"There is one, and only one, kind of real internationalism, and that is -- working whole-heartedly for the development of the revolutionary movement and the revolutionary struggle in one's own country, and supporting (by propaganda, sympathy, and material aid) this struggle, this, and only this, line, in every country without exception". -Lenin |

On
the occasion of the 10th anniversary of the PW in Nepal; videos, text and

17, July 2007 | EDITORIAL After a gap of many
months we are able to bring this issue in your hand; we must apologize to our
readers for this delay. It was further more important for us to provide with
the latest information regarding rapid political developments especially in
Nepal, which we could not be done because of this delay. After the
outstanding development of People’s War for ten years, new situation arrived
at in Nepal for the joint mass movement in order to overthrow the 239 years
old autocratic monarchy and establish ‘republic’. As a result of ten years of
PW and unprecedented 19 days joint mass movement based on the achievement of
the PW, a new political situation has been emerged in Nepal. The agenda of
election of constituent assembly which was the agenda of only CPN(Maoist)
before six years is now major political agenda of the nation. The heroic
people of Nepal have already established republic in the street during the Mass
Movement-II and it is the responsibility of the eight parties to
institutionalize the same through the process of election of the constituent
assembly, which it seems far from being achieved. Under a grand design of the
foreign and domestic reactionaries, namely, the US imperialists, Hindu
fundamentalists of India and monarchists, to sabotage the election of
constituent assembly, it was not held in the stipulated time of ‘mid-June’
and it has been rescheduled for November 22, 2007. Some districts of Terai,
plain land of southern part of Nepal adjoing to India, have now become the
play ground for all the reactionary elements and use their stooges to fulfill
their reactionary ambitions. The immediate aim of this design is to sabotage
the process of election of constituent assembly and wipe out the influence of
our party from Terai and its long term aim is to separate and split Terai or
Madhesh from Nepal and incorporate in Bihar of India. Leadership of the seven
parties who are engaged in the politics of appeasement and the interim
government which is victim of inaction, there is every possibility that the
reactionary conspiracy may succeed to disrupt the process of election of
constituent assembly. Only a bold and daring decision of declaring ‘republic’
from the legislature-parliament and go to the election, which only can ensure
the election to be held in stipulated date. But pro-US, pro-king and
pro-Indian Hindu fundamentalist elements within the leadership of ‘Seven
parties’ are causing obstacles in it. Thus we feel that another popular mass
movement needs to be launched so that the government and the seven parties
will be compelled to agree in declaring ‘republic’ from the legislature which
can pave the way for the election of constituent assembly and form a ‘New
Nepal’ Our Party, the
CPN(Maoist) thinks that it is going through a new experiment of continuing
and developing the revolution through peaceful way in a situation created by
the ten years of PW and the successful historic April mass movement. It is
quite natural that revolutionaries and oppressed people of the world have
their eyes on the political development of Nepal. Definitely Nepal is in the
cross road. There are definitely big challenges and big opportunities.
Necessity of the hour is to face the challenges and achieve the
opportunities. Revolution in Nepal is
the part of the world revolution. Therefore it should serve the world
revolution and also deserves support from world revolutionaries. While
developing the PW during the last ten years it was felt that the
international support was not enough that was required to achieve the
nationwide victory of the revolution. It is necessary to fulfill this task
during this time of peaceful development of the revolution. Every body can
easily see how our party is working hard for the enhancement of our
international relations. It will not be any exaggeration to say that we have
made a significant achievement in this regard during the last six to ten
months. To enhance the
international relation is not only necessary for the nationwide victory but
it is essential for sustaining the new state as well. In the event of the US
imperialist working day and night to isolate our party, further enhancement
of international relation is inevitable both for the victory of the
revolution and sustenance of the new state. Who is real friend of our country
and the people of Nepal and who is not, can be determined by the role played
by them in relation to the development of revolution and its sustenance. INTERVIEW Chairman Com. Prachanda's Interview regarding his visit to Switzerland Lenin
had written the April thesis on the train journey. Have you also drawn any
sketch of revolution during your long flight? In my case it is not
exactly in the way you have said, however this time we reached the place in
Switzerland where Lenin had stayed and organized a conference. That gave us a
new feeling. From the idea that Lenin had set off to Moscow by the train in
the underground way, we too definitely happened to think of a sketch of
