prasain was issued after Nepal Rastra Bank forwarded a number of cases to the financial crime branch of Nepal Police after its initial investigations found that some of the cases attracted the Fraud Section of Civil Code. Prasain, however, was open and wild. He was attending public functions and running Universal Tours and Travels, the general sales agent of Korean Air, as chairman. Despite the claim that police headquarters had circulated the arrest warrant to all its regional offices, Kathmandu District Police sources said it never received such a warrant.
After they received Sita Ram Prasain from YCL, the Kathmandu Police immediately filed a case against him in Kathmandu district court. Look at that! How can you speak against YCL, particularly in this case, if you are filing case against the person ‘arrested’ by YCL and handed over to you? YCL got immunity from its earlier ‘criminal-like activities’ because of Prasain incident. And we must admit Koirala provided the cover to YCL by not arresting his relative Prasain.

After spotting him, they should have stopped him from escaping and called the police to have him arrested, instead of capturing him themselves and taking into their custody.
There still are more great culprits in the big parties,proved for their corruption by the Court and the Akhtiyar, and master of many great scandals of our time.
Should not there be one to hang the bell round the cat’s neck?
On GPK – I have said it before and I say it again this chap should quit and appoint someone else PM. I don’t buy the argument about GPK being the guy holding all together theory. The fact is he does not allow any one capable even within his shadow – just a bunch of yes men.
If this Prasai is guilty the YCL chose a perfect target to do a publicity stunt. I call it that because that is all it was – they could have just caught him and handed him to the cops without the khula munch circus.
The fact is the govt. is not doing it’s job in keeping law and order. I say good on the YCL if they are doing a citizens arrest but now the government should take the hint and do their job.
Oh yes – let’s not forget to remind the YCL fellows that if they want the govt. to do their job then they have to allow their cadres from getting arrested as well for criminal activities. But they seem to stage protests when cops catch criminals within the YCL. Does this mean they can do what they want, but if one of their own is in the wrong no one can touch them? (we have had enough to the neck with – we will look into the matter and take action by the likes of Prachanda and co.). So what is the point of this publicity stunt when you can’t practice what you preach?
Now, lets see in right prospective. YCL is not the police, YCL is doing these actions to discredit the existing apparatus and YCL is not limited to capital city only. If you look at it- all these add up to a very nefarious design by the maoist.
Rather than putting out a knee jerk reaction by saying what they did was right- see it little deeper and that should send chills down your spine.
Parsian may be the crook (white collar criminal) and he deserves to be given day in court and if convicted then he should face the sternest sentence- due process of law is a hallmark of democracy. This does not mean giving free license to willful criminals rather a level playing field to everyone- be it a victim or the perpetrators of crime. None is allowed to take law into their own hands to gain popular support, incite vigilante tendencies, and support retribution without proper due process.
Once again let me end by saying -Multiparty system with Constitution Monarchy.
DOA , you are right on the money….. absolutely correct… this is the most obviously explanation for why Pushpa Kamal and ceremonial Baburam keep saying– we didn’t enter the cities to go back to the jungle. Well, why would they? They have brought the jungle with them to the cities. This is rule of the jungle on display—- law? what law? order? what order? The self proclaimed lion and the tiger (in fact they are monkeys) think, this “singo” Nepal is their territory and they and the delirious followers do not need to do anything by the book.. because they think they are powerful enough to bulldoze over every law abiding citizen (who would never retaliate and will remain mum). People like Pushpa Kamal (who was giving a wry smile the other day on TV when the interviewer was complimenting his “cult” status) can easily be blinded by power. Well, to their utter surprise, the might be a rebellion building up– both within the terrorist party itself and more importantly among the voiceless Nepalese people who have been at the receiving end of the regressive king, terrorist maoists and very corrupt and dishonest political party leaders.
