The real people who fought for revolution are people who are the most neglected. Baburam Bhattrai is taking all diplomatic approach and using his all political might to save Bal Krishna Dhungels a$$. But combatants who served with their heart and soul are languishing in desperate state without any hope for future. Here is article i pickedup from myrepublica. It is so easy to brainwash people who are uneducated and are in state of hopelessness. But with time they realize, the stories they were told were all lies.

Disabled combatants feel neglected, humiliated

KIRAN PUN KATHMANDU, Nov 13: Neither the ordeals of jungle life nor the well-trained state soldiers could discourage them. As the members of the Maoist People’s Liberation Army (PLA), they were at the forefront of successive battles and fought the state forces bravely for the sake of a utopia the party promised. But they matter less as the peace process strides forward, and it is especially true of over 1,000 PLA amputees who have been left to fend for themselves at this juncture. [Disallowed String for - ] type=text/javascript> [Disallowed String for - ] type=text/javascript src="http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/show_ads.js"> “Others can take up a job, get involved in politics and even begin a new life. But I have nowhere to go and no scope for job,” says Lal Bahadur Oli, 30, from the Fifth Division, who lost vision partially after he got injured during the battle of [Disallowed String for - use of word not allowed]bang in October 2003, and later lost his vision altogether. Oli, like other disabled combatants, could not make it to senior positions in the PLA hierarchy, and will get only Rs 500,000 in rehabilitation. The peace deal doesn’t make alternative arrangements for those who have been incapacitated by serious injuries and cannot work for survival. “Without any regular source of income, I will soon be rendered penniless,” he says. Oli, who hails from the hill district of Salyan, was taken to the border town of Tulsipur in India for treatment after being injured in the battle, but he was arrested by the Indian authorities and handed over to the Nepal Police. According to him, the police in Taulihawa gave electric shock to his eyes, making him permanently blind. Prabina Gole Namuna, from the Third Division, is more angered than frustrated. “It is absurd that the leaders who cannot take care of their own cadres promise to change the face of Nepal,” says amputee Namuna, 22, who was severely injured when the army showered bullets from chopper at the party’s rally in Thokarpa, Sindhupalchowk, in March 2005. Namuna, who hails from Lalitpur and joined the PLA at 13, survived but lost her left hand. She says the PLA was taught that all were equal, but she is surprised at the rehabilitation package in which the commanders are getting much more than the ordinary combatants and at the party leadership’s apathy toward the injured, and the kin of the ‘martyrs’ and the disappeared. “Now I realize the war was only for power and position,” she says. Bhaktaraj Thapa Magar, aka Apil, of the Third Division, is now convinced that the dreams of the revolution will never materialize. “The martyrs don’t know what is happening in the country. But we survivors are dying alive,” says Magar, 29, from Ramechhap, whose brother Dil Kumar was also allegedly disappeared by the state forces in 2004. The peace deal also remains silent on the plight of the disabled combatants who lost the most during the war, but suddenly find themselves left to fend for themselves. “Not all what the commanders say is true, not all what the leaders say is true, and not all is well. A day may come soon when they have to regret for what they are doing,” says Magar.
