Historic DC Rally of May 15, 2005: some resentment ---------Somnath Ghimire I wanted to let you all know the outcome feelings of the people who attended the Historic DC Rally. More than 80 percent of the DC Rally Demonstrators have the following queries: DC Rally became successful in quantity but not in quality. 1) What was the main agenda of the DC Rally? 2) Was it for the Pro-King, Pro-Democracy, Pro-Political Parties or for Opportunists? 3) Why Speakers were not sorted out? Why were they not given a certain boundary/topic to present in their speech? 4) If King Gyanendra suppressed the freedom of Speech in Nepal, why did not we do that to all Mandaless/King?s Supporters in their speech in the Rally? Why was Prem Raja Mahat given a chance to present his speech instead of singing a song? Is he a Pro-Democrat or Pro-King? 5) As it says in WWW.DCRALLY.ORG, DC Rally Committee, who are in the committee? Why the names were/are not disclosed? Or the committee without any names??..? 6) Was the DC Rally for launching ceremony of the book ?Broken Pen?? This was unknown to all of us. How did Murari Raj Sharma become the Chief Guest in the middle of the Program? 7) Why & How was Murari Raj Sharma given a title of the Commander of Democracy? 8) It was announced that, ?it?s raining now we have sorted our speakers including Sherpa?s?: Why we need to say that, demoralizing lower caste people, and we say that we need to be in diversity. Again, right after the rain stopped and Sherpa was called back to podium, what is this nonsense? As pointed out that T.Kumar of AI presented his speech under an umbrella, why not Sherpa? There were people from Tamang, Rai and Gurung as well. Where is the trend of respecting the all strata of life irrespective of all caste, color, creed, gender, origin, religion and nationality? 9) Why Murari Raj Sharma got half an hour time to present his speech and not others? Why did not we get the idea of ?INCLUSIVE? instead of ?EXCLUSIVE?? People were frustrated. 10) Why people from NJ, MA, RI, Maine, Ohio, and South Carolina were not given a minute to say their words of Democracy? As it was announced that every representative from each States will be given a chance to speak, and few got their chances including Girija Gautam, single man representing from Tennessee. Isn?t it a biased? 11) Why Nepalese Democratic Youth Council in USA became the platform for the Opportunist and the Pro-King People? Why and how the NDYCUSA is established? What is its aim? Why NDYCUSA is being used by Middle Ground People? Can?t NDYCUSA become in the Top Ground? We don?t need the second best; we need to be in the ?First Best?. 12) Why our people heard the words ?Shree Panch Maharaja Dhiraj? in the vote of thanks speech. Is this in favor of the King or against? Listen we are in the 21st century.