revolution, but there was no atmosphere to go to the extent of shaping up a
thesis itself. What
was the most memorable experience of your journey to Europe? There is an
organization in Geneva known as democratic forum for control of armed force. I
can never forget the kind of discussion that was held in its head quarters on
restructuring the army and about the reformation of the armies of the world
and their security mechanisms. What
were the responses and reactions upon the idea that you stipulated there when
the questions of restructuring the army of Nepal has arisen emphatically? In the general sense,
we have found that their understanding was not out and away from the UNO's
practice of DDR in various countries but when we put forward our ideas, we
felt that they seemed to be convinced about the importance and seriousness of
our projection. How
did you try to make the foreigners understand that the Maoist came to
politics from war? War and politics are
the terms that are inter-related to each other. The main thing is that we
have tried to make them understand about the process from war to the peaceful
political revolution. We put forward about the Nepalese political situation
and from that how the peaceful political transformation is possible. We feel
that had a big impact through which we think we could make a big political
interference. What
did you feel about the outlook of European government and European people
towards the Maoist movement? Europe is positive
towards the peace process. Europe doesn’t want that the peace process be
disturbed. The neutral nations of Europe are more positive towards the Maoist
movement. At the press conference in Switzerland, that I had done after 6
days, if Europe does not come forward then the peace process of Nepal can be
disturbed at any time. That could be the great shock, because the superpowers
do not want the peace here. Therefore if Europe comes forward, then it brings
the positive impact. Does
Europe come forward by passing America? I don’t think it can by
pass America, but if Europe wished by its culture, tradition and thought that
peace process of Nepal must succeed, then the initiation might move forward. You
might have studied about the farmers in Switzerland? The farmers of
Switzerland and Nepal can never be compared. There only 3% of people are
engaged in agriculture. 97% of people are engaged in industry, service and
trade. In fact those 3% do not want to be farmers, but the government forced
them providing the attractive schemes. We went to the village of farmers too.
There a person who has a cow gets 2000 francs per year. If a person has 20
cows, he gets 40000 francs per year. There is also the profit. We have asked
the representatives of Swiss government that why farmers are given that much
amount. They said that, if farmers are given money, they do not destroy the
land. If it is seen from the eyes of Nepalese, they are not the farmers. Did
you observe the hydro-power project too? It remained
unforgettable about the hydro-power too. It was in Ganjil. While looking from
outside, there appeared nothing but a hill only. But in a tunnel there are
the power houses and buildings under it. The length of tunnel is 120
kilometers, but from outside nothing like that was visible. It looked some
thing like miracle. Not only me, but the whole team felt the
same. Is
such construction possible in Nepal? Immediately it is not
possible in Nepal. It costs a lot. The only thing is that we can gather
courage and enthusiasm with the idea that every thing is possible. That type
of technology is not necessary for us now, because we have many easy out-
flowing rivers, why should we make such tunnels? Secondly, our hills are not
as strongly fossilized as that. That was a very old rock. There is no fear of
crumbling down, even when the tunnel is made. Our hills are delicate. The
situation does not match with that of ours; the tunnel under our hill can be
dangerous. Is
the federal system of Switzerland useful to us too? Before 1848, many wars
took place there. They passed through many incidents of killings, and finally
they arrived to this system. They present constitution of theirs is the 1848
constitution. The basic form is the same in spite of some amendments.
Generally there are three or four main languages and two religions. The
federal system of Switzerland has been developed on the basis of language and
religions. To consider this way, we have also said federal on the ground of
language, culture and geography. In that sense there are many things to learn
for us. But I don’t think that every system of Switzerland is applicable for
Nepal. What
are the things that we cannot apply here? Does
Switzerland have to learn any thing from the Maoist movement of Nepal? It’s not others to say
but up to themselves about learning something from the Maoist movement of
Nepal. But there also is a kind of understanding that the present political
changes would not have been possible if the Maoist had not played the
significant role and had not launched the revolution. In this sense, Nepalese
people’s political consciousness has become influential. There also we found
that the people’s movement has earned much respect. Did
you have the discussions with professors and students there? We had discussion on
federalism with the professors of Berne University and Pre Berne University. What
type of curiosity did the professors there put to you?
