“Pashupati ko bayan bhayo, aba tinka pati lai bolaunu parchha,” said a friend of mine this afternoon. After thinking for about a couple of seconds, he continued his remarks as I could see anger in his eyes. “Tesko bayan ta malali lina man lageko chha.” [As Pashupati has been interrogated, he said, now is the time his boss is summoned. I want to interrogate him.] My friend, a reporter, was talking about the necessity of summoning and interrogating Gyanendra Shah, the king, by the High Level Probe Commission for his role in suppressing the historical peoples’ movement of April. The commission today interrogated Pashupati Bhakta Maharjan, Principal Chief Secretary of Gyanendra Shah who chaired an autocratic government in 2005 after successfully hatching a conspiracy against a democratically elected government in 2002. He tried with handpicked prime ministers for about three years. Maharjan, it seems, read out the script that we already knew about. We knew that he would act innocent (he said he worked as a bridge between the king and constitutional bodies and didn’t play any role in suppressing the peoples’ movement) and try to play the blame game.
I couldn’t disagree with my friend. The need of the hour is to interrogate King Shah and let the people of Nepal know why and how he suppressed the April Revolution that nearly overthrew him from Narayanhitti palace. We also need to know from Mr. Shah why those 24 innocent and unarmed Nepalis were killed. Krishna Jung Rayamajhi, the chairman of the probe commission today said that the chairman of the autocratic government would be interrogated. Some people are already seemed to be elated saying that the interrogation of Maharjan itself is historical because this is the first time that any probe commission has interrogated King’s most senior lieutenant. But that is not something to be proud of. Even Gyanendra’s possible interrogation should be taken as normal procedure. We should celebrate the victory of Nepali people only when king gets punished for what he did in October 2002, Feb 2005 and the next 15 months and in April 2005. I have heard some talking about the protocol of the head of state and king and I have told them that Gyanendra has no moral rights to continue his role as the head of state. The voice raised in the April Revolution is enough to prove that he must be stripped off that title and made a normal citizen before giving verdict. –By DW

Prof Payre Lall:
Are you really a professor or is that just a nickname? I am going to assume the later because I sure hope the young minds in our country are not in your hands.
Haven’t we guys have had enough of this Gyanendra shit already? There are more important topics to be discussed, decisions to be made and all we’re doing is taking pleasure in bashing Gyane. Hell Mr. Wagle, talk about crimes, talk about corruptions, talk about the freakish ‘I-can-do-anything-I-like’ attitude we Nepalese have, talk about the everyday strikes and bulshits ‘ansans’, talk about the Maoists’ hidden intentions in pushing the envelope further and further, talk about the hungry people of Bajura to Dolpa. Isn’t there anything else to talk apart from Mr. Gyane?
Bhudai,
I do not think you are also Bhudai and Pundit. Can you refute the allegations against Girija that I have accused ? Give the points, do not give general statements on any body’s comments. Girija was the one who created all this mess in nepal. He is feeding his party and his cadres from the corruption money till now during all five time PMship.He is a Bihari type local leader and does not have any long term vision for the country. He is good for Chief Minister of Bihar or Jharkhand. Nepalese had the curse of having such leaders like Girija, Deuba and Makune after 1990. If we had a charismatic and dynamic leader all along these last one decade and half, Nepal would have been different today.
bhudai,every country punishes people for revealing state secrets.Multiply it many times when its a foreigner and criminalize it when its a lie.Dunno what sort of a system it would be if anyone can come inside ur house and rape ur family member and get away with it.
C’mon Desh Bhakta Nepali, this is an overstatement of the highest order mate. What state secret has VanDeVeer revealed? And ‘rape of a family member’, that is too strong a word to be using in a context like this, haina ta?
automatic,
I will definitely say it – you are definitely a maoist.

I looked at the Van De Veer article. I think the mero Nepal is quite right. I have’nt read such fairy tale nonsense even in the Nepali press. He even can’t get a simple thing like the King’s name correct.
Oh mr. Pundit,
You said,
“desh bhakta:
anyone can write anything about anything. it’s called a democratic society! if you don’t want to read vandebeer’s moaists propoganda then don’t read his crap but don’t tell him he can’t write about something just because he isn’t Nepali.”
So why can’t desh bhakta say what he wants? You first say anyone can say what ever they want and that is democracy (i wonder if it is really true) but then claim that desh bhakta can only say things with your permission? That is your problem Mr. Pundit, you are a hypocrite.
