 If Balkrishan have killed Baburam's daughter, will he still be saving this ass_hole? No wonder USA still consider Maoists a terrorist group. They are terrorist.

 This is an abuse of authority. Though I was never a maoist, I was a silent supporter of Baburam but after this incidence, it is clear that he is no different than other A hole PMs.

 It was really hard for me to watch this video and images it brought to my mind. Unless, baburam and Maoist leaders have some sort of accountability for people under them..for me all political leaders are same..It is the same thing that is bringing country down..

If you skip to 2:18 in the video..u will find out..why Ujjan Kumar Shrestha was killed..(bahuni ko chori biha gareko) intercaste marriage...It really breaks my heart knowing this. Baburam and maoist leader have sheltered Bal krishna saying..it was during the time of civil war and politically related case...which is clearly a lie...

Baburam.....Stop Faaaking sheltering criminals!!! or is thispolitical party made up of all criminals n terrorist???

ढुंगेललाई माफीको निर्णय सरकारले फिर्ता नलिने

सोचविचार गरेर ठीक निर्णय गरेका हौँ : प्रम भट्टराई-
काठमाडौँ, कात्तिक २६ (नागरिक)- प्रधानमन्त्री बाबुराम भट्टराईले हत्याको अभियोगमा सर्वोच्चद्वारा जन्मकैदको सजाय सुनाइएका सभासद बालकृष्ण ढुंगेललाई माफी  'सोचविचार गरेर ठीक निर्णय गरेको' बताउँदै फिर्ता नहुने संकेत गरेका छन् । माल्दिभ्सबाट फर्केपछि विमानस्थलमा सञ्चारकर्मीहरुसित कुरा गर्दै भट्टराईले यस्तो बताएका हुन्। "द्वन्द्वकालको मुद्दालाई प्रक्रियासंगत रुपमा उठाएका हौँ, यसलाई अन्यथा लिनुपर्दैन", निर्णयको चौतर्फी आलोचना हुँदै गर्दा प्रधानमन्त्री भट्टराईले भने, "प्रतिपक्षले उठाएका कुरालाई पनि हामीले अन्यथा लिएका छैनौँ।"

प्रतिपक्षी नेपाली कांग्रेसले निर्णय फिर्ता नलिए स‍ंसद चल्न नदिने बताइसकेको छ। प्रधानमन्त्रीले भने द्वन्द्वोत्तर कालको विशिष्ट कालमा विशिष्ट किसिमले नै समस्याको हल गर्ने बताए।

'द्वन्द्वको खेती गरेर डलर भित्र्याउने सानो समूहले  उचालेर' यो सब गरेको प्रधानमन्त्री भट्टराईको आरोप थियो। "१६ हजारले ज्यान गुमाएका छन्। व्यक्ति-व्यक्तिको मुद्दामा पछाडि लाग्ने हो र खोतलेर बदला लिने हो भने यो मुलुकमा कोही पनि बच्ने छैन", भट्टराईले भने।

द्वन्द्वको खेती गर्नेले ढुङ्गेल प्रकरण उचालेको प्रधानमन्त्रीको आरोप

(6 Votes)
 
शेखर अधिकारी

BABURAM-BHATTARAI
 

काठमाडौं, कार्तिक २६ - प्रधानमन्त्री बाबुराम भट्टराईले द्वन्द्वको खेती गर्ने समूहले सभासद् बालकृष्ण ढुङ्गेलको आममाफी प्रकरणलाई उचालेको आरोप लगाएका छन् । उनले आममाफीको निर्णय सोचविचार गरेर गरिएकाले फिर्ता नलिने अडान राखे ।

 

माल्दिभ्सको अड्डु टापुमा भएको दक्षिण एसियाली क्षेत्रीय सहयोग सङ्गठन (सार्क)को १७ औं शिखर सम्मेलनमा भाग लिएर शनिबार राति स्वदेश फर्किएका प्रधानमन्त्री भट्टराईले त्रिभूवन विमानस्थलमा पत्रकारहरुसँग यस्तो बताएका हुन् ।

 

