फेब्रुअरी १ को शाही-कदमको समर्थनमा डी. सी. र न्यूयोर्क मा केही पुराना राजावादीहरु, केही नवराजावादीहरु र केही आफु राजावादी नभएको तर बहुदलिय प्रजातन्त्रबाट मोहभंग भएको भन्ने शान्तिकामीहरुले गरेको ससाना प्रदर्शनलाई उनिहरुले "हजारौंले भाग लिएको विशाल पदर्शनहरु" भनेर नेपालको सरकारी संचारबाट प्रचार गराए ।

आजसम्म पनि नेपालबाट साथीसंगीहरु सोध्ने गर्छन्, के साच्चै अमेरिकाका सबै नेपालीहरु राजाको कदमको समर्थन गर्छन ?

र यस्तो प्रश्न मलाई मात्र होईन मैले कुरा गर्न पाएका लगभग सबै अमेरिका-सहवासीहरुलाई नेपालका उनिहरुका आफन्तहरुले सोध्ने गर्दा रहेछन् ।

भनेसी प्रोपेगाण्डा कार्यमा अमेरिकाका राजावादीहरुले क्षणिक नै सही तर ठूलो उपलब्धी हासिल गरेछन् ।

प्रोपेगाण्डाको लागि सरकारी मात्र हैन गैरसरकारी माध्यम समेत प्रयोग गरे आयोजकहरुले । 'नेपाली टाईम्स' मा एकजना आयोजक महोदयले डी. सी. को प्रदर्शनलाई 'बहुसंख्यकहरुको प्रतिनिधित्व' (majority representation) भनेर दावी गरे । स्वतन्त्र माध्यमबाट गरिएका यस्ता पुटले 'राजमुकुट प्रति प्रतिबद्ध' सरकारी माध्यमहरुले गरेको प्रचारका अविश्वसनियतालाई कम गरे हुनन् ।

एनिवे, "के साच्चै अमेरिकाका सबै नेपालीहरु राजाको कदमको समर्थन गर्छन ?" भन्ने नेपालका आफन्त संगीसाथीहरुको प्रश्नको उत्तर दिंदा दिंदा हैरान हुनु भएका प्रजातन्त्रप्रेमी साथीहरु डी. सी. को नजिक हुनुहुन्छ भने यही Sunday, May 15, 2005 का दिन White House अगाडि हुने Pro-Democracy Rally मा पाल्नुहोला ।

नेपे जरुर उपस्थित हुनेछ त्यहाँ तपाईहरुसंग न्यानो अभिवादन साटासाट गर्न ।

We few students were planning to participate on the PRODEMOCRACY rally but we feel betrayed when we came to know that SUJATA is going to be called on stage. We are for democracy, peace and of course political stability. We don?t want to be @#$% ing ?Rajnatik GOTI".

I will not stand together with any corrupt leader who is responsible for this mess. I urged every Nepali NOT to attend any rally with Sujata Koirala and show our solidarity how much we hate our corrupt leaders.

I am fustrated with political system. I equally hate Maosit, King and Political parties. I dont know why I am ####ed up.

I had tried to verify the news and source of information with the journalist. Now that it's been taken care of, we have ample proof what and Who are these foreign 'concerned' media. They are as good as our very own cheap tabloid newspaper reporters.

And shame on Amenesty internation. A such a influetial and prominent body being affiliated with SUJATA.

And now moving to the finer points, do they rally people ahve a lsogan against corrupt politicians and maoist? Are they not responsible for the situation. Gyane, politicians and maoist are, what Bush would call " axis of eveil" for Nepal. So, you guys have a right chance to condemn Sujata IN HER PRESENCE. Do you guys have GUTS? Are you guys what you guys claim to be? SHOW US. Condemn ppl like SUjata in fron of her. She has been directly responsible along with others for raping democracy and freedom.

