I am little bit disappointed with the response by John_Galt, sajha celebrity writer/story teller and someone whom I personally admire, though he has every rights to express his mind and to interpret the protester and their present movement for Loktantra as well as the drive by MAHA and others to collect fund for the injured who can not afford treatment. First of all, the present movement is not Netaj’s movement, it is people movement, this is my movement, this is your movement, and this is our movement. And this movement has already achieved huge support from Nepalese inside and outside of Nepal as well as from international communities. It has calumniated greater heights and has reached a “pre-revolutionary state” as acknowledged by American Ambassador to Nepal on his recent interview to CNN. You can not give benefit of doubt to Gayne assuming that this is a “political stunt” and “The metamorphosis is same, we have witnessed it before”. For example, the power of ballot has been shown in Indian state of Bihar where history was made, Laloo raj has been ended. And this was made possible with the implementation of electronic voting. We can learn from them to exercise our competitive multi-party politics. We don’t need autocratic king to tell us how to exercise democracy. May be you were disappointed with the corruption, lack of effective governance, nepotism and favoritism during last 10-12 years of party politics. But this is not specific to Nepalese leaders, this is rampant among Indian, Pakistani, Chinese, Korean and more over American and European governments too. Former Indian PM Narshima Rao has served jail sentence, Banijir and Nawaj Sarif were jaliled for the charge of corruption. Rajeev Gandhi was accused off for corruption in Boffors scandal in India. They have corrupt PMs even after 40-50 years of experience with the democracy. In the process, they have developed mechanism and ways with in the framework of constitution to punish even (ex) PMs. And our politicians have learned from that and they have passed bills in the parliament to strengthen “Akthiyaar”. This was very positive move. Well, you may argue was it sufficient and effective, I would say it may not be but things were moving in the positive directions and this is possible only in multiparty democracy. What I mean by all this is that there are several ways to correct party politics and punish corrupt and inept leaders through election within party and elections at local and National level making strong and independent regulatory bodies like “Akthiyaar”. Certainly, this is not quick fix thing, especially in the context of Nepal. “This is a political stunt which pays off well again.....the deceased in Kalanki (may he rest in peace, but that was his call) will soon be forgotten by madhav Nepal and Girija Koirala just like we forgot Pamfa devi and Lauda air issues.” “The metamorphosis is same, we have witnessed it before, and I feel no pain or guilt or happiness in what is happening at the moment, we are repeating history again, this is all so much in the norm.” In a serious note, you may not and can not remain nonchalance or more precisely ignorant to those who were and are being killed and injured in the present movement by saying that “that was his/their call”. To me it sounds like a bit of insensitive remarks to this and other martyrs. I don’t think they went there to be killed, I think, they were there to get their fundamental rights, the “Loktantra”, rights to govern by themselves. Also, I am surprised to hear from you that you don’t feel pain when protesters are being killed and permanently disabled (those who survive the injuries) by indiscriminate firing from the automatic rifles with live ammunition. I am quite sure that you are aware of the measures that security officers have to take to restrain unruly but unarmed-protesters. How can you justify the use of Insas and M-15 riffles to indiscriminately fire on protesters? They are not Maoists. Anyway, these are my very personal views on your remarks, hope you would not get offended by my comments.