When
you came back to Nepal, you said that you felt there is Switzerland within
Nepal and Nepal within Switzerland. What do you mean? Towards the end of our
visit we observed the hydropower stations where we saw high mountains like
that of our country. There were small hillocks and ridges on our way to
Berne, Zurich and Geneva, although there were mountains visible in the
distance. But while going to the power stations, there were high hills,
waterfalls, lakes and ponds, and everywhere things appeared exactly like that
of Nepal which deeply touched and moved me, and I told the friends about my
feelings. I said the same thing in the press conference in Switzerland. I had
the feeling that there was Nepal in Switzerland or Switzerland was in Nepal.
We have made an appeal to the whole of Europe that we can unitedly do a lot
for the mankind from the constructional development to the practice of peace
in Nepal. What
are the main achievements of your visit to Europe? I feel that our visit
remained successful in breaking away many illusions that were left in Europe about
the CPN (Maoist) and the people’s war. What we actually want has been
positively communicated to the people. In this sense I feel that it became
really very important. Secondly, we went to Switzerland first, from which we
delivered a message to whole Europe and the whole world. I did not choose any
group or any country of the world powers. We delivered a message how we can
learn to develop our nation from a country of the same geographical
structure, and also how peace can be prospered in Nepal. It was a strong
answer to those who have called us terrorists. Internationally that is a big
achievement. Was
there any confusion about the Maoists? We came to know that
there were confusions about us. Some people thought that we don’t want the constituent
assembly, but our visit became successful in clearing the confusions.
Moreover, Oslo where comrade Baburam Bhattarai visited was the place where
many prominent leaders of the world had gathered, and the visit to Oslo
remained very helpful to clear away all the illusions, and clarify the real
situations. On the whole I feel that it was a very good interference in
Europe. NATIONAL Madhes at Crossroads -
Sanjay Kumar Monarchy
in Nepal has repressed the Madeshi, a large indigenous population in the
plains for ages. The deliberate process of isolating them psychologically and
politically began with the myth of misquoted unification by Prthivi Narayan
Shah. During Rana, Panchayat and Post 1990 regimes, the autocratic state
tried to wash off her moral duties by giving a handful reactionary and feudal
Madhesis representation in the state organs. The undemocratic steps of the
state hurt the sentiments of the proletarian Madhesis. They got disillusioned
and alienated further from the mainstream, thereby generating hatred and
anger among the Madhesi people against the state and privileged class. However, the Madhesis
took their plight as destiny and sealed their lips against exploitation,
humiliation and discrimination in any form. They could not express their
grievances and exchange ideas due to their inability to communicate in the
state imposed monolithic Nepali language. The linguistic barrier and
incompetence crippled the Madhesi people and caused them to suffer from
inferiority complex and helplessness. They looked up Khas speaking hill
people as their superior and ruler. Being victimized by the state, they
narrowed themselves down to the inferior and ruled. The author still
recollects the exploitations and tortures inflicted upon the humble Muslim community
in his village in the district of Morang during Panchayat regime. They were
often falsely accused and unjustly persecuted for the robberies and crimes
committed by the Indian criminals across the border. A ten-year Glorious
People’s War led by Nepal Communist Party (Maoist) has shaken the very
foundation of the monarchy by polarizing all the marginalized sections across
the nation. Nepal has shifted from the homogenized singularity to the
heterogenized plurality. The Madhesis have equally taken a leading role in
the Maoist’s insurgency. They have fully internalized Prachanda Path- blended
with the trinity of Marxism, Leninism and Maoism-as the only way to liberate
them. Fully armed with Prachanda Path, the present transformed and
trained proletarian Madhesis are on the path of making an inclusive federal
republic Nepal with right to autonomy and self- determination.