Or else, DO NOT DO NATAK BAJI. If you can not condemn sujata ( for POONTE< NEPE< HOM ACHARYA, MURALI JIU ( HAJUR LAI YEUTA MSG CHA), forget about throwing GYANE out of Narayanhiti. MUSA SANGA DARAUNE BAGH MARNE DHAKK bhaneko jastai huncha. LA HERUM KATTI KO HIMMAT CHA. This is your chance, show us that you guys are TRUELY a concerned Nepalese.:)

प्रजातन्त्रमा आफ्नो आवाज उठाउन सबैको समान हक हुन्छ। राजाको समर्थनमा ?याली निकाल्नेहरुका आफ्नै कारणहरु थिए र अहिले बिरोधमा जुलुस निकाल्नेहरुका पनि धेरै बैधानिक कुराहरु होलान। एकले अर्काको खिल्लि नउडाईकन पनि ति आवाज सुनाउन सकिन्छ भन्ने मेरो अनुमान हो। जतिसुकै राजावादी भनेर सुगा रटाई गरे पनि एउटा निश्पक्ष सोचाई राख्ने मान्छेले दुबै पक्षका जायज कुरा बुझ्न सक्छ। राजाको समर्थनमा जेस मोहन श्रेष्ठ (आई. जी. पी. कृष्ण मोहन श्रेष्ठ का भाई) जस्ता माओवादी पीडितहरुको उपस्थिति थियो जसका दाजु भाउजुको निर्मम हत्या गरियो र चैनपुरको २ वटा घर बम हानेर ध्वस्त पारियो। कसैलाई सुजाता कोईरालाको प्रजातान्त्रिक हक महत्वपूर्ण छ भने कसैलाई बांच्न पाउने हक।

yeah, this is what I have been insisting. people can be pro-monarchist, pro-parties and pro-maoists but being democractic means you come to accept them without ridiculing their beliefs by saying you are on the wrong side of history to be supporting this/that as if history has taken a physical form and standing there handing out prizes to people who are on its side and punishing those who are not on its side.

People have their own reasons to be either supporting or not supporting various rallies and everything that's been going on in Nepal and elsewhere, and this is what we need to udnerstand. I am not against this rally. At least the Nepali diaspora in America will be able to make its presence felt, if nothing else.

Dear Nepe and Punteji,

I think we have resolved the issue of Sujata's participation in the rally. Now let's focus on making the rally a big success.

Any people who supports democracy and civil liberties in the country will now come to participate in the rally. Those who are hell bent at supporting dictatorship will never come to the rally no matter how many times we defend about the Sujata stuff. For others, the healthy discussion between us have erased the controversy , so this will help for our cause more than creating problems. This is what democracy is all about as Poonteji said. The concerns that Sujata might exploit the oppurtunity is now resolved and there's no more arguments needed to defend our cause. NOW LET'S MAKE SURE THAT PEOPLE WON'T RAISE FINGERS AT US IN THE END OF THE PROGRAM ON SUNDAY.

सुजाता विवाद टुङ्गो लाग्यो ।उनलाई कार्यक्रममा कुनै प्राथमिकता दिइने छैन। अब ढुक्क भएर प्रजातन्त्र र नागरिक अधिकारको पक्षमा ऐक्यवद्धता जनाउन लाफायत पार्कमा जम्मा होउँ । यदि सुजातालाई वकालत गर्ने मौका दिइयो भने त्यहिं तत्कालै विरोधको आवाज वुलन्द गर्न नसक्ने हामी छैनौ। त्यसैले आउँदो आइतवार पूर्ण प्रजातन्त्र, नागरिक अधिकार र प्रेस स्वतन्त्रताको पुनर्वहालीको माग गर्न वाशिंगटन, न्यूयोर्क (निशूल्क बस सेवा उपलब्ध छ) र निकटवर्ति क्षेत्रमा वस्नुहुने सम्पूर्ण नेपाली दाजुभाई दिदीवहिनीहरु लाफायत पार्कमा दिउँसो साढे १२ बजे भेला होउँ। निरंकुश राजतन्त्र विरुद्ध विरोधको नारा घन्काउँ, भ्रष्टहरुको उछितो काढौं र गलत काम गर्ने नेताहरुलाई हाशियार रहन चेतावनि दिउँ। त्यसबाहेक नेपाली- नेपाली मिलेर नाचगान र मनोरंजन गर्ने कार्यक्रम पनि राखिएकोले यसको छुट्टै महत्व छँदैछ।

ल त अब हाम्रो भेट लाफायत पार्कमा आइतवार दिउसो साढे १२ बजे। त्यतिन्जेल सम्मका लागि यो थ्रेडबाट विदा चाहन्छु, नमस्कार।

दोधारेजी,

म आयोजक होईन एउटा सहभागीको हैसियतले तपाईको अनुरोधहरुमाथि दुई संक्षिप्त टिप्पणी गरुँ है ?