‘द्वन्द्वको खेती गरेर डलर भित्र्याउने सानो समूहले यस विषयलाई उचालेको छ,’ सभासद् ढुङ्गेल प्रकरण चर्किएकोप्रति प्रधानमन्त्रीको भनाइ थियो, ‘जिम्मेवार राजनीतिक दल यसको पछि लाग्नुहुन्न ।’ 

 

ढुङ्गेलको आममाफी विशिष्ट प्रकारको भएको टिप्पणी गर्दै प्रधानमन्त्रीले व्यक्ति–व्यक्तिको मुद्दामा पछि नलाग्न आग्रह गरे । ‘द्वन्द्वमा १५ हजारले ज्यान गुमाएका छन्, व्यक्ति–व्यक्तिको मुद्दामा पछाडी लाग्ने र खोतलेर बदला लिने हो भने यो मुलुकमा कोही पनि बच्ने छैन,’ उनले भने ।

 

ओखलढुङ्गाका उज्जनकुमार श्रेष्ठको हत्या अभियोगमा सर्वोच्च अदालतले सर्वस्वसहित जन्मकैद सुनाएका सभासद् ढुङ्गेललाई आममाफी दिन सरकारले राष्ट्रपतिसमक्ष सिफारिस गरेपछि यसको चर्को विरोध भएको छ ।

 

प्रधानमन्त्रीले भने विरोधलाई अन्यथा नलिएको बताए । ‘बहुदलीय प्रक्रियामा सरकारले सोच विचार राखेर निर्णय गर्दछ,’ प्रतिपक्षीको विरोधप्रति उनले भने, ‘प्रतिपक्षीले पनि आलोचना जाहेर गर्नुलाई मैले अन्यथा लिएको छैन ।’

 

विस्तृत शान्ति सम्झौता र पछिल्लोपटक भएको सात बुँदे सम्झौतामा पनि द्वन्द्वकालका घटनाबारे छानबिन गर्न सत्य निरुपण तथा मेलमिलाप गठन गर्ने खुलाइएको प्रधानमन्त्रीले बताए । यस विषयलाई बढी नगिज्ल्याउन उनले आग्रह गरे ।

 

प्रधानमन्त्रीले सार्क सम्मेलन आपसी सम्बन्ध विस्तारका लागि फलदायी भएको जानकारी दिए । उनले यसअघि भारत भ्रमणमा भएका सहमतिलाई अगाडि बढाउन भारतीय प्रधानमन्त्रीसँग वार्ता भएको बताए । 

 

भूटानी प्रधानमन्त्रीसँग शरणार्थी समस्या समाधानबारे मंसिरमै बैठक गर्ने, श्रीलंका र माल्दिभ्समा हवाई सेवा सञ्चालन गर्न, बंगलादेशसँग फुलबारी बन्दरगाह सञ्चालन, पाकिस्तानसँग बन्द व्यापार सुचारु गर्न र अफगानिस्तानसँग नयाँ सम्बन्ध सुरुवात गर्नेबारे छलफल भएको उनले बताए ।

 

११ सदस्यीय नेपाली टोलीको नेतृत्व गर्दै प्रधानमन्त्री मङ्गलबार माल्दिभ्स गएका थिए । सम्मेलन शुक्रबार १० बुँदे अड्डु घोषणापत्र तथा चार सम्झौता गर्दै सम्पन्न भएको थियो । सम्मेलनले आगामी १८ औं शिखर सम्मेलन नेपालमा गर्ने निधो गरेको छ ।

more sad news: 

'ढुंगेलको निर्णयमा पुनर्विचार हुँदैन’

काठमाडौं, कार्तिक २७ - प्रधानमन्त्री बाबुराम भट्टराईले ज्यानमुद्दामा सर्वस्वसहित जन्मकैदको सजाय पाएका माओवादी सभासद बालकृष्ण ढुंगेललाई आममाफी दिन राष्ट्रपतिसमक्ष गरिएको सिफारिस फिर्ता नहुने र यसमा पुनर्विचारसमेत नहुने अडान राखेका छन् । 

