Coolnepali, You have presented legit questions here. I don't think we are going to hear from the organisers who hide at the back end while giving a different front end, both of the ends seem to be operated by different softwares. I will attempt to guess my answers to your questions below in CAPS. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Got this from Samudaya website. Well said.. " 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? TO BE ON THE WINNING SIDE WHICHEVER WINS AT THE END. 2) Was it for the Pro-King, Pro-Democracy, Pro-Political Parties or for Opportunists? LAST ONE, OPPORTUNISTS. NOTHING NE OR SURPRISING. IT IS THE TREND GOING ON FOR LAST SEVERAL DECADES, IF NOT CENTURIES. OTHERWISE WE WOULD NOT BE IN A MESS WE ARE TODAY. 3) Why Speakers were not sorted out? Why were they not given a certain boundary/topic to present in their speech? IT IS THE MANAGEMENT THAT WE LACK, NOT THE TECHNICAL SKILLS. NOTHING NEW AGAIN IF WE SEE HOW FOREIGN AID IS MANAGED. NEARER AT HOME HERE, SEE HOW THE EMBASSY IS MANAGED AND THEN YOU GET A INKLING OF WHAT WE ARE. 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? SEE ANSWER # 1. 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? HE IS APPARENTLY THE CULTURAL ICON SPONSORED BY THE EMBASSY, PROBABLY MAHAT HIMSELF IS UNAWARE OF IT AND ALLOWING HIMSELF TO BE USED. HE IS BOTH JUST LIKE MANY HERE SAY THE SAME THING. THE POPULAR SAYING IS: I AM FOR THE PEACE, THEREFORE FOR THE KING. NONSENSE. 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??..? SAME BACKEND ANSWER. 6) Was the DC Rally for launching ceremony of the book "Broken Pen"? This was unknown to all of us. OPPORTUNISTS ARE EVERYWHERE. How did Murari Raj Sharma become the Chief Guest in the middle of the Program? AS THE SAYING GOES, RATS LEAVE FIRST WHEN THE SHIP STARTS TO SINK. HE HAS A LOT TO ANSWER TO. WHAT WAS HE DOING REPRESENTING US IN THE UN WHEN THE COUNTRY WAS AT ITS WORST IN HUMAN RIGHTS..WHAT DOES HE HAVE TO SAY ABOUT ???/WELL??? BETTER GO INTO OTHER BIG ISSUES??? 7) Why & How was Murari Raj Sharma given a title of the Commander of Democracy? WOW.... DEPENDS WHO ARE HIS REMOTES BACK HOME? WE NEED TO GET MORE OF HIS CREDENTIALS IN OPEN IN HE WANTS TO BE A PUBLIC LEADER. 8) It was announced that, "it's raining now we have sorted our speakers including Sherpa's": WHAT? ARE THEY TREATED AS ABONIMABLE SNOWMEN? IN MY VIEW, THEY STILL REMAIN AS NEGLECTED IN NEPALI POLITICS HERE IN KATHMANDU. 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? DAAL ME BAHUT HI KALA HAI. LOOKS LIKE THE RETURN OF THE PANCHAYAT DAYS WHEN THEY ENTICED A SMALL GROUP OF MANANGES TO CREATE HOOLIGANISM AT TUNDIKHEL DURING A PRODEMOCRACY MULTIPARTY GATHERING. NOT TO MENTION, THE MANAGES TOOK THE BEATINGS SOON AFTER AND THEY SPILLED THE BINS. 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? ABSOULUTELY. THESE PANCHAYAT BACKGROUND PEOPLE REMEMBER OTHER GROUPS ONLY WHEN THEY ARE IN TROUBLE. 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. WE NEED TO FURTHER SCRUTINISE HIM IF HE WANTS TO BE A DEMOCRACY LEADER. THOSE WHO ONLY TILL YESTERDAY WAS SINGING A DIFFERENT TUNE HAS SUDDENLY CHANGED THE TUNE FIRST NEEDS TO WASH THEIR SINS IN COLOURED WATER OF BAGMATI FIRST AND TELL US WHAT WERE THE ILLS OF THE SYSTEM AS AN INSIDER. 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? IT IS THE DC AREA MENTALITY AT DISPLAY. THE DEMONSTRATION SHOULD HAVE BEEN IN FRONT OF THE EMBASSY OR THE AMBASSADOR'S RESIDENCE, INSTEAD. 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". BEATS ME. 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." CAN'T BLAME THEM. MANY OF THEM ARE RAISED AND EDUCATED WITH THAT IN THEIR HEAD. FOR MANY, I SAY MANY BUT NOT ALL, THAT IS WHAT DEMOCRACY MEANS --REMEMBER THAT IS ALWAYS IN THEIR BACKEND OF THE BRAIN. COMMENTS: NOW THAT THEY HAVE CONCLUDED THEIR COLOURFUL RALLY IN DC, THEY MUST BE BUSY EXCHANGING THE PHOTOGRAPHS OF THE RALLY. I STILL HOPE THAT THEY WILL ANSWER COOLNEPALI'S QUESTIONS IN DETAILS. QUESTION: WILL THEY BE PROTESTING THE APPOINTMENTS OF THE EX ARMY GENERALS IN AMBASSADORIAL POSTS??? OR WILL THEY GO TO WELCOME THEM FIRST IN LINE....LET US SEE. WE WILL BE WATCHING!!!