Consequently, February Madhesi Movement emerged and forced the
reactionary and bourgeoisie political parties like Nepali Congress and UML to
move along the republican path. The royalist,
imperialist and other reactionary forces are actively involved with all their
muscle and money powers to obstruct the republic-bound nation and hurl it
back to the state of violence, chaos and lawlessness. They succeeded in
aborting April Uprising to mere 19 days and barred it from turning into a
decisive mass revolution by exploiting Congress’s and UML’ Hamletian
dilemmas, pro-Indian and palace policy. In lie of safeguarding
and learning lessons from the historic set back, both Congress and UML
continue to indulge in derailing the republic track on the pretext of various
lame excuses. The Indian extreme Hindu fundamentalists, American imperialists
and reactionaries from both inside and outside are resorting to sabotage the
upcoming Constituent Assembly poll. They have made Madhes a soft target. In
their initiation, coverage and financial assistance, several secessionist and
criminal groups are mushrooming in Madhes. They are desperately trying to
jeopardize the racial harmony and brother hood existing between hill and
Madhes peoples. They are under the false illusion that they will succeed in
befooling and blackmailing the Madhesis as usual. The Madhesis have
clearly comprehended that the gory carnage of Gaur was the evil design of the
reactionaries. Madhes and Madhises are an integral part of Nepal and no
sectarian force can secede it. Class demarcation and feudalism have been deep
rooted among Madhesis for ages. Social crimes like casteism, dowry and witchcraft
have been imported to the holy land of Madhes from across the Indian
Territory due to cultural tieings and open border. The Madhesis have to take
a resolution to uproot such social crimes and combat a decisive war under the
leadership of the proletarians on the path of Prachand doctrine for their
emancipation in particular and all margins in general. The united fight of
all proletarians will certainly defeat the bourgeois feudals for once and all If every Nepali takes
to their heart the great Madhesi spiritual, “say with pride that we are
Madhesis, the sons of the soil, not foreign immigrants”, Nepal will truly
reflect “Unity in Diversity” with her multi-ethnic, multi-linguistic and
heterogeneous rhetoric identities. INTERNATIONAL Foreign relation of CPN(Maoist) on the rise --
Com. Gaurav It is big news in Nepal
these days that Maoist Party is striving very hard to develop its foreign
relations. They also make their assessments that it has achieved tremendous
success in this regard. The visits made by some of the leaders of our Party
to foreign countries and our bilateral talks with the official delegations of
various countries including our immediate neighbor and a tested long time
friend of our country, China is being cited as the examples. This short
article relates to the same subject. Yes it is true that we
are striving very hard to develop and strengthen our foreign relation. During
the period of People’s War the regime had declared our party a terrorist
organization and had approached most of the governments of the world. Based
on their relation with the regime some of the governments had listed our
party as terrorist organization and some though did not listed but treated us
as terrorists. In such circumstances it was not possible for us to develop
any king of relation and ties with us. When we negotiated with parliamentary
parties to launch a joint mass movement against the autocratic monarchy with
the aim of establishing democratic republic and made a series of negotiations
including the interim legislature and interim government in which we have
significant representation in both. A new political situation has emerged due
to this new change in political scenario. Therefore, our party’s
international relation was confined to the relation with the fraternal and
friendly revolutionary parties and organizations of different parts of the
world. Because of the change in the political situation that has given rise
to a new possibility of developing revolution with peaceful form of struggle
we are obliged to develop state to state relations with various governments
which are friendly to our nation and the process that we have decided to
adopt to resolve the political crisis and way out for forward development. We have already brought
out our views in open through different mediums. Now we have two aspects of
our foreign relationship: fraternal and friendly relations with Maoist and
other revolutionary communist parties and organizations and side by side
relation with other political forces and the governments of various countries
which are friendly to our country and the people of Nepal and supporting the
ongoing political process. Therefore the success of out foreign relation can
be gauged through both the perspectives. There is no such
significant shift in the development of fraternal and friendly relations with
the Communist forces. It is also true that we have come in touch and extended
relations with new such forces. As because there is no upsurge of the
revolutionary movements led by communists in the world today, this relation
will have no such a magnitude to determine or influence the ongoing political
developments. But it never means that it does not bear any significance.