FORGET ABOUT HEARING FROM GYANENDRA. LET’S HEAR FROM PRACHANDA WHY HIS CADRES ARE STILL GOING AROUND KILLING, LOOTING, MURDERING, ASKING FOR FORCED DONATION? ASK PRACHANDA HOW CAN MAOISTS JOIN THE GOVERNMENT WILL FULLY ARMED. CALL PRACHANDA, BABURAM BHATTARAI AND MAHARA ON A PUBLIC TV AND DEBATE.
ALSO CALL GIRIJA WHY HIS GOVERNMENT IS NOT PAYING ANY ATTENTION TO WHAT’S HAPPENING WITH THE POLITICAL SCENARIO. SPA ALIGNING WITH MAOISTS IS GOING TO BE DANGEROUS. SPA SHOULD HAVE GONE ARM IN ARM WITH GYANENDRA INSTEAD OF MAOIST. WAIT AND SEE IN A FEW WEEKS THE TURMOIL. THE BIGGEST DISASTER IS YET TO HAPPEN AND WILL HAPPEN SOON.
HUH! UWB’s slogan is United WE blog for Democracy.
But how come you never allow me to post my comment? I know you have set your script to disable me. HUH! very true democracy follower! A@#$%^ hole
Bhudai Pandit
I had thought you to be more logical and wiser but now I will not be surprized if you blame the people for all deaths as they had elected the party candidate or they gave birth to Maoist cadres. Remember the arm force was never under the ruling political parties. You have quoted this once and many a times in this very blog site and this is very true too. The main stream parties can be blamed for many a other viles but not cruel and unjust deaths.
All this vandeveer guy asks and cares about is guns, violence and revolution. A big loud phony. All you need to know about this guy can be found at blogdai.
Raj
Look Raj or should I call you SPA chamcha: This discussion started from a post that indicated there was blood on everyone’s hand. And yes there certainly is. Your beloved SPA are certainly not on par with the Maoists or the NA but they are not guilt free. They authorized Kilo Sierra where hundreds of innocent Nepalis died and they stood by and watched as the NA continued its autrocities… No I don’t think they systematically and intentionally caused the death and destruction (except operation Kilo Sierra) but they are not a big part of the crap we are in. That is not to say I don’t support them – unfortunetly we don’t have an alternative choice in Nepal.
B:
Get a life! Please don’t waste my time by trapping me in a pointless circular word jumble. I was simply trying to remind desh bhakta that anyone can write anything – and yes desh bhatka can view his opposition. I guess you are right – I can’t tell desh bhkta who to write either. You are right – I hope that made your day.
Desh Bhakta:
Relax no need to get all dramatic. Nobody takes this Vander-Whatever seriously so let me say wahtever he wants to.
Prof Pyre llyal:
Ok before foam start oozing from your mouth just realize that we all know Girija was far from perfect. And no I think Sher Bhadhur Deuba is by far a bigger culprit. The point is Proffesor there is no point now debating this issue and trying to proscecute Girija.
Let’s forget about the peace process and everything else we have achieved so far and focus on prosceuting Girija. Professor you must be totally oblivious to what is happening or has been happening in Nepal. If you are not then tell me who ISN’T currupt? So what should you do wise sir? Let’s just dismantle all our institutions and create a huge commision and make it national priority to find and prosceute officials who were currupt?
i think we should send the army to finish the maoists in those affected areas as soon as possible..
break the whatever bull shit treaty they had with maoists..
and assassinate prachanda, baburam and allthe top leaders of maoist who are in kathmandu
thats the only way i see how peace can prevail in nepal
Seriously this blog is such a waste already. Although it is a classic example of Nepalese Seriously, this blog is such a waste already. Although, it is a classic example of Nepalese psyche. I pull you leg you pull mine. Everyone has agreed to disagree. There is never consensus even when two idiots are reiterating the same sentence multiple times. Then some Bhan Da Bir comes in pretending to white while his passport says olive, pretending to be somewhere while his feet say otherwise and disseminates no sense into nonsense. Then there is Bhoooo Pundit who is competing to be the know it all of blog np and de-throne Kirat from his usual position. Well Kirat at least was consistent in his view point or maybe just more appreciable by me. Then there are others that have taken up from the old gun or blogomania Nepal, like Raj and Tero wa Mero Nepal, and plenty more. One this is for sure the quality of your sentences is much better that before and that is reason enough for you to ramble on.
Culture:
I don’t believe there is anyone putting a gun to your head telling you to come to this blog. Your last comment was just as worthless and a complete waste of time. More importantly it wasn’t even funny.