१. अमेरिका र नेपालको अन्तर के भने, अमेरिकी सेना we the people का प्रतिनिधीप्रति constitutionally जवाफदेही र वफादार छ, तर नेपाली सेना His own majesty प्रति extra-constitutionally वफादार छ । अहिले त झन् ठ्याम्मै राजाको private army भएको छ । Feb 1 का दिन राजाले सैनिक विद्रोह गरेका हुन् । हुन त दुई वर्ष अघिको असोजकाण्ड पनि सेनाको वफादारीकै आडमा गरेका हुन्, राजाले ।

त्यसैले support our troop भन्नमा किन्चित हिचकिचाहट हुन्छ । अब Human rights record को त कुरै नगरम ।

सेनाले माओवादीलाई खतम गर्न नसकेको र गर्न नसक्ने (सैनिक सहायता दिने अमेरिका र भारतको समेत यही ठम्म्याई छ) कारण नै जनताले support our troop नभनेर हो । जुन दिन नेपाली जनताले support our troop भन्छन्, त्यो दिन माओवादीहरु तासको घर झै गर्ल्याम गुर्लुम लड्नेछन्, शंकै छैन ।

त्यसैले नेपाली जनतालाई support our troop हृदय देखि नै भन्न वाध्य पर्ने वातावरण तयार गर्न पट्टि लागुम होला ।

२. म राजालाई ३ वर्ष हैन ५ वर्ष त्यो पनि फेरि फेरि नविकरण गरेर ५x३?=१५ वर्ष राज्य गर्न दिन तयार छु । कुरा के भने उसले हाम्रो जनादेश पाउनु पर्छ पहिले त्यसको लागि । जनादेश बेगर राज्य गर्न त ३ नानोसेकेण्ड पनि नाई ।

३. बहुमत, बहुदल, विविधता जीवनका शास्वत सत्य हुन् । नेपाली प्रजातन्त्रको समस्या बहुमत होईन, बरु त्यसको अन्तिम निर्क्यौल गर्ने सम्पूर्णाधिकार जनतामा निहित नहुनु हो । राजालाई त्यो अधिकार सुम्पेर समस्या समाधान हुने होईन, बरु अझ चर्किन्छ । मुलुकमा के भईरहेको छ, देखिरहनु नै भएको छ ।

So,

Power to the People
Loyalty to the People
Let the People Decide

Nepe

I guess the people who are organizing this event are blindsided to the fact that POLITICIANS in NEPAL are champions of Hijacking gatherings like this(I DON'T THINK ALL THE PEOPLE THAT HAVE GIVEN THEIR LIFE FOR FREEDOM IN THE PAST WOULD HAVE NEVER THOUGHT NEPAL WOULD BE IN THE STATE IT IS TODAY.) don't trust NOBODY,

I still don't see the purpose of this gathering. Ok for democrasy for who ? for people who cannot even aford a decent meal a day ? Its great to have ideals..but at the same time you should think about the practicality of things. Give them food and jobs to survive first then we will talk about personal freedom and democracy(what happens to a an army that runs out of supplies ?)

why are the Royalist chamche's scared of this rally?

Its just a rally to support democracy. It has nothing to do with the politicians or sujata or the army or the police.

Its a voice to restore democracy in Nepal.

Do you believe there is any democracy in Nepal? You people? Those of you who want to live under a tyrant, please make an effort to go back to Nepal and parise your Raja.

Those who want democracy working in Nepal can influence democracy from here as well.

kisr,
I would love to join a rally that supports democracy. However, this rally is not all about supporting democracy. I have a feeling that kisr ji didn't read the entire petition letter to Mr.Bush.