Unity of the communist revolutionaries has its own significance and deserves
to be maintained and developed. It is true that there
is a significant shift in developing relation with various governments which
are friendly to our country and supporting the ongoing political process in
Nepal and providing help to enhance this process. Frankly speaking we have
good relation with all countries of the world except the Bush
administration. During the 52 minutes long discussion with the
leadership of our Party, the visiting former US president Jimmy Carter opined
that it was unjust not to remove the terrorist tag from our party in the
given situation that we have a strong presence in the interim legislature and
also in the interim government. The relation with the European countries is
good enough. We have easy access with them. The recent visits of our
leadership including our Chairman have enhanced this relation to further
higher level. The heightened relationship of our party with the European
countries will definitely create diplomatic pressure to Washington. The Bush
administration is thus isolated from the world and from even within US for
its flawed policy regarding its relation with our party. Our relation with
China, the immediate neighbor and long tested friend of the Nepalese people
has developed enormously within short span of time. The strong statement made
by the Chinese Ambassador explaining the policy of his country that ‘China
would never tolerate any foreign intervention in Nepal’ at a time when we are
facing a threat against the integrity of our beloved motherland is really of
paramount importance, which paves the way thus demonstrating that there is
ample scope in advancing our relationship at the higher level. The
relationship with our other immediate neighbor India is fairly good. The
support the separatist elements are enjoying from India, especially from
Bihar has definitely caused some problem in Nepal. But the government of
India seems not to have any role into it. Our only concern is that the
government of India should use its good office to help control the bad
situation in Nepal by preventing such elements from getting any support from
the Indian soil. Therefore it will be no
exaggeration to say that the foreign relation of our party has been enhanced
and it is developing fairly well. REPORT Report from Nepal - C.P.N (Maoist) "To deal with the
question of 'completion' of the bourgeois revolution in the old way is to
sacrifice living Marxism to the dead letter"
The real importance of this precious teaching of the great Lenin was
seriously felt in the practical sense in the communist movement in Nepal as
the People's War led by the Communist Party of Nepal (Maoist) CPN{M} entered
into the stage of strategic equilibrium from the stage of strategic defense.
Though there are plenty of instances of changes of tacks in the history of
our party nevertheless, it had not become imperative for the major tactical
shift until the people's war reached the stage of strategic offense. By then
we have chalked out a new way and have trying to advance revolutionary
practice through this labyrinth. Still it is the concrete features peculiar
to this historical situation in Nepal that led to this tactical shift. It is
doubtless that this situation is borne as the natural consequence of these
ten years of heroic armed struggle led by our party. Note: This report was
presented by the delegation of CPN (Maoist) at the meeting of CCOMPOSA, which
was held in last week of June ] REPORT IT’S THE RIGHT TIME TO INCREASE SUPPORT
FOR THE DEMOCRATIC REVOLUTION IN NEPAL - Johan Peter Andresen,
Leader
of the Health Team for Nepal project. The
Health Team for Nepal was formed in 2006. The aim of the Health Team project
is to help the poor people in the rural areas of Nepal. The Health Team for
Nepal cooperates with the medical department of the People’s Liberation Army
in order to attain this goal. The health team for Nepal consists of two
parts: the medical specialists and the support group. The specialists have a
programme to train approximately 20 medics based on a course developed by
progressive Norwegian surgical specialists. The curriculum is based on two
books: Save Lives Save Limbs and War Surgery. As part of this project we have
sent 50 copies of each in English and the books are also being translated
into Nepali. The raining course takes 18 to 24 months to complete and
contains three intense training sessions. The surgeon Hans Husum and
specialist nurse Merete Taksdal have completed the first course together with
PLA medics and medical staff at Gorneti Model Hospital in Rolpa in November
2006. The second course is
scheduled for October 2007. The support group collects the money needed for
the project and spreads information about the democratic revolution in Nepal.