That’s why its a blog. What the hell do you expect to happen here? Besides look at that crap Wagle writes here before you even get to the post. So get over your pretentious self and deal with it – if not write something substantial and makes us in awe of your intellect.
Hey Culture, perhaps you have not read Bhudai Pundit’s comments properly but he is one of the few bloggers who makes sense. I agree that there are a lot of bloggers who just write crap though.
and one of real crap ideas is u mr. kIrat
It turns out that the arms fiasco with the Ukranian plane etc. was a consignment whose order was placed by the government (UML and Sher Bahadur coalition) before the royal takeover.
Bhudai,
You are a great Pundit, Maaane Maile prabhu. Ke garne nepal bhari problem nai problem chha. Girija problem,Prachanda Problem and Raaja problem. Neplase are going to suffer. This hatiyaar problem will take another one decade to be solved.Now SPA and maoists going for head on collision and in kathmandu at least 20000 people are estimated to be killed. And what you do Bhudai ? only writing the blogs can not stop the killing by the half educated Maoists leaders.They are the worst of its kind and they are the desciples of Pol Pot, don’t forget this.
The sympton showing that tie-up between SPA and Maoist done either without understanding each other or pressure from outer sider. The current situation showing that this tie-up might become one of the expensive in our history.
Deuba orders arms from Israel, royal govt. follow-up, Koirala govt. intervenes, stops deal
By Bhola B Rana
Kathmandu, 5 Sept:
The government of then Prime Minister Sher Bahadur Deuba placed an order for a $1.41 million consignment of ordinances including rocket launchers, ammunition and raw materials from Israel on 3 Jaunary 2005 for MI 17 Russian helicopters. The L/C or letter of credit for the import of the consignment was opened by the successor royal government three months later on 11 April and a partial $180,000 was advanced 3 July the same year. The government of Prime Minister Girija Prasad Koirala stopped its delivery through a request to the Indian Embassy. Government requested India not to give over-flight permission to an Ukraine cargo aircraft carrying the Israeli arms consignment to land-locked Nepal.
An Israeli company extended the delivery date of the consignment three times —at least twice after Koirala assumed office for the fifth time in April. The delivery date was extended to August and again to 30 October for the third time. The Ukraine Embassy in New Delhi wrote to the Nepal Embassy on 16 August asking permission for an Ukraine cargo plane to fly to Kathmandu via Ahmedabad with the Israeli consignment; the Defence Ministry received the request letter 25 August and acted.
Acting immediately, the Defence Ministry wrote to the Indian Embassy not to provide over-flights to an Ukrainian aircraft. Home Minister Krishna Prasad Shitaula gave the detailed background after a controversy brewed following published reports India detained an Ukraine aircraft for a search while en route to Kathmandu with weapons. Shitaula said an aircraft from Ukraine never landed in Ahmedabad with arms supplies destined for Nepal. Nepal and India, worked jointly, to stop the aircraft from flying to Nepal.
Hotel management meets in emergency session
Kathmandu, 4 Sept:
Hotel Association of Nepal (HAN) met in emergency session Monday without reaching a conclusion, Annapurna Post reports. The Association is meeting again Tuesday. The Association said Maoist-related trade unions are pressing impossible demands and government is not cooperative.
PM Koirala asks security agencies to remain alert
Kathmandu, 4 Sept:
Prime Minister Girija Prasad Koirala has directed security agencies to be on alert, Annapurna Post reports. He issued the directive after meeting chiefs of security agencies Monday. A minister present at the meeting revealed this to Annapurna Post Tuesday.
The prime minister was briefed on Maoist activities, insecurity prevailing in the country and criminal activities along highways. The prime minister inquired from security chiefs the purpose of rumours about arms and ammunition smuggling into the country and anarchy following strikes. Security chiefs told the prime minister Maoists are inconveniencing the people through extortions forcing hotel closures and the situation in offices was chaotic.

This is really the beginning of the end for the maoist! people like prachanda, baburam,badal,pasang,dev gurung,hisila will die a dog’s death!
gajadi and his “jungli junge boss ” parachanda can start digging their graves. End of the maoist has begun and it is happening right under you nose. Ke garne! gaju, that is the reality. the lalles [ lal salaams ]are having tough time convincing the urbanites that they are really good guys. The people from the cities have done one thing – REJECTED THEM OUTRIGHT! well done.
gajadi – start seeing things in correct perspective or else you will be joining the “jungli junges to their graves”.
mr. ha ha ha,
90 trucks filled with brave armed comrades have entered kathmandu via Thankot during the last few days. just wait for about 2 weeks and you will see who will die, who will live and who will be digging whose graves !!