माल्दिभ्समा सम्पन्न सार्क शिखर सम्मेलनबाट शनिबार राति फर्केका प्रधानमन्त्री भट्टराईले त्रिभुवन विमानस्थलमा सञ्चारकर्मीमाझ भने, 'द्वन्द्वको खेती गरेर डलरको बाली भित्र्याउने जुन सानो समूह छ, त्यसले हल्ला गर्नुलाई हामीले अन्यथा मान्नु हुँदैन ।' बहुदलीय प्रजातन्त्रमा असहमति, सुझाव र आलोचना जाहेर गर्नुलाई प्रतिपक्षको कर्तव्य भन्दै भट्टराईले यो विषयलाई 'नगिजोल्याउन' समेत पत्रकारहरूसँग आग्रह गरे । 

'सरकारले कर्तव्य पूरा गर्छ, सोचविचार गरेर निर्णय लिन्छ । त्यसबारे असहमति, सुझाव, आलोचना जाहेर गर्नु प्रतिपक्षको कर्तव्य हो । मैले यसलाई अन्यथा लिएको छैन,' उनले भने, 'द्वन्द्वकालका मुद्दाहरूलाई फिर्ता लिने भन्ने कुरा बृहत् शान्ति सम्झौतामा पनि भनिएको छ । यो पहिल्यै स्पष्ट भइसकेको कुरा हो । र, अस्तिको सात बुँदे सम्झौतामा पनि द्वन्द्वकालका मुद्दाहरूलाई बृहत् शान्ति सम्झौता अन्तर्गत हेरिनेछ भन्ने कुरा प्रस्टसँग राखिसकिएको छ । यी मुद्दा पहिलेदेखि नै बहस र छलफलमा भएकाले हामीले प्रक्रियागत ढंगले नै निर्णय गरेका छौं । यसलाई अन्यथा मान्ने कुनै कुरा छैन ।' 

प्रधानमन्त्री भट्टराईलाई पछिल्लो पटकको मन्त्रिमण्डल बिस्तार क्रममा हत्या आरोपित काभ्रेका माओवादी सभासद सूर्यमान दोङलाई ऊर्जा राज्यमन्त्रीमा नियुक्त गरिएकोबारे पनि जिज्ञासा राखिएको थियो । तर उनले यसमा जवाफ दिएनन् । सभासद ढुंगेललाई सर्वोच्च अदालतले सुनाएको सर्वस्वसहित जन्मकैदको फैसला उल्टाउन सिफारिस गर्नाले राज्यशक्ति र न्यायालयबीच टकराव हुँदैन र भन्ने अर्को प्रश्नमा प्रधानमन्त्रीले सहज रूपमा भने, 'केही हुँदैन, कुनै टकराव हुँदैन । विशिष्ट अवस्थाका विषयहरू विशिष्ट किसिमले हल गर्नुपर्छ । आज हामी द्वन्द्वोत्तर कालमा छौं । विगतको द्वन्द्वक्रममा पन्ध्रौं हजार मानिस मरेका छन् । र, उनीहरूका बीचमा सत्य निरूपण गर्ने र फेरि मेलमिलाप गर्ने भन्ने हाम्रो स्पिरिट हो । त्यसैले व्यक्ति-व्यक्तिका मुद्दा कोट्टयाउँदै जाने हो भने यो देशमा कोही पनि बाँकी रहँदैन ।'

प्रधानमन्त्रीले प्राचीनकालमा रहेको सामाजिक न्याय प्रणालीअन्तर्गतको 'हमुरावी सिद्धान्त' को सन्दर्भ पनि जवाफ दिने क्रममा सुनाए । 'आँखा आँखाका लागि, दाँत दाँतका लागि भनेजस्तै कुरा गरेर हुँदैन । एउटाले अर्काको आँखा फोर्‍यो भने उसको पनि फोर्ने, दाँत झारे पनि दाँत झारिदिने भन्ने ढंगले विगतको द्वन्द्वमा मरेका सबै मानिसको बदला लिने हो भने यो देश फेरि द्वन्द्वमा जान्छ,' प्रधानमन्त्रीले भने, 'अहिले हामी त्यतातिर जानु हुँदैन । विशिष्ट विषयको विशिष्ट किसिमले नै हल गर्नुपर्छ ।' 