1. GPK is never the public choice for his such stupidity. Worst leader of all times.
2. Prasai may be Bank defaulter, but he had not robbed the bank and killed its security personel.
3. Prasai had not killed any CRIMINAL too forget about killings of innocent people.
4. No doubt Prasai should be tried, but who will catch and punish the killers.
5. I will give Hats of to YCL if they can catch at least one killer.
and why is the Truth and Reconciliation Committee not formed yet? This was one of the major promises that the terrorists made when they joined the government. This committee was to find out AND punish all those from both sides of the war who killed, tortured, disabled and displaced all those innocent people who were never on either side of the argument. ALl they wanted was to live a peaceful lives with their families. Now, those dead ones and their families want justice. True, people like Prasain should be tried and punished IF found guilty, but these killers who are walking around the street preaching the country about what kind of set up is best, should be made accountable for their atrocities as well. Empty apologies aren’t enough!!
The issue we are debating is lot more serious than whats in the surface. Are we being forced to accept activities against all the tenet thats hold the society together or are we being readied as scarificial lamb to be slaugthered.
King has been made the villian, some by his action mostly by ignoring India’s omipresence and consequently SPAM bereting it as a lap dog does to please a master. No wonder in another post king has accepted his follies but the fault he committed was trying to be a true Nepali where most of the so-called- leaders were already coathangers or lackey of India in the first place. The recent sms poll conducted by the very paid propogandist of India showed that people disliked “run to Delhi” as downright inappropiate- so days and tide will turn.
So anything but the truth is very evident- this nation due to its unique geographiocal, cultural, and political position NEEDS monarchy. The truth will break out soon but the only fear is it might just be too late as barbarians SPAM are already on the mode to destroy the very notion of one nation under one flag and people.
I am in disbelief here at some of the bloggers. The issue isn’t wheather Sita Ram is innocent. That is far beyond the point. The point here is that you cannot allow groups like the YCL, who have no authority, to take law into their own hands and go around acting like vigilantes! The YCL is not an apparatus of the state. The group is comprised of former Maoist combatants. Why they are not in their camps should be the real question here. If you condone their today, who knows what they will do next. There is no one regulating them… I am really suprised at Kirat’s comment.
amanush:
Hey why don’t you get your head out of Prachanda’s as*s and then we can talk? I am interested to know what drives a man to support the YCL
What we know about the rule of law ;
Government decisions are made according to written law and rules
Rules are applied as much as possible consistently to all
Courts provide citizens consistent, written process (due process) before life, liberty, or property is taken
Courts provide reasons based upon the law for their decisions
The difference between “rule by law” and “rule of law” is important. Under the rule “by” law, law is an instrument of the government, and the government is above the law. In contrast, under the rule “of” law, no one is above the law, not even the government. The core of “rule of law” is an autonomous legal order.
The opposite of rule of law is rule of person. There are two kinds of rule of person. The first kind is “rule of the few persons,” examples of which include tyranny and oligarchy. The second kind of rule of person is “rule of the many persons,” an example of which is the ancient Greek democracies. The common feature of rule of person is the ethos that “what pleases the ruler(s) is law.” That is, under rule of person, there is no limit to what the rulers (the government) can do and how they do things.
There are two common misconceptions in China. First, when some writers describe “rule of person,” they mean only “rule of the few persons.” These writers think that, as long as we have democracy (“rule of the many”), we have justice and rule of law. These writers forget that the popular will can rule with or without constitutional and legal limits. Without constitutional and legal limits, popular will can be as destructive as, or even more destructive than, the unfettered discretion of “the few.” Examples include the injustices of classical Greek democracy, terrors of the French Revolution and the crimes against humanity committed during the Chinese Cultural Revolution. Second, some writers in China think that, as long as laws are passed through democratic procedures, they represent the general will (a la Rousseau) and therefore are just laws. These writers forget that “popular will” is not necessarily “general will” (as Rousseau himself warned us more than two hundred years ago). Unfettered popular will can not only deviate from the Rousseauian general will, it can run against and destroy the general will.
For example, in constitutional and criminal law, there is a prohibition on “ex post facto” laws, that is, no one should be punished for a crime not previously defined in law. In other words, the government cannot simply define a new crime and apply the new definition retrospectively. The rationale for this principle is that, first, the government should not be allowed to abuse its power by punishing individuals for political or other conveniences; second, it would be grossly unjust and oppressive for the government to punish someone for behavior that was not known to be criminal at the time of commission; third, to so punish individuals would result in so many uncertainties that it would create great inefficiencies.