Yes, yes, we need democracy. Once we have that, we will elect leaders of the kinds like, Girija, Madhav Nepal, Sher Bahadur, and they will in return screw us all like before, and then again, in another 15 or 20 years we will again be somewhere outside of Nepal (since we are gutless and opportunists to go back to Nepal to make any changes), organizing the same kind or rally; may be at that time it will be againts the Maoists. It's a never ending cycle.

Dodhare-jyu,

Unlike many anti-rally friends here in Sajha, you have raised some very valid issues with utmost civility and sound reasoning. I have a lot of respect for you for that. Here is my case against some of the points that you've raised, with the hopes of merely continuing the debate.

You have chosen to juxtapose America's "Support Our Troops" phenomenon with that of supporting the RNA intheir fight againt terrorism. Like Nepe has poitned our, dhodhare-jyu, RNA is far, far less accountable to the public than their American counterparts. The command structure which squarely puts the US Armed Forces strictly under elected civillian government is simply non-existent in RNA's case. Furthermore, despite many problems the US soldiers have with regards to human rights violations, and I know some of them go unnoticed, US Armed Forces are under far more stringent scrutiny than the RNA soldiers are. There have been numerous cases of US soldiers being convicted and severely punished for their crimes whenever they have ben found guilty. One of the soldiers found guilty in Abu-Ghraib scandal, for instance, for merely beating a prisoner with a rifle butt was court marshalled and sentenced to 2 years in jail. Compare that to a Nepali major founf guilty of KILLING 19 unarmed prisoners at point blank range was sentenced to merely 9 months in prison, with no court marshall. It is this culture of being open to greater publci scrutny that makes the US Armed Forces far more respectable, hence "supportablke for Americans" than our RNA soldiers.

Furthermore, RNA is not even close to being clean when it comes to corruption, nepotism, classism, casteism, etc. that plagues any other political institution in Nepal per se. The scale of corruption within the RNA is far more dangerous both in terms of size and in terms of almost complete impunity they enjoy. The bottom line is, dhodhare-jyu, respect and support are GAINED, not commanded. American soldiers have by and large gained that respect from many American citizens, while RNA has been simply demanding it from us. That simply can't happen.

Also, please take note of the fact that there are many other Americans who choose not to support the cause of war and are at free will to voice their opposition to their soldiers being used for causes that do not conform to their beliefs. Ironically, it is this willingness to accept differences and the openness to respectful disagreements -- basically freedom to disagree -- that ultimately unites the Americans. In other words, unity cannot be achieved through coercive commands; rather, unity is far more feasible and stronger when it comes from DEMOCRATIC principles of freedom of choice. Americans who suuport the troops and those who don't are ultimately profoundly binded in unity because they have the choice, they have the freedom, and they know they can disagree.

Specially in a multi-ethnic, pluralistic society like ours, I cannot fathom a true, genuine and strong unity unless we encompass the principles of liberty in our social structure. The more we demand unity without first intriducing ALL INCLUSIVE policies, the further divided we will be.

Divisions and threats to unity come NOT from differences in opinions and choices, but from the unwilingness to accept, cherish and respect those differences.

If you happen to go to that rally, be sure to represent these poor folks. Don't just go there "to see and to be seen".

पुन्टे ज्यू,

तपाईका बिचारहरु एकदमै प्रष्ट छन्। चाहे हस्यौली ठट्यौली होस या गहन विषय होस, म तपाईका बिचारहरुबाट प्रभाबित छु र म तिनको श्रद्धा गर्छु। तपाईको प्रजातन्त्र प्रतिको निष्ठा अटल छ र म पनि आफूलाई प्रजानतन्त्रवादी नै ठान्छु। तर हाम्रा सामु बिगतमा यति धेरै घटना घटेका छन कि तिनको निर्क्योल निकाल्न एकमात्र बाटो सही हो भन्ने सहमतमा हामी छैनौ। बस, फरक यति मात्र हो।