उनले जिम्मेवार राजनीतिक दलहरूले कुनै बहकाउमा नआइकन शान्ति सम्झौताको मर्मअनुसार अघि बढ्नुपर्ने सुझाव दिँदै सभासद ढुंगेलबारे सिफारिस र निर्णयमा सरकार प्रतिबद्ध रहेको धारणा दोहोर्‍याए । 'यो विषयमा सरकार प्रतिबद्ध रहन्छ र रहनेछ । जो हामीले निर्णय गरेका छौं, सोचविचार गरेर गरेका छौं । र, ठीक निर्णय हामीले गरेका छौं । यसलाई अन्यथा मान्नुपर्ने कुनै कारण छैन ।'

हत्या आरोपी मन्त्री भएको हेर्न बाध्य

काभ्रे, कार्तिक २७ - पतिका हत्यारालाई कारबाही गराइछाड्ने अठोट लिएर ६ वर्षअघि काठमाडौं छिरेकी पूणिर्माया लामाको अठोट अधुरै छ । कारबाहीपछि मात्र गाउँ फर्किने उनको इच्छा थियो । 

द्वन्द्वकालमा पति अर्जुन लामाको अपहरणपछि हत्या भएको थियो । हत्या आरोपीमध्ये सभासद् सूर्यमान दोङ ऊर्जा राज्यमन्त्री भएपछि पूर्णिमायाले न्याय पाउने आश मारेकी हुन् । 

'अपराधीलाई टुलुटुलु हेर्न बाध्य भयौँ,' गहभरी आँसु पार्दै उनले भनिन्, 'मान्छे मार्नेलाई मन्त्री बनाएर सरकारले पुरस्कार दियो ।' न्यायका लागि राष्ट्रिय-अन्तर्राष्ट्रिय स्तरमा समेत कुरा पुर्‍याउँदा पनि न्याय पाउन नसकेको उनले गुनासो गरिन् । मेरा पतिका हत्यारा खुलेआम हिँड्छन्, मैले न्याय पाइनँ,' उनले भनिन्, 'उनी मन्त्री भइसके, खै अब झन् कहाँ न्याय पाउँला ?' 

उनले पति हत्याको आरोप लगाउँदै पूर्वसञ्चार मन्त्री अग्नि सापकोटासहित माओवादी कार्याकर्ता रक्की भन्ने यादव पौडेल, भोला अर्याल, श्याम भन्ने कर्णाखर गौतम, लालध्वज भनिने सूर्यमान दोङ, नोर्बु मोक्तानविरुद्धमा २०६५ साल साउन २७ गते किटानी जाहेरीसहित कारबाही माग गर्दै जिल्ला प्रहरी कार्यालयमा कर्तव्य ज्यान मुद्दा हालेकी थिइन् । 

छत्रेबाँझ ५, दाप्चाका अर्जुन लामालाई स्थानीय कृष्ण माविको व्यवस्थापन समिति अध्यक्ष चयन भई २०६२ वैशाख १६ गते दिउँसो स्वागत कार्यक्रम चलिरहेका बेला विद्यालयबाटै माओवादीले अपहरण गरेको थियो । २०६२ असार दोस्रो साता बुढाखानीको चार किल्लामा हत्या गरी शव गाडेको जाहेरीमा उल्लेख छ । सुरुमा प्रहरीले पनि जाहेरी लिन नमानेपछि पीडितले कारबाही माग राख्दै २०६३ मा सर्वोच्च अदालतमा रिट हालेका थिए । अदालतले २०६४ फागुन २७ गते जाहेरी दर्ता गरी कारबाही अघि बढाउन जिल्ला प्रहरीका नाममा आदेश जारी गरेपछि प्रहरीले अनुसन्धान थालेको थियो । 

अग्नि सापकोटा सञ्चारमन्त्री भएका बेला सुशील प्याकुरेल, कनकमणि दीक्षितलगायत अधिकारकर्मीले कानुनी राज्यको उपहास भन्दै जेठ १२ मा सर्वोच्च अदालतमा रिट हालेका थिए । काभ्रे प्रहरीले अग्नि सापकोटा र सूर्यमान दोङलगायत आरोपित नभेटिएको उल्लेख छ ।  