But where we are even in this democracy ?
Human rights in the democracy ;
Human rights are interdependent and indivisible; they encompass myriad facets of human existence including social, political, and economic issues. Among the most commonly accepted are:
-All people should have the right to form their own opinions and express them individually or in peaceful assemblies. Free societies create a “marketplace of ideas” where people exchange their views on any number of issues.
-All people should have the right to participate in government. Governments should create laws that protect human rights while justice systems enforce those laws equally among the population.
-Freedom from arbitrary arrest, detention, and torture — whether one is an opponent of the ruling political party, an ethnic minority, or even a common criminal — is a basic human right. A professional police force respects all citizens as it enforces the laws of the nation.
-In ethnically diverse nations, religious and ethnic minorities should be free to use their language and maintain their traditions without fear of recrimination from the majority population. Governments should recognize the rights of minorities while respecting the will of the majority.
-All people should have the opportunity to work, earn a living, and support their families.
-Children deserve special protection. They should receive at least an elementary education, proper nutrition, and healthcare.
-To maintain human rights, citizens in any free society need to be vigilant. Citizen responsibility — through a variety of participatory activities — ensures that government remains accountable to the people. The family of free nations is committed to work toward protection of human rights. They formalize their commitment through a number of international treaties and covenants on human rights.
All based on written by somone….
When is this old sucker GPK dying? Its proverbial truth that good men die early while scum of the earth live long. I look forward to this scum’s death so I can throw a big party, it’ll be a clean party, my hard earned cash.
Or why dont somebody assassinate this hag. I will offer my month’s salary to that guy as a gift.

Unveiling the future plans of the Ministry of Information and Communications (MoIC), Minister Mahara said the government would take concrete measures for the development of mass communications, government media, internet service, postal service, including others.
Minister Mahara said as per the plan, the government would set up at least one phone line in every polling booth by the time of the constituent assembly polls and also extend its support to the media to publicize about the constituent assembly polls.
“Since this is a transitional period we had some difficulty in determining the plans,” he said, adding, “but now we will do what it takes to materialize it. I am going to present it before the cabinet soon.”
He further added that as per the plan to install telephones in all remote villages, all 1007 Village Development Committees (VDC) which are yet to get connected by telephone will have a phone line within ten months. Mahara also expressed his commitment that the government would try to realize the slogan of ‘mobile sets in everyone’s hand and internet in every home’ in practice.
Mahara said the state-run telecom has already started reconstruction of the communication infrastructures destroyed during the decade-long armed conflict. nepalnews.com ag June 06 07
Pol Pot Prachande,
You are really a son of whore. That is why India is beginning to fuck your ass because of your belief in outdated maoism that is rooted in violence. It is crystal clear that you have no hold in terai. When sun rises in the morning, it is not necessary to gather together to find out whether it is day or night. Likewise, It is futile to discuss whether your YCL (YOUNG CRIMINAL LEAGUE) thugs are good or bad. Everybody knows that your YCL thugs are involved in murders, kidnapping, and brutal actions that are happening in kathmandu and other parts of Nepal. You lack vision because you are not well educated, and that is why you and your party will be extinct from the Nepalese political horizon before long like krishna sagar that became extinct from the forest of Terai.
Does anybody know when YCL is catching the killer of Pravin Gurung? Or had they been paid the price for keeping Parase free?
Yes when! And when are they going to catch the baby killers of myagdi, chitwan? Anybody knows? How about the killer of that labourer recently? How about the people who slit the journolist’s throat after binding him to a tree? Not to forget the couple of thousands political cadres killed point blank? When are the YCL going to catch them?
He Scope,
Who will catch murderer Prachanda and his maoist thugs who butchered thousands of innocent people?. we need to have at least one dozen incidents like that of Gaur to tame these f’king bastard maoists.
Interesting article on YCL. It seems the nation is going through desperate times.
YCL a notorious group is trying to get good press by catching crooks. Interesting.
