NC Unification Imminent! (Who Cares)

Deuba and Girija prepare for another pointless round of their worthless dance.

Nice to see Girija a Deuba finally tying the knot. We should expect an announcement of Party unification "any day now," or as we've heard over the past years: "imminently," "by Tuesday," and "in a few days."

These guys want to unify? Who cares? Nepal is falling apart. This moot gesture shows where all Nepali politicians' place their first priority: Solidifying their political positions.

Let's see:

1. Kapalvistu is on fire and on the verge of a regional conflict.

2. Maoists have quit the government.

3. Mahdesi concerns and Terai violence have yet to be addressed.

4. We are nowhere closer to holding election this November than we were 10 years ago.

So, blogdai thinks it makes perfect sense to consolidate political power over all. If this is all our new government can accomplish, then Jana Andolan was a waste of time and we are all puppets. Blogdai says this idiotic reunification will not happen. The only reason I see for reunification is so that Deuba can posture and threaten to split the party again. All one has to do is look at the history of this Nepali Congress dance of fools to see where we are headed.

Factional infighting brought down girija's NC in 1994 and a formal party split made it official in 2002. Sound familiar?

Girija and Deuba play the split/unification game as some sort of brink inducing game to gain political leverage. They care not about making a good government.

Remember what blogdai has said before: Girija has neither the talent nor the desire to unify anything!

Good and Bad

A little movement in both directions today. First the good: Nepalnews.com reports that students are uprising and urging the Maoists to stay in government. Nice. This is the first time we've seen enough spine from the students to actively go against their counterparts in the Maoists.

Fed up possible? Tired of Maoists that never ever keep a promise? Sure these kids are in lock step with Girija, but it still takes balls to call out a Maoist and demand they toe the line. blogdai hopes this is a new trend in student fearlessness.

Bad news: Muslims. Riots in Kapilvastu have brought out a stronger muslim voice in Nepal. This voice is demanding protection. blogdai fears that with this new attention there will come more interference from muslim groups in Pakistan and Afghanistan. Know what happens after that? War on terrorism crap, that's what. Muslim extremists bring out a new set of priorities in the world's diplomatic agenda. Their presence also has a tendency of attracting Yanks with guns. Let's hope we keep these people quiet and give them the security they need.

The only problem is that Girija wouldn't know how to assign and implement a security plan even if it were attached to a bribe from Lauda Air. He's hopeless. For god's sake, die already, old man.

Predictable Quitters

Can we finally call Girija and the mob incompetent idiots?

The Maoists have quit in front of the whole world and now there's nowhere to hide. Everyone can now see that Girija has neither the talent nor the will to unite anything.

Once again people, there is no government and no cooperation of any kind in Nepal.

Watch the media mishandle the whole story. The Times, in typical British laziness, has already fallen back on old cliches: blaming the whole thing on the King's birthday party., more or less.

No matter what you read, believe the following:

--The Maoists were NEVER a part of government and NEVER renounced violence.

--The Maoists used the government process to further their own agenda and gain insight.

--The Maoists never surrendered weapons of worth or negotiated in good faith.

--No regime in Nepal has been as autocratic as Girija's. He refuses to compromise or negotiate.

Blogdai's 3000

Well, actually about 3,400 as of last counting.

THE TIME HAS COME.

After quite an effort of gathering signatures and lists of prominent places, we here at blogdai are relieved to be through with the exhaustive effort of screening and verifying and are ready to submit our much touted, maligned, referred to, dismissed, praised, famous, infamous and much talked about LETTER.

For those of you who are new to the game, blogdai and 3400 of my closest friends and Nepal watchers are fed up with Maoists, Congress, Parliament and most officials named Koirala. To express this, we've constructed a letter to be sent to any relevant body stating our position. This campaign was initiated a few months ago (See: blogdai: Taking Back Our Voice) with the intent of building a groundswell of renewed participation in, and attention towards, the current political situation in Nepal.

Through the help of our vast readership, the LETTER has been tweaked, revised, edited and turned inside-out to arrive at the form presented to you in blue below. It reflects the language of our mass frustration and calls for very specific and strong measures that must be taken, in our opinion, in order to save Nepal from an inevitable downward spiral. blogdai submits:

To the Seven-Party Alliance and Maoist leadership

We, The Concerned Citizens and Friends of Nepal placed our trust in the Seven Party Alliance just over a year ago. It was our hope that the leadership entrusted with bringing Nepal into a new era of democracy and freedom through the Jana Andolan movement would use the spirit of last year’s demonstrations to re-introduce effective and competent governance to Nepal. Since that time we have been saddened to notice a return to the same style of ineptitude, corruption and political bickering that marked the previous 15 years under this same leadership.

Under your tenure of the past year, Nepal has begun to spiral downwards towards anarchy and the complete disregard for the rule of law; threatening not only Nepal’s sovereignty, but also the safe existence of the very citizens who entrusted you with their protection one year ago. It is because of this current untenable situation that we now must withdraw our support for your leadership and express our opinion of “no confidence” towards this Prime Minister and Parliament.

We also refuse to cooperate or give legitimacy to any force that uses brutality and coercion as a mean of furthering their agenda under the guise of restructuring Nepal. Be it Maoism or any other unbending ideology-based group, we further strongly object to welcoming such groups into government with their violent adherence to their own sense of ideological supremacy undeterred and unchanged by our constitutionally established rules for society.

We demand that Nepal’s Municipal Police Forces, Armed Police Force, Nepal National Army, or any legitimate national or international security force requested, begin operations that will directly lead to the restoration of law, order and peace in Nepal. These operations include but are not limited to: establishing the active presence of Army forces wherever possible, a commitment to fair adjudication of disputes and the active suppression and confiscation of all firearms displayed publicly by those not directly employed in Nepal's army, police or authorized security services.

Your failed leadership has contributed greatly to the present dire security situation in Nepal. As a result, we demand that an interim Government, composed of members from all major political parties lead the country until Constituent Assembly elections are held. Should these elections not be held as scheduled this November, it will be considered as a final confirmation of our “no confidence” opinion and result in our strong insistence that the Prime Minister and Parliament suspend operations and immediately refrain from further deliberations or acts of governance.

Concerned Citizens and Friends of Nepal

To give you just a bit of a sample of the types of places where our letter will surface, blogdai submits a partial list of sites to receive our LETTER. This is partial to prevent mass mailers from our numerous gremlins. This is about 10% of the total list:

(Nepal Monarchy and Nepal Army have “guest book” comments sections to which we shall submit individually)
feedback@mos.com.np, contact@nepalmonitor.com, editorial@thehimalayantimes.com, corporate@kantipur.com.np, :narayan@kantipur.com.np,prateek@kantipur.com.np,akhilesh@kantipur.com.np, subas@kantipur.com.np, kishorenepal@kantipur.com.np,pradumna@kantipur.com.np, finance@kantipur.com.np,kedar@kantipur.com., info@opmcm.gov.np,info@nepalembassyusa.org, info@cpj.org, info@nepembassy.org.uk,,, ,info@nepalconsulate.org.au,ne@nepalembassyegypt.com.,neberlin@t-online.de, britemb@wlink.com.np, info@nepalembassy.org.cn

Also, blogdai submits a sample of around 300 of our petitioner's names so as not to get too long-winded here. Sorry, e-mail tag names only. Even those have been shortened where necessary. Seems we have quiet a few devious posters here who would just love to get a hold of our lists. Sorry, spam someone else. We will submit full e-mail names to those official recipients who give verifiable names and requests. Independent verification by those with legitimate concerns can be accommodated. They MUST have an email address verified as coming from one of our selected recipients like those in green above.