नेपाली सेना र प्रहरीको बारेमा तपाईका बिचार सही छन्। तर एउटा तीतो सत्य के हो भने तिनीहरुले सबैको कार्यकालमा लडेका छन गिरिजादेखि देउवा र राजासम्म। ति संस्थाहरुमा ब्यापक परिबर्तन हुनु जरुरी छ भन्ने मैले पैले पनि लेखेको छु। तर जिम्मेवार पार्टी तथा नेताहरुले उनीहरु प्रति आफ्नो हेराई स्पस्ट बनाउनु पर्छ। ताक परे तिवारी नत्र गोतामे को शैली अलिक ठीक भएन। माओवादीहरुसंग लड्न प्रहरी र सेनाको प्रयोग गरेको हाम्रै प्रजातान्त्रिक नेताहरुले हो। उनीहरुको लागि विदेशी सहयोगको माग गरेको पनि उनीहरुले नै हो। त्यो सहयोग रोक्नु पर्छ भन्ने पनि उनीहरु नै। माओवादी समस्या यथावतै छ र युद्ध जारी नै छ। राजाको कदमको बारेमा बहस गर्न सकिन्छ तर त्यसको जिम्मेवारी सुरक्षा निकायलाई दिन सकिन्न। त्यसैले राजाको विरोध खुलेर गर्नोस तर असर सुरक्षा निकायमा हुनु हुदैन। सुरक्षा संरचना कमजोर हुनु भनेको देश कमजोर हुनु हो। सुरक्षाकर्मीहरुलाई परिवर्तन गरी सही दिशामा ल्याउन उनीहरु प्रतिको हेराईमा पनि परिवर्तन आउनु पर्छ भन्ने मेरो भनाई हो।

तपाईको एउटा लेख पढेको थिए कान्तिपुरमा जहां राजा एउटा शक्ति हो भनेर तपाईले भन्नु भएको छ। म पनि त्यो कुरामा विश्वास गर्छु। त्यस्तै माओवादी पनि आजको एउटा शक्ति हो। प्रजातन्त्रवादीहरु त झन ठूला शक्ति थिए र आज त्यो शक्ति उनीहरुले कति कमजोर पारे भन्ने हेक्का मलाई छैन। तर समयले त्यो देखाउछ नै। जे होस, मैले भन्न खोजेको के हो भने एउटा शक्तिले अर्को शक्तिलाई सखापै पार्ने क्षमता कसैमा छैन। दीगो शान्ति त मेलमिलापबाट मात्र आउछ। हाम्रो जस्तो देशले अरु बढि युद्ध खेप्न सक्दैन। तर विडम्वना के छ भने हामी नेपाली नेपाली वीचमा घृणा र द्बेश बढेर मात्र गएको छ। सबैजना एक ठाउंमा अटाउन सक्ने वातावरणको श्रृजना गर्न सकिएन भने अशान्ति त सानो समूहले नै ल्याउन सक्छ भन्ने त प्रमाणित भैसक्यो। हैन र?

I think this poonte guy is from dc, isn't this guy puru subedi that short fellow, just guessing.

दोधारेज्यू, तपाईको शालिनताको तारीफ त उ बखतमै गरिसक्या हुनाले नदोह-याएको हुँ ।

तपाईको अन्तिम पोस्टीङमा जायज कुराहरु त छदैछ, झन् किन राजाको शक्तिखोर र दमनकारी नीति, जसले विद्यमान घृणा र द्वेषलाई झन् बढाएको छ, नाजायज छन् भन्ने प्रश्नको उत्तर समेत दिनुभएको छ । राजाले जे गरे, गरे, अब हामीले त्यसलाई स्वीकार गरेर मेलमिलाप गरौं भन्ने तपाईको आग्रह पक्कै होईन । कि हो ?

सम्वैधानिक राजतन्त्रवादी "मध्यमार्गी" हरुको वर्चस्व भएको यो -यालीको उद्देश्य पनि वास्तवमा मेलमिलापकै लागि छ । यो यो शर्तमा राजनैतिक पार्टी, राजा र माओवादी बीच मेलमिलाप हुन्छ भनेर राजालाई र अरु श्रोताहरुलाई सुनाउन आयोजना गरिएको हो, मूलत: ।