I have to say if the cops do their job – wait let me take that back- if the cops are allowed to do their job without political interference all this fiasco would be unneccessary. I say allowed to because it is clear that the home minister jumps to the tune of the maoists and will not allow the cops to catch YCL thugs, so how can the cops do their job by allowing a bunch of criminals to go scott free and then on the other hand nabbing white collar crooks like Prasai? DO any of you see the problem here? Where are any of the YCL thugs brought to book? I have heard of everyone talk of so many of their criminal activities in and out of the media. Why are’nt any of them behind bars?
People here who go on about it being okay in this case and talk akin to one ganster killing another being alright and the ganster who murdered should be patted on the back for killing another murderer, even though this chap is a murderer himself!!!!!! Do you see something wrong with this logic? I certainly do.
He murderer Prachande,
You believe in outdated maoism that is rooted in violence. That is why India is beginning to fu’king your ass. when sun rises in the morning, it is not necessary to get together to find out whether it is day or night. Likewise, it is futile to discuss whether your YCL thugs are good or bad. It is crystal clear that your YCL (young criminal league) thugs are involved in abduction, murders, and various criminal actions that are happening almost everyday in Kathmandu and other parts of Nepal. You and your YCL thugs will be extinct from the Nepalese political horizon before long like the Krishna sagar that is becoming extinct from the forest of Terai.
To all Bhatua of Parsain:
I am sure you could not sleep well when he arrested and kept in police custody. But, do not worry. He will be released soon. Go there with flower and receive him when he releases. Your papa Girija will give order to release him soon. Go and greet on his feet. Don’t worry it is a duty of a criminal to bow to another criminal.
I am wondering why you guys are supporting Girija and company in this case? I guess you are also getting some portion of “haddi” when they throw away after eating flesh. You are right…you must be loyal to your master. I hope you will get good position in Girija’s government soon, at least to wash Girija putri’s under garments. Keep on boys!
YCL did fantstic job. everybody must support it. keep it up
Amanush:
I think after years of sticking your head up Prachanda’s as*s the smell has eradicated your already tiny brain thereby making it totally disfunctional.
No one here is supporting Girija you fcuking moron of a human being. What we are not supporting are these bandits/Dahkus called the YCL. Irespective of the fact that Sita Ram is a criminal, the YCL does not have any right to arrest him. First off you tell me why these bandits former Maoist combatants are not in the camps as per the peace agreement? Second off the YCL themslves are criminals – how can the blind lead the blind?
Let’s make a deal. Tell your YCL cadres to turn themslves into the police (because that’s where they belong) and we can all hold hands and proscecute Sita Ram and your YCL bum chums. How about that?
He another YCL thug Amanush,
You are not a good human being, that is why you call youself Amanush (means not worthy to be a good human being). If your YCL thugs are really interested in eradicating corruption and criminal activities, why can’t they stop murders, abductions, and robbery that are taking place almost everyday in Kathmandu and other parts of the country? you know what? they are the ones including you who are committing such crimes. Do you have any answer to this? They caught Prasain just to show that they are good people. I do not mean Prasain is not a corrupt person. He should be behind bars, but that does not mean that these YCL thugs like you are allowed to take law in your hands.
I don’t know which is worse. Both Prasai and the YCL are thugs. This is like a gang war, fighting over turf.
नाम पनि अमानुस !
बोली पनि अमानुस!!

Hi Nepali Janta,
I really like your writing style. Keep up your good work.
Hi Pol pot Prachande
you are going crazy because you know India is trying to kick out maoist thugs from the Nepalese political equation. There is a saying: Badar badi batho bhayo bhani gula chhapiyera marchha.
I am not a communist, but I still have a great respect for UML cadres. you know why? because they don’t resort to violence to fulfil their political goal unlike maoist thugs.
.. Well YCL may be the Criminals as u all say .. but they are the ones most active in the city .. they have been cleaning the streets, catching few criminals and then publishing it .. u may call it cheap publicity .. but i think other parties should join in and do the same .. I mean be active and do some thing positive.. Rather sitting there and complaining ..
