Here are my questions to the Rally organisers: Where were you when the politicians, bureaucrats and sundry were snatching money day in and day out that was to be used for sick children and mothers in Nepal? Were you not part of the group that went to welcome and garland the corrupt leaders and praised them to sky high when they individually visited the US as recently as in January 05? Where were you hiding your face in these free dinner and cocktail parties when the Embassy in Washington DC and the UN Mission in New York were holding parties after parties, flowing kholo of alcohol, in the pretext of democracy day, King?s birthday, etc., when the country was literally begging for money from the foreign countries? Did you not protest when 20,000 girls are lured and forced to spend a hellish life in Indian brothels yearly due to lack of school education and employment opportunities in Nepal? Where was your protest rally when Surya Bahadur Thapa was re-appointed as the PM who was responsible for mass deforestation in Nepal during the Panchayati era? Where was your protest rally when the World Bank, at the behest of corrupt Education Ministry within Kaiser Mahal, spent over 100 crores of rupees allegedly for basic primary school education of village children who otherwise would not have access to education but the result was that less that 10% of the target was achieved while the money was siphoned out by those corrupt politicians and bureaucrats in Kathmandu? Where was your protest rally when the innocent villagers are killed by the Royal Nepal Army in the pretext of suspecting them of being the Maoist informers? Where is your protest rally when the Maoists are killing the innocent people on a daily basis and many of the villagers are displaced? Where was your loud protest when a large overhead water tankful of cash was found in a former minister's house? And now, I learn that you are bringing Sujata Koirala to pollute the rally??? Please ask her to answer these questions: In which passport she traveled to the US? How much income tax she has paid yearly? What are the sources of her income of her high living in Nepal? How many corrupt scandals did she indulge in while her father was the PM? As an extra constitutional authority, how many ambassadors she was responsible for appointing while her father was the PM? These seem to be of personal type of questions but knowing that she is out as a political person, she needs to be accountable to the public first. I think she is number one source of GP Koirala?s trouble which was transferred to bear the entire country. I think the rally organizers have a lot to answer for than getting their statements and photos in the Nepal newspapers. There are people when their sources of benefits are disrupted, then they will protest. As soon as these illegal benefits are restored, the rally or protest will fizzle out. Of course, these are serious charges but answer these first as serious questions. I am not a supporter of the King nor the supporter of a leader or a political party or a movement. I am just for restoration of the democracy but not the type that we have seen in the last 14 years. The same characters looming around, we have doubts whether they will do anything good for the country even if they are given the chance again for the 5th or 6th times. Need I say more????
