Ashu Beaten Up

In Sajha.com, Guchha represents Maoist cadres and Maoist related trade union members as a sample. Nepal is now passing through this kind of trend, more precisely: "Opponent cleansing." In recent days, Ashu seems to be one of the victims of Maoist and Maoist related Trade Union's atrocities.

The Maoists are trying to clean up their opponents whom they introduced a new phrase, "Abashes of Feudal System." They are now trying to follow the following four steps to remove those who are not in their side:

1. First, use Carrots. Communists are best in using hot cake words or speech to attract the people who are emotional driven and easily swayed by illusions and skin deep issues. I will count Anil Pandey as a sample, Anil met Prachanda for 30 minutes or so (based on his blog at Sajha.com), and changed his stance / position in just 30 minutes. Now, he is one of the biggest supporter of Prachanda in Sajha.com, and defends that Maoists are the best. Look at what Maoists are trying to do in Nepal. They have 46 Ministry level secretaries, and they are replacing the earlier set with their own chamchas, and pushing old set to useless jobs to guarantee their aims and goals. They are reshuffling 63 CDOs, and they are distributing 3.6million rupees at village level cadres where they don't have any checks. Anil, grow up man! Don't get swayed by 30 minute chat, and if you do so, then you will support Chavez if you listen to his 1 hr speech in UN, and I doubt you have any firm belief and position to defend democracy. People like Ashu are bleeding because of rhetorical blogs, and flip flopping actions.

2. Stick or threat as second level method. Ashu is paying the price for firing 30 employees. Maoist trade unions must be using their second level tricks to influence Ashu. In current scenario in Nepal, where the current wave is on Maoist side, I wonder whether Ashu can stick to his action or forced to reinstate some of these 30 employees that he fired recently in the final show down. Who will speak on behalf of Ashu? Capitalist (in the eye of Maoist) egg head, right? Elitist, because he has a degree from Harvard.

3. Extortion / warranty / death threat: The recent attack on Ashu's car with 2 or multiple bricks is an attempt to warn him using threats / intimidation.

4. Hijack / kill / torture just the way Ram Hari Shrestha got the final result for resisting Maoists threat and intimidations. Finally, the guy "Bibidh" who was involved in killing was in CDO office with the Defense Minister (Where is Anil Pandey?). Was he caught? How can you connect this dot in Ashu's case? No one will be caught. Either Ashu's family will pressurize him to leave the country or Ashu will compromize with these "trade unions" or "give up the current position and switch the organization" or will be another Ram Hari Shrestha. I am worried about him and his life. Well, Ashu might say to us, don't worry. But, there were several Ashus who were attacked, intimidated, and tortured, and ultimately, either they left the country or they did what the Maoists want. Now, the country is run by Maoists, and if Bibidh can walk in CDO office with the Defense Minister, and Police can do nothing but just watch him walking in broad day light, what can you expect on Ashu's behalf? I doubt whether you can be a different Ashu or not? How long?