सम्वैधानिक राजतन्त्रवादीहरु सिद्धान्तले नै मेलमिलापवादी हुन् । त्यसैले तपाईले खोजेकै कुरा छ पाउनुहुनेछ, कमसेकम -यालीका अधिकांश वक्ताहरुबाट । सहभागीहरु हुन् खासमा झस्कनु पर्ने कुरा, किनभने मलाई विश्वास छ त्यहा बहुसंख्यक सहभागीहरुले द्वन्दप्रति अर्थात् गणतन्त्रप्रति आफ्नो आकर्षण देखाउने छन् । 'निरंकुश राजतन्त्र मुर्दावाद' भनिएलान् तर त्यसको अर्थ 'सम्वैधानिक राजतन्त्र जिन्दावाद, गणतन्त्र मुर्दावाद' भनेर बुझ्ने सारै कम हुनेछन् । अधिकांशले 'राजतन्त्र मुर्दावाद' भनेर बुझ्ने छन् ।

अब यी गणतन्त्रवादीहरुसंगको मामला चाहि बडो पेचिलो छ । यसबारे छुट्टै बहस आवश्यक होला ।

These half educated idiots who oppose king are actually helping the Maoist murderer. The political parties donot have the backbone to fight the Maoist terror. Only because of the Maoist terror is there a historical compulsion for king to take over. If you value freedom so much, then oppose the beastly Maoist terrorist.

THE KING HAS EVERYTHING TO LOSE BY WEAKENING DEMOCRACY. THE KING WILL NEVER BECOME A DICTATOR. AFTER THE MAOIST TERRORISTS ARE CRUSHED, WE WILL HAVE A HEALTHY RETURN TO DEMOCRATIC ACTIVITIES. UNTILL THEN THERE MUST BE A SINGLE MINDED CAMPAIGN TO ELIMINATE THE MAOIST TERRORIST.

Right or wrong, I have sent the following email to a list that was vigorously discussing about Princess Suji's announcement of showing up at the rally.

Dear friends,

I am aware that some royalist elements are disparately trying to spread false rumors about the rally for obvious reason. They know this rally is going to shatter their false claim [of "majority representation" ] about a small pro-King rally they managed to organize at the same place some time ago. And it will.

However, I am glad that this hullabaloo about Sujata Koirala occurred. This hullabaloo has not only sent a strong and necessary message to everybody concerned, but also has highlighted an important thing the organizers of the rally failed to convey.

What they failed to convey is that this rally is not only for rescuing democracy from the totalitarians- the King and the Maoists- but also from the incompetent and corrupt generation of political leaders. Had the organizers conveyed this message as well, any corrupt leader or their coterie would not dare to show up.

Personally I am disappointed to see that the organizer missed one of the fundamental discussions of Nepali democracy, that is, the call for rejecting the "corrupt democracy", in their communication.

They might have thought that that is not the priority at the moment.

If that's what it is, they could not be more wrong.

A call for a democracy without the commitment not to corrupt it is not only senseless at this point of our history but also is uninspiring and, most important of all, unable to answer anti-democratic questions.

If you can not say NO to "corrupt democracy" at this point, you don't have a cause of democracy at this point. Simple as that.

So, let's try to make up for that careless or otherwise omission made by the organizing committee and unwaveringly express our detest and commitment against "CORRUPT DEMOCRACY" along with "ABSOLUTE MONARCHY" and "OBSOLETE MAOISM".

And let us also not hide that the logical or at least an alternative conclusion of opposing all these three anti-democratic schools leads to... ahem ahem... a call for a DEMOCRATIC REPUBLIC of Nepal.

I feel that there is an undeclared and silent understanding among the organizers to keep REPUBLICAN voice suppressed in the rally. Just a hunch. I may be wrong.

As a believer and supporter of DEMOCRATIC REPUBLIC of Nepal and observing that a peaceful political way for that is now open in Nepal (refer Political parties acceptance to the idea of Constituent Assembly ) and that the voice for a DEMOCRATIC REPUBLIC is growing , I call upon all democracy loving friends to show solidarity to REPUBLICAN MOVEMENT in Nepal at this rally.

My slogans:

No To Monarchy

No To Maoism

No to Compromised Democracy

Voice For Republic Nepal

Nepe Ji,

Can you elaborate a bit on concept (meaning) behind Republic in the current scenario ?

Note: Maoist are fighting to bring Republic in Nepal. But you are against Maoist too.