So far we have collected approximately 2 200 000 (NRS). Of this we have used
1500000 (NRS). In order to complete the project we will be collecting another
800 000 (NRS) within nine months. The health team support group has held
audiovisual lectures at about 14 schools and at approximately 15 mass
meetings in various cities in Norway. In order to strengthen
our understanding of the situation in Rolpa where Gorneti Model Hospital is
situated, and to get a better understanding of the political development in
Nepal we arranged a group trip to Nepal this summer. Seventeen participants
from Norway and two journalists from the Swedish revolutionary weekly The
Proletarian arrived in Kathmandu at the end of June. We have been well taken
care of by the health department of CPN(m) and traveled to Gorneti Model
Hospital via Ghorahi and Tila. At Gorneti Model
Hospital we studied mainly four questions: The history Of the construction of
the hospital and how it organises it’s daily routines, the role and the
impact of the hospital on the local ommunity that consists of approximately
20 000 people, the role of the women in the hospital and the situation for
the female patients, and the role of the hospital in the general political
development. The staff at the hospital are terrific people that work 24 hours
a day for very low wages to develop the health of the people in the district,
and they all have a very well developed consciousness of their tasks. We were
very impressed by how well the hospital functioned in an area with no modern
infrastructure or advanced facilities. We were also treated much too well by
our hosts. After Gorneti we went
to Tila and spoke with the PLA leadership about the situation for the brigade
there and the new developments in the local area. I visited Tila in November
2005 and could see that there were improvements: The Martyr’s road had
been built even further, the road from Tila Towards Ghorahi was improved, the
sanitary facilities were better, the water pipes were bigger and the rooves
of some houses were better. I was also told that Tila would be getting
electricity in some month’s time. The day after we went
to the cantonment at Dahaban. Here we checked Out the much talked about
weapon containers and had talks with the Leadership of the Fifth division of
the PLA. We also had time for volley ball games with some PLA soldiers. The
main thing we learnt in the talks with the PLA were that they are working
systematically to fulfill the tasks that the peace process has set for them,
and that they are very eager to see that the Constituent Assembly elections
are attained in a fair and free manner. It seemed to us that they have a good
and relaxed relationship with the UN staff. In Ghorahi we talked to
local people including a Newar that told us About the fate of the Newars
under Prithvin Narayan Shah and the goals of the Newars today. We also met
with a local businessman that explained why he hoped that the political
process taking place would have a positive impact on the economic development
of Dang, and that he felt the main problem today was corruption. We also spoke
to local youths and representatives of women’s organisations and participated
in a demonstration against the celebration of king Gyanendra’s birthday. We
are now in Kathmandu and are having meetings with Maoist organisations,
CPN(uml), trade unions, women’s organisations and the Norwegian embassy. And doing tourist
things With all the material
we have produced in the form of interviews, Photos and film, we will produce
a magazine and a film. We will sell these in Norway, and let the profits go
to the Health Team project. We held a summary
meeting recently and all the participants said that This trip has been much
better than they expected. We will be leaving for
home on the 15th of June. With us we will have a million impressions, thousands
of answers to questions we had before we arrived and a hundred new questions
that pop up as we learn new things every day. We have met very many self
sacrificing women and men, that have endured extreme hardship in the people’s
war and that are continuing the struggle today for a federal democratic
republic. While we were in
Gorneti, we asked the staff to write up a list of Medical instruments that
they lacked. And we had a meeting in our group to discuss if we could try to
strengthen our collection campaign in the coming months so that we could buy
the medical instruments already while we’re here in Kathmandu. We all pledged
to increase our work to collect the funds necessary and it gives a good
feeling to see the many cartons of material that we now have purchased, that
will be transported to the hospital tomorrow. The reason we are
developing this concrete solidarity work is not Because the Nepalese are
poor, but because we know that if the democratic revolution in Nepal is
successful, then this will have an international impact and also help common
people in Norway in their struggle. A victory for common folk in Nepal is a
victory for common folk everywhere. July 12, 2007ss REVIEW A short review of Annual policies and programmes of the
government of Nepal --Suresh
Ale Magar The government of Nepal
presented its annual policies and programmes (APP) for the fiscal year
2007/2008 in the legislature parliament on 4 July 2007. The APP contains 45
points in all and is relatively small in size. Needless to say, it has tried
its best to justify that it is a document of compromise built among 8
political parties. But, however, it is really so? . Quoting Mahatma
Gandhi who, when India was still under British rule, had once said that the
Britons would help them with their feet by walking, PM Koirala called on
indirectly ‘King Gynandra to abdicate voluntarily. If ruthless and autocratic
monarchs would have abdicated voluntarily, the world would have been a
different and better place to live in. The APP has a lot of
‘shall dos’ which have made it a bundle of hollow promises and assurances to
the people. But there are no sincere commitments and deplorable is the fact
that it lacks of a clear vision. In the APP, Mr. Koirala, at a place mentions
that the election to Constituent Assembly shall end the old era and Nepal
will enter into a new era. But, paradoxically, it is he who was the principal
actor in the postponement of the same in last May and as long as the status
quoits, national capitulationist and regressive tendencies, which he has been
embracing, prevail, there is very little likelihood that the election to CA
will be held even in November this year. Moreover, he has not spoken even a
single word till now about the founding of republican system in Nepal though
he has uttered many times petulant, disgusting and controversial talks for
which he was heavily criticized. Instead of creating
jobs and exploring ways by enhancing national capital and exploiting natural
resources in the country, the government has adopted a policy to encourage
people to go abroad for jobs. The funniest thing in the APP is that it talks
about “eradicating corruption and poverty in the society”. What a great joke!