Dewaz,
As claimed by you, YCL are doing good things by catching criminals. If they can catch people like prasain, how come they can’t catch criminals who are involved in robbery and kidnaping in Kathmandu? , and these crimes are taking place almost everyday. Actually, they are the ones who are involved in such crimes in Kathmandu. There is a saying: an elephant has two teeth, one to show and the other to eat with.
Good advice by Dewaz, other parties and groups should do work. But you have to understand if other parties do it, the YCL get pissed and start a fight. These goons do not even allow other parties to hold gathering and talks freely in the country side and you talk of his? This is the norm. They want to monopolise their criminal behaviour and the token sweeping of streets as well to cover up their activity. But the people cannot be fooled all the time.
It’s definitely a political stunt by the maoists to purify the tarnished image of their criminal outfit called YCL. Having said that Mr Prasain deserve to be behind bars but he definitely is not the only one deserve that treatment. There are thousands of criminals including the YCL boss Mr Prachanda for killing the innocent victims of their so called People’s War. The Madi bus bombing,the beheading of Dikendra Thapa, slaining of an innocent teacher,killing number of ordinary people in the name of informer, and the count goes on and on..
It’s highly unlikely of the intellectual Bloggers to fall into such a cheap stunt of them and start supporting them irrespective of their all the hieneous crimes of past and present. If you support a criminal for his somewhat rational work you must be held accountable for all his bad deeds as well,you and you only be responsible for encouraging these criminals to go on undetected doing whatever they want and believe me when they come to your house and thrashing you and your family , you better support them as well, good luck guys!!
Yes hope, we can make a list including Prasai:
Thge list can be short because goign after each and everyone is really time consuming and expensive. Just the bosses who ordered:
King, GPK, Prachanda,Baburam, Badal, MKN, Deuba, Goit, Jwala Singh, etc. for crimes agsainst the people and then the defaulters etc for economic crimes. If this can be done, anymore coming up is easy to tackle.
In a fight between wimps and barbarians, barbarians are going to win. So we must make sure that we are not wimps and be ready to fight SPAM warlords bullet for bullet.
One German writer wrote, when SS ( Hitlers YCL) came to get Communist, I did not care because I was not communist, when SS came to get Jews, I did not care because I was not Jew, When they came to get my Neighbour, I did not care becuase I was not him but when they came to get me there was no one to save me because everyone was thinking like me. The question is Sitaram Prasain is criminal or not it is about the due process of law, we know there is corruption and criminal negligence in part of government not to catch criminal when warrant has been issued but this does not give any right to YCL to kidnap him and do the justice themselves, they could have protested and gone to police to show where he is hiding or his location, this is the duty of every citizen but YCL themselves can not take law into their hand. This is how civilized society works. If we encourage this trend then YCL can brand anyone counter revoultionary and punish them or kill them which they have done in past where most of the people who does not share their view are termed SURAKI and wiped them or forced to flee. So each and every member should be worried about this development. Once the great judge has said that it is better to leave 100 criminal than to punish one innocent man. We should be more focused on making our court systme, police system better than to go for quick justice. Quick justice is path of totalitarian state which from Hitler to Stalin to Saddam Hussein followed and our dear comrade Prachanda is trying to emulate here.
We should ofcourse go after this shit called Krishnna Sitauala who should be fired for this situation. And interesting we have not heard anything about this matter from so called civil society or human right groups, ofcourse we will not hear from them becuase they will only shout when some Maoist or Maoist cause is hurt. It is better that they leave their mask and come out openely as Maoist because this is hurting real human right people and civil society which is supposed to be neutral and should monitor and condemn both side equally.
it was very funny last night to watch teacher Pushpa Kamal have a go at India just because India was saying that the best way out for Nepal is through co-operating between UML and NC. This moron, on one hand, wants us to believe that his doctrine us supreme, flawless, his party invincible and his move irrversible. ON the other hand teacher Pushpa Kamal gets ruffled by everything under the sun– king’s speech, dakshinkali visit, Moriarty, now India etc. That just shows how empty this guy is on the inside. Rather than worry about the meeting between Makune and Sardar Manmohan, Pushpa Kamal should be spending time preparing an explanation to the people of Nepal about whether or not his party has links with ULFA as was admitted by two of the ULFA leaders yesterday. He used ceremonial Baburam yetsrday to deny this charge, he has got to come out clean else he and his disillusioned terrorists communists gang (not a party) can start their walk back into the terrorist list.
