Kantipuronline headline: "Anyone who dares to underestimate Proclamation will face dire consequences: PM Koirala " What a democracy!! We have democracy... but you are still not allowed to speak your minds and/or express your opinions!! Don't you dare --- unless you want the wrath of Girija and the SPA including Maoist to harm you!! I am still cynical!!

I don't think anything's gonna change....Its just transfer of power from one d##khead to another.....new bottle, same old wine.....Power from one dictator to another...Just imagine what Girija might have done if he had Army under his control during his first tenure as a PM...remember, he took his majority party into the mid-term election?? !

लालपरी, गिरिजाले त्यो कस्लाई भनेको बुझेनौं? तिमी हामी जस्ता जनतालाई होइन; राजा, सेना, र राजाका भाटहरुलाई भनेको। षडयन्त्र गर्नुबाट खबरदार भनेको। 'कुरो बुझ्दैन, कुखुरोले मुत्दैन'

To me it looks like that those warnings were directed to King, Ragparishad members, Army Generals and other hard core supporters of absolute rule of monarchy in Nepal to respect the proclamation by HoR. They were not for commoners like you and me, though this is my personal interpretation.

Thank you for clarifying Chakku and Nut... I understand that now but not every lapari has Chakku and Nut to elaborate Girija's thoughts!! To make it clearer for those of us who are naive he should've probably said something like ..."To the enemy of the people, those who are against democracy, do not plot against the people or people will take drastic actions against you" Oh no ... that sounds more like the maoist ... oops!!

You wrote my interpretation in Nepali and both of us have similar interpretations, that’s all I could say Mr Chakku. Hajur ko Chakku ali badi dharilo po jasto cha! Anyway, good to read your sharp but succinct replies. Rajabadi ko ta Bolti bandha huncha tapai ko reply bata ta..sarai majja aucha ba...

raj, sena and "hard core" royal supporters chahi nepali hoinaannn ree?? power ko lobh taa sabblai huncha nii. if they want to proclaim the protest, they have fullll right to do so. ( i really wish they would not do though). khabardarrr ta kolllai pani bhannna paidaina nii. maobadi ko sarkar cha ni gam tira.. tya pani testtai garchan "khabardar, hamro maowad lai support garisnash bhane tero tauko katdincham". same thing. that is from a higher paradigm. personally, i am pleased with the recent progress. i can be wrong though.

My fear ... Nepal will be divided into three sections... Eastern Nepal --- maobadi, Western Nepa--- Maobadi, Central Nepal --- SPA where all the leaders of the parties will relax in some SPAs in Goa and people will suffer all around!! I am still not convinced that those 14 people died for the right cause!!

04/05/06 - 10/05/06 19th May, 2006 (Thursday) Parliament proclamation victory for 12 points with serious concern: Prachanda By Bhola B Rana Kathmandu, 19 May: Hours after the historic announcement of parliament stripping the powers of the King Thursday, Prachanda said the proclamation was a victory of the 12-point understanding between the ruling seven party alliance and Maoists. "Our party welcomes it and supports as a victory of the 12-point understanding and the Nepal people's historic movement," the statement said. In a cautious welcome, Prachanda whose party is demanding a republic, said: " But the declaration has attempted to address the people's desire of ending monarchy by politically limiting to a ceremonial role." Prachanda noted the 12-point agreement was not mentioned in the declaration giving rise to suspicion only the SPA was attempting to take credit for the April movement. "The proclamation does not, on the whole, address the needs and aspirations of the people," the rebel strongman said. "The silence on peace talks as a solution to the serious problem of a decade-old civil war has given rise to a serious suspicion," he said. Published reports said Friday Chief of the Army Staff Gen Pyar Jung Thapa met with Prime Minister Girija Prasad Koirala before the proclamation was announced. Details of what transpired at the meeting was not known. Some schools in the capital observed a holiday Friday to celebrate the parliament announcement. People’s News/BR -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- India keeping watch New Delhi, 17 May: India will talk to the new government in Nepal on all security related issues including ISI activities, Lok Sabha was informed on Wednesday, Times of India reports. Minister of state for external affairs E Ahamed said during question hour that the new government in Nepal had the support of Maoists. He said the Nepalese government had assured India that they would not allow any anti-India activities, including those of ISI, from their soil. Ahamed said the government was aware of contact between Naxal groups and Nepal's Maoists but denied any operation linkages between the two. ' India has consistently called for the process of general dialogue between constitutional forces of Nepal to find a peaceful solution to challenges facing the country, including the Maoist insurgency," the Minister said. He said India has been closely following events in Nepal arising out of the movement for the restoration of multiparty democracy there, which rapidly gathered momentum in April 2006. People’s News/BR -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Parliament declares itself supreme authority; declares all clashing constitutional provisions ultra vires [Has more details on the provisions in the parliament proclamation] By Bhola B Rana Kathmandu, 18 May: Parliament unanimously passed a resolution by voice vote a House of Representatives Proclamation -2063 that empowered it with supreme authority. The nine-point proclamation with sub-clauses declared all provisions in the 1990 constitution that clash with the declaration ultra vires. RPP chairman Pashupati SJB Rana who supported the proclamation called his party the opposition, said his party was not consulted while preparing the historic document. "This is the dictatorship of the majority," Rana said before foreign diplomats who were present at parliament Friday. The declaration now declares Nepal a secular state. The position of the supreme commander-in-chief of the Royal Nepal Army, now called the Nepal Army, has been abolished. The chief of the army staff will now be appointed by the government and will be responsible to the prime minister who heads the national security council. All executive authority is now vested in the council of ministers. Royal Palace officials have been incorporated into the government civil service. NC(D) chairman Sher Bahadur Deuba supporting the proclamation said," I'm the happiest man." Surya Bahadur Thapa of the Rashtriya Janata Party said," The declaration is the need of time." Ailing Girija Prasad Koirala couldn't read out the proclamation which was read out by Speaker Subash Newang. But Koirala who was led to the podium read out a prepared statement warning people and institutions not to challenge the proclamation which the attorney general has said does not have legitimacy. "Anybody who minimizes or attempts to will not be spared," Koirala warned. "The proclamation makes the people sovereign." The proclamation will be valid pending the announcement of another arrangement. Parliament was adjourned until Monday.

Folks, That threat was for these people, read the article below, Specially the second paragraph Nepal Army concerned Kantipur Report KATHMANDU, May 19 - A hot discussion took place at Nepal Army Headquarters Thursday after army top brass realized that the house declaration would not secure King's role as supreme-commander-in-chief of the army and his power of selecting heir to the throne would also not be left intact. An army general said Army Chief Pyar Jung Thapa met Prime Minister Koirala before the declaration was tabled in the parliament. Army top brass had been assured that the two provisions would not be changed by the House declaration. After realizing that those provisions too would be scrapped, a serious discussion occurred between pro-palace army officials and the moderates. However, the army generals ruled out any probability of a military revolt over the issue.