प्रहरीको खोजीमा रहेका राज्यमन्त्री दोङलाई बिहीबार प्रहरीले स्कटिङ गरी सिन्धुपाल्चोक पुर्‍याएको थियो । 'पतिलाई किन अपहरण गरियो ? किन मारियो ? उनको शव कहाँ गाडियो ?' भन्ने प्रश्नको जवाफ माओवादी पक्षबाट पूणिर्मायाले अहिलेसम्म पाएकी छैनन् । 'हामीलाई सानो गल्ती गर्दा कानुन लाग्छ,' उनले भनिन्, 'ठूलाले मान्छे मार्दा पनि कुनै कानुन लाग्दैन ?'

माओवादीले लामाको हत्या तत्कालीन शाही सेनाको मोटार्स प्रहारबाट भएको दाबी गर्दै आएको छ ।  बिहीबार बनेपामा नेपाल राष्ट्रिय कर्मचारी महासंघले गरेको बधाई कार्यक्रमलाई सम्बोधन गर्दै आरोपी राज्य मन्त्री दोङले द्वन्द्वकालमा जोडिएका घटना आफ्नो मात्र नभई पार्टीको भएको बताए ।

i literally couldn't just cry when i watched the video. the whole time i was picturing my mom crying over my dead body. i used to dream of gaining the best education, training myself as close to perfection as possible, and going back home to live with my family and serve people back there. but, as it seems now - there's no life back home. the country is ruled by thugs, criminals walk free on the streets, and a common household like mine always has to live under constant threat. every single ruler (PM) is nothing but same old piece of $hit! i'm just sick n tired of these bunch of dikheads trying to ruin the country. government keeps on changing and with every new government we hope that things will take a good turn but it keeps on gettin worse instead. there is no hope unless people rise heavy against the government or a third party interferes and takes things under control.

Days of reckoning   
  DAMAKANT JAYSHI Myrepublica

The outcome of the murder-convict Bal Krishna Dhungel pardon plea will soon be known. This case also offers some inescapable lessons for all concerned, including Prime Minister Baburam Bhattarai. Let me first examine how and why we arrived at this point.

Whether he likes it or not Bhattarai comes across as someone who enjoys the company of murder-convict and murder-accused. So far four people with murder taints have been spotted in his circle. There could be more as media digs into the past record of those in Nepal´s largest-ever cabinet.

Bhattarai inducted three murder-accused in his cabinet (one of them, Prabhu Sah, has already been forced to resign) and is defending party colleague and parliamentarian Dhungel.

The prime minister seems not to have learned any lesson from the Sah fiasco since he has subsequently inducted two more murder-tainted politicians--Suryaman Dong and Om Prakash Yadav Guljari--in the last two cabinet expansions. Is this just his gung-ho attitude or an attempt at a political hara-kiri?

Defending his move to recommend pardon for Dhungel, the PM termed it a right one taken at a right time. I am afraid it is just the opposite. The decision to pardon Dhungel who is yet to honor courts´ orders is wrong on moral as well as legal grounds. It also further entrenches the culture of impunity. Dhungel has been convicted of murdering Ujjan Shrestha in Okhaldhunga district in 1998, just two years after the Maoist ´People´s war´ began.

A letter to the editor in Kantipur daily on Monday claims Dhungel had not even joined the Maoist party at the time. The Okhaldhunga wing of the Maoist party says that since Shrestha had been found "spying" for Nepali Congress, he was "eliminated". If Bhattarai, Dhungel and the party get away with this, expect more "spy" logic behind murders during decade-long insurgency. This is certainly a test case.

Shrestha´s sister and parents say that he was murdered because he married a Brahmin woman whose relatives then sought Dhungel´s help in killing him. The PM doesn´t want Dhungel to serve the prison term that the court has slapped on him. Hence the attempted cover up by terming the case "politically motivated".