Its sad fact- actually we are the main culprit. We let any dick and harry claiming to represent us. work for us, and speak for us sale us down the river and all we do if bark, bark and bark in futility.
I think spaM (spoiled people association headed by the maoist) will change Interim constitution 500 times before CA . At the end, CA will be cancelled. Our politics are being made laughable stuff by spaM not only to local people but also to international communities.
Funny isn’t it ???
YCL should not bother with their publicity stunt. If you don’t have good in you it’s never going to work. One or two days at most and this is what you get:
YCL thrashes UML leader, headmaster
Kantipur Report
GULMI, June 7 – Cadres of the Maoist youth wing, the Young Communist League (YCL), mercilessly beat up district committee member of the CPN-UML Tikaram Dhakal on Wednesday.
Some YCL cadres, who showed up at Purtighat Bazaar where Dhakal was distributing wages to road construction workers, took him away and beat him up badly.
According to Sheshkanta Gautam, another CPN-UML district committee member, Maoist cadres Givinda Nepali and Chhatra Bahadur Thapa who also claimed to be YCL members, took Dhakal to the house of one Tek Bahadur B K and beat him up.
Dhakal, who was seriously injured in the beating, was taken to Butwal for treatment.
According to locals, the Maoists are yet to allow Dhakal, who is also former VDC chairman of Harmichaur, to return to his village in spite of the Comprehensive Peace Agreement and formation of the interim government. He was displaced during the insurgency.
Meanwhile, issuing a statement, the CPN-UML in the district condemned the attack. “We expect the Maoists to improve their behavior and not mistake our restraint for weakness,” said the statement.
Headmaster too not spared YCL cadres led by some locals thrashed Ishwori Prasad Bhushal, principal of Gorlyangdham Lower Secondary School of Hoshrangdi VDC, on Tuesday night.
According to CPN-UML district committee secretary Bikash Lamsal, the YCL cadres led by two locals–Suresh Gurung and Dinesh Gurung–beat him up over a dispute concerning the building of a local roadway.
Bhushal was taken to Pokhara for treatment as his legs became dysfunctional following the beating.
Hi Everybody,
Great comments on YCL. It would be really nice and lesson for YCL if they could read this blog to improve their behavoir but don’t think those thugs having guts to read those 82 comments mostly against them. If any of them read those, then I am sure they will start invetigation against you people to find out the address and kidnap you and harass. but don’t worry they don’t have brain but just muscles with shit brain.
nothing to moderate in my comment if look at
be practical rather then technical
My post on the YCL goons thrashing a UML affiliated teacher is in moderation. But we can all check it ut on nepalnews.
My comment re this incidence was ALONG THE LINES OF why do the YCL bother with their publicity stunts if they cannot refrain from scratching their notorious itch for atleast a while?
By that logic all the Maoist leaders should be caught and put behind bars for all the killings that took place during the last few years. Can anybody explain when we have all the commissions to punish the guilty during King’s rule…who will punish the Maoits for causing so much blood shed….Maoists should not think that they are above law……another anadolan and these maoists chappies will be wiped off….dont test the patience of an ordinary nepali
Hardly any one comes in this blog to defend the Maoists’ actions and if some one comes, it comes a person like amanush. Is there dearth of intellectual bloggers in Maoists’ rank and file?
Also, this blog is dominated by pseudo-democrats people like Bhudai Pandit, who is royalist aristocrat or a bhardar by birth. Amanush and Pandit dirt this blog site by their foul language. How you others would like, if they both removed their dirty face out of this blog site?