60 trucks of our warriors will also enter the valley to clear the ills of anti Hindus.
Yamaraj is also coming to count the dead bodies in Kathmandu..
“The people from the cities have done one thing – REJECTED THEM OUTRIGHT! well done.”
The people’s rejection means nothing. They have no guns.
if maoists come to rule in the valley then i guess i will be in favour of starting a civil war against them..
as the RNA is tamed by the governemnt now and wont do anything to protect its own citizens..
ppl like me will be forced to take up arms against the maoists
as the maoists believe the power lies in the muzzle of a gun.. so do i.. think we should start smuggling guns now in ktm to start an armed uprising incase the maoists start exterminating the valley citizens
Harkee dai, Sadly, it would be hopeless to start a citizens “resistance” to an organized army of murderous gangsters. In any case, mere moments after a Maoist Nepal is recognized as official the Indian Army will begin mobilizing to come in and annex Nepal out of necessity. Our only hope is for our own Nepal Army to take action if it’s not already too late,
cant u see bideshi.. RNA cant do anything now..
its been politicised now..
if anyone even thinks of doing anythng then he will come under the scanner of our intelligent MPs in the parliament and thats that..
either he will be fired or suspended..
the MPs will rather choose for the sky to fall down their head rather than going against the maoist..they are so full of shit and are a scared lot bideshi ..dont forget that..esp our home minister
Insane Maoists, always in denial. Would you rule Nepal in denial also? Kill innocents, extort money and destroy the economy. For what? A simplistic failed ideology, that is what.
These threads give me a headache. Going back to Blogdai
Raj Kumar Thapa
Yeah, time has come to wrap this blog shit and make a run. Maoist are in control now. There is so much going on and all are getting outta hand and control, just look around. This nation will go down in the history as like Afghanistan and Sudan.
I praise the people who have spoken with head stuck in the sand, praise people who spoke of democracy like Stalin and Lenin, and praise Wagle for being true sympathizer of Maoist. Welcome to Kingdom of Nepal now infested by harbinger of Armageddon.
Just learn to live and let live. No more sermons and prophecies or right or wrong nor leftist or rightist just one way to hell.
e-mailing with a real Gurkhali:
Dear Mr. Zollinger,
Thamk you very much for taking trouble replying my mail. I have read many articles on RNA in the past where the writers have mix up them with the Gurkhas in the British Army. I did not write to editors about it thinking other with more punches might do it. You were the first person reminding them of the mix up.
As you have been in this country since 1977 and in contact with col.J.P Cross saheb you know far more than I do about this country. Until some 15 years ago I was a stranger in my own coutry. How wrong I was in taking pride of my country while I was serving in the Brtish Army where I spent 30 memorable years in there.. I am just getting to know my country. I had been so fool and innocent for that long years.
With regards,
JSR

I know Nepal since 1977 consulting the Small Hydro Development Board as Engineer from the former SATA till 1982. As such I traveled all over Nepal. Being married to a KC women from Myagdi, I nowadays stay in Pokhara in wintertime.
There I talked several times to the retired British officer JP Cross and read some of his books. I was reminded of my trekking in the hills when reading about his experiences with his porters when a high brahmin refused them to use the dhara for drinking .
In Europe similar situations happened some 200 years ago. At that time in Switzerland in a remote district the last witch was burned.
Many things and many people in many parts of Nepal are still 200 years backward.
The NA should now get a national army , a Nepal Army which should get rid of all its royal leaders and its ties.

Subject: Your view on NA
Dear Mr. Zollinger,
First of all my apology for being a poor writer. At the time when I was a soldier in the British Army I did not need to use Eng, everything was done in Roman Gurkhali and all British officers in the unit spoke gurkhali.
I read your view on NA sometimes ago in TKP. Yes, those writers who want to give good impressions of NA misleading readers by taking the credits of hard earned honor and reputation of the Gurkhas serving in the British Arny. Those Gurkhas serving in the British Army were the sons of the tribes designated as low caste, just above the so called “dalits”. They were almost all illiterates at the time of joining but sincere and honest. On becoming of soldiers they had total loyalties to their commanders, section to all the way up, taking orders without hesitation. Winning of 13 Victora Cross so far is testomony to that.
Why the Gurkhas performed so well in the British Army, is it is all something to do with the leaderships. They were commanded by caring, committed, high caliber and professional officers leading their men by examples.
The maoists wont do anything
The SPA wont do anything
The NA or RNA wont do anything
No will do anyhting
Lets not be naive, this is Nepal we are discussing.
Good work guy!