PM Koirala has discussed about integration and rehabilitation of the Maoist
army fighters but has maintained a mum, to all’s surprise, on building a new
national army by reintegrating both the armies –People’s liberation Army and
Nepal Army (which was and presumably still is loyal to feudal monarchy)
in accordance with Interim constitution, comprehensive Peace Accord and the
Agreement on Monitoring of Armies and Arms. In addition, the APP has no
plan to take actions against the merciless repressors of the 19 days historic
people’s movement that was based on 10 year old people’s war thunderously
launched by our Party, CPN (Maoist), nor it has dared to make pubic the
report of Rayamajhi Commission which has enlisted criminals. Above all, the policies
and Programmes of the government are not prepared in line with the Interim
Constitution and political consensus built among 8 political parties, in
fact, they run against. This act of PM Girija Prasad Koirala is what deserves
criticisms and condemnations from all quarters of the society. In the APP, he
talks about new Nepal at a place but grips tightly the old mindset and
tendencies. In essence, the Politics and Programmes of the Government of
Nepal are nothing but a mere traditionalist and status quoits document that
has disappointed the Nepalese people who are desirous of building a new
Nepal. It has totally failed to address even the spirit and essence of
Interim Constitution and meet the expectation of the people. SOLIDARITY Solidarity With Nepalese Revolution --Com.
Basant Development of people's
revolution in Nepal, which is at the doorstep of seizing central power, has
strongly drawn attention of the whole world. On the one hand, the
reactionaries of all hues, mainly the US imperialism and the Hindu
fundamentalists in India, are doing all they can to sabotage this process before
it gives birth to a New Nepal, free from feudalism and imperialism. And, on
the other, it has drawn up the working class and the oppressed masses the
world over closer than ever before to the struggling Nepalese people, who are
desperately waiting to see it happen soon. Furthermore, their deep concern
and awareness on how they can play a role to defend Nepalese revolution from
external threats is very much inspiring. Within a few months in
the past, there have been various interactive programs, indoor and outdoor,
in different parts of the world. Of them, given the geo-political location of
Nepal the programs that were organised in India, on the challenges and
possibilities facing the Nepalese revolution, do have far-reaching
significance. Be it outdoor programs organised in different 17 cities and
participated by party activists, and revolutionary and just-loving masses or
be it 27 indoor programs held in presence of party leaders from various
revolutionary, left and democratic parties and intellectuals all over India
has, in deed, revealed how serious and resolute they are on their
internationalist duty to defend the revolution in Nepal. Although it was not
possible to get in touch with all of the like-minded parties and
intellectuals, what has revealed from these programs is that a good majority
of left force in India is very much inspired from the development of
revolution in Nepal and is thirsty of its success. They have a deep
realisation that given the reactionary Nehru Doctrine, which considers Nepal
under its protectorate, and India-locked geographic condition of Nepal it is
largely the Indian people who can extend an important helping hand for the
success, sustenance and development of Democratic Revolution in Nepal, till
the same has been accomplished in India. Whoever was met with
had basically a firm common opinion that the future of revolution in Nepal is
basically dependent on how strongly and thoroughly the revolutionary and
democratic forces in India develop solidarity movement with it. And their
untiring effort to materialise it is really enthusiastic. It is a very good
thing for Nepalese revolution. Truly, it has further encouraged the Nepalese
people, struggling in their mission to build a new Nepal in the beginning of
the twenty-first century. PRESS
RELEASE CCOMPOSA CALLS ON PEOPLE’S OF SOUTH ASIA TO OPPOSE INDIAN RULERS
GROWING INTERVENTION IN NEIGHBOURING COUNTRIES The Indian rulers seek
total domination of the countries of South Asia acting as the gendarme of the
US in this region. At the recently held SAARC Summit it went so far as to
propose a South Asia Parliament seeking to undermine even the existing
limited sovereign of the South Asian countries. Earlier they had proposed a
common currency for the region to further consolidate its economic hegemony
in the region. At the SAARC Summit it continued to push its SAFTA {South
Asian Free Trade Association, n order to dominate the markets of the region
and allow the unhindered free flow of goods made in India {mostly by the big
comprador houses and the TNCs} to all countries of South Asia. 1) Proletarian