It so happens that Dhungel belongs to the Bhattarai camp in the Maoist party, the smallest of the three factions. The support of every single member of this camp is crucial for Bhattarai for present and future battles in the party. This also explains the rationale behind the creation of the largest cabinet ever.

As for the timing of the pardon recommendation, it comes before the formation of Truth and Reconciliation Commission (TRC) for which less than two weeks are left as per the recently signed seven-point agreement. (In fact this and the Commission on the Disappeared People have been due for over five years.)
Bhattarai seems to be enjoying the company of murder-accused and convicts. The Dhungel controversy is a wake-up call to put in place safeguards to thwart subversion of justice and protect independence of judiciary.

The rush to protect Dhungel despite pleas from the victim´s family and the two orders from SC asking the government to arrest and send him to prison is not difficult to understand. Bhattarai seems to be forgetting that he is the prime minister of all Nepalis, not just for a select few people who happen to be members of his party.

Party chief Pushpa Kamal Dahal has tried to bail out his beleaguered deputy, claiming the pardon decision had been originally taken when CPN-UML´s Madhav Kumar Nepal was the prime minister. Nepal wasted no time in shooting down the claim.

Even if Dahal were speaking the truth (it is his words against Nepal´s), Nepal apparently backed out later. That was the right thing to do. The president, Dr Ram Baran Yadav, is believed to have asked him and his successor, Jhalanath Khanal, not to proceed. It is very likely that the president gave the same suggestion to Bhattarai who apparently refused to heed it.

Call it power-drunk arrogance, his fondness for Dhungel or his helplessness, the prime minister has no one else to blame for the soup he is in. (Of course, there are suggestions that his party chairman tricked Bhattarai into recommending the pardon.)

One can draw several conclusions from this episode but I will limit my analysis to issues of justice, judiciary and Bhattarai himself. So far as Bhattarai is concerned, none of his recent moves reflect well on him. The PM, who prides himself on responding to people´s concerns, has clearly lost the public pulse. Letters to editor space in major newspapers, the vox pop on TV channels and scathing editorials have all condemned the move.

His reputation for being different from past prime ministers is in tatters and unless he engages in some serious damage-control, he would find it extremely difficult to recover his erstwhile popularity. For this, the Maoist party vice-chairman has to overcome his customary stubbornness in accepting that he could ever be wrong. I am sure he is aware, given his nature to read a lot, that there are already insinuations that he is indeed different from his predecessors—only much worse. Bhattarai better heed this before it is too late.

The Nepal Army top brass is very happy at the turn of events. They have tried to defend their actions during the insurgency, arguing they had acted under Terrorist and Disruptive Activities (Control and Punishment) Ordinance (TADO), the anti-terrorism ordinance which, in 2004, replaced the Terrorist and Disruptive Activities (Punishment and Control) Act or TADA of 2002. Army officials are claiming immunity from prosecution under TADO´s cover, just like the Maoists are seeking the same under "politically motivated" angle. As a result victims would be denied justice.

Since we are in the midst of writing a new constitution, the Bhattarai-Dhungel fiasco is a timely reminder of what we ought to do regarding independence of the judiciary. In the new constitution, the parties—which believe in supremacy of law and natural justice—should incorporate provisions that guarantee and protect the independence of the courts. There should also be a provision that calls for suspension of charge-sheeted public servants (besides bureaucrats), and expulsion from their posts if convicted. It is a disgrace that Dhungel still sits in the Constituent Assembly and the prime minister continues to defend the indefensible.

On Sunday, the Supreme Court issued a stay order on the cabinet recommendation to pardon Dhungel. For the time being, it has prevented a confrontation between the prime minister and the president who has made known through various means that he is not too pleased by the cabinet´s action. Bhattarai should count himself lucky that the SC has provided him a safe-landing option. He should grab it with both hands and withdraw the recommendation to the president.

In case he doesn´t, what should President Yadav do? He must do everything he can to uphold justice. Delay acting on the recommendation or hold it or even refer it to the Supreme Court as lawyers have suggested. Advocate Swagat Nepal has written a brilliant piece in Monday´s edition of Nagarik daily on the history of pardon and what options the president has. Both the president and the prime minister should read that and decide the next course of action.