MAN!!!!!!!what has happen to this blog site….isnt mr wagle seeing it?common ppl……dont use foul language…even mr.bhudai pundit…u seemed to be logical but now ure being a tyrant like mr-always-right….n seems like alot of ppl use this blog as their mental molestation place to just spit out their anger n so on against especially the maoist as i can see some post addressing prachanda as if he or someone close to he would read this…common this is a blog read by usual nepalis educated n u guys doesnt need to write in a way as if trying to prove that what u say is correct…just express ure views in some healthy manner…..open ure own blog if u want to have a place for ure mental molestation…..n can we have some really strong ban on those very very filthy words….comon u can express ure anger with at least some reasonable words though it would be better if u become reasonable…..i know we all are just really freaked out by what is happening all around…but just please dont lose ure sense man…cause if u lose it….ure also one of those jarheads n many ppl in this blog r showing that sign…u may enjoy by spilling out all ure verbal anger in such words for sometime…but in longer run it will do u guys more harm…anyways its upto u…MAY SOMEONE SAVE THIS NATION….thank you
I don’t know if this blog or anyone is following the issue of releasing the salary of the “PLA” in camps before verification? A precondition that should simply not be allowed. Why? Because the estimate is that half the “PLA” are minors or recruited after April 2006 – it’s just a way for the maoists to pay off the fake PLA as promised by them and send them packing off. Why should these recruits get this pay? Also, the deal was no more conditions and yet the govt. submits. Fine we don’t want to create more delays, but what if the UN says that the released salary should be given to the UN not the maoist rep. at this stage and the salary should then be distributed after each “PLA” individual verification? If they are in they get their pay, if they are out they go home without pay.
Another story which should be of interest is the Assam communist party story and setting up base in Nepal – why is this blog not writing on this – wakey, wakey!
Really shameless, how the royal Mafia is defending their white collar criminals and taking every event where drunken youth play fight as a justification to keep their grip on power.
Grija has really showed his corrupt face by bursting out loud as one of his relatives was victim of the hooligans of the YCL. He is protecting the Mafia as long as they pay to him.
Behind all this sits the king and grins. He is out of the frontline, his feetlickers are starting to fight with each other as they see the days of their unlimited illegal profit making finishing.
Nepal needs a big civil movement following the rules of nonviolence strictly to deeply change.
Maoists are deperate as their path of partly abandoning violence and all the bowing in front of the superpowers did not bring the wanted political acceptance, so they resort to the old concept of violence.
But the true devils are the ‘godkings’ and their criminal supporters who have kept Nepal undeveloped and illiterate as they were allowed to exploit.
You can fool some people sometimes, but not all the people all the time.
So you robbers, you corrupt white collar ‘business’men, you crawling politicians, do not expect the Nepali youth to be so easily fooled and cheated again. The longer you try to water down the true desire of the Nepali people for fundamental change the heavier the tsunami will come and wash you away.
Violence can only be overcome by nonviolence!
If Bhudai Pundit does not write here, I am not sure he can still survive or not but I am sure, this blog will be much better. Now it is like a grabage to keep all filthy words of this Bhudai Pundit. Best of luck UWB. I wish you have better blog than this grabage.
Mukti:
Please please don’t cry. I didn’t mean to offened you. I didn’t realize that you are not mature enough to deal with some bad words. You see, people like Amanhush deserve nothing less. There is somethings in this world that is just plain wrong. The YCL is one such thing. My bad words is the result of my frsutration and disbelief that literate people who can use the Internet can still support an outfit like the YCL. Anyway my apologies.
“So you robbers, you corrupt white collar ‘business’men, you crawling politicians, do not expect the Nepali youth to be so easily fooled and cheated again.”
HAHAHA the Nepali youth? The entire Nepali junta has been fooled again and again and again by the Maoists, the SPA, the King etc.
The Nepali junta are a bunch of sheep. The most useless, apatetic, indifferent junta in the world. Baida haru. What is the Nepali Youth going to do? Half have immigrated. The other half only know how to burn tires.
Mr. Pundit,
Look, a lot of how Juntas react depend on how the international community and media react. Myanmar has a military regime but if the ambassadors in myanmar act like the ambassadors here, i am sure that regime will not prosper for long. My point is we are being brainwashed by media, International community and the SPA (the maoists can stay out of this). It is not the youth that is burning tires but instead it is the SPA, the maoists, the indian embassy and so on. Once these interferences are defeated, we will move forward.
