श्रमिक वर्गको सहभागिता भएन भने समतामूलक समाज निर्माण हुनै सक्दैन

हाम्रा चेतना र आपसमा जेलिएको रुपान्तरणको अजेन्डा सतहमा कतै वोधगम्य रुपमा त कतै अन्तरविरोधी रुपमा प्रकट भएको छ । परम्परागत रुपमा भन्ने गरिएको वर्गसंघर्ष र सामाजिक रुपान्तरणको अघिल्तीर “सामाजिक उत्पीडन” प्रमुख की “वर्गीय शोषण” या भनौ “पहिचान” प्रमुख की “समानता” भन्ने यक्ष प्रश्न खडा हुन पुगेको छ ।

“त्यो साउने झरीको दिन, तत्कालिन तानाशाही व्यवस्थाको कठोर दमन वीच विरालोको चालमा काठमाडौं लगनको गोप्य स्थानमा … प्रतिकि्रयावादी सत्ताको चोर आँखालाई छल्दै हामी जम्मा भयौं र घोषणा गर्यौ- अव नेपालमा ट्रेड यूनियनहरुको समन्वयकारी संयन्त्रको सूत्रपात भएको छ । वर्षैंदेखि खट्किरहेको अभाव पूर्ती गर्न हामीले जिफन्ट बनाएका छौं । …”आज भन्दा १० वर्ष अघि दशौं वार्षिकोत्सव समारोहलाई सम्बोधन गर्दै निवर्तमान अध्यक्ष कमरेड मुकुन्दले आज भन्दा २० वर्ष अघिको त्यो दिन अर्थात जुलाई २० लाई स्मरणगर्नु भएको थियो । आज हामीहरु फेरी त्यसै गरी आपुनो वार्षिकोत्सव मनाएका छौं।

२० वर्ष पहिले र अहिले हाम्रा समस्या र मागको सार उस्तै रहेतापनि समयले कोल्टे फेरेको छ । निरङ्कुश राजतन्त्र ईतिहास बनेको छ र सुदूर सपना ठानिएको गणतन्त्र सम्भव भएको छ ।

I seek PM’s answer

I guess those non-Nepali speakers certainly felt uneasy seeing my feeling in devnagari script. I thought, am not doing justice myself. The Nepali version all about my 5-minutes speech in Constituent Assembly. Subject was comment on Government Policy and programme.

My speech was supportive however bit in critical line. I was exhibiting my double face… supporting policies as per my Party line, which is second largest group in rulling coalition. I was definitely critical that the programme and policy was not looks like a programme presented by a Communist dominated rulling group. Some of the left intelectuals even attacked— it is in line of neo-liberal ideology!

संविधान सभामा नेपाल सरकारको नीति तथा कार्यक्रम माथिको टिप्पणी

संविधान सभामा नेपाल सरकारको नीति तथा कार्यक्रम माथिको टिप्पणी मा मैले निम्न कुराहरु राखें । यसलाई म क्रमश राख्दै जाने योजनामा छु ।

सभामुख महोदय,

सर्वप्रथम बाँधा श्रमको अवशेषको रुपमा रहेको हलिया प्रथाबाट हजारौं नेपाली श्रमिकलाई हालै मुक्त गरेकोमा ट्रेड यूनियन पृष्टभूमिको सभासदको नाताले नेपाल सरकारलाई बधाई तथा धन्यवाद ज्ञापन गर्दछु । मुक्त हलियाहरुको पुस्थापनाको मामिलामा हुनसक्ने अव्यवहारिक फेन्टासीप्ति सचेत रहन आग्रह गर्दछु ।

सत्तासाझेदार दलको सदस्यको हैसियतमा प्रस्तुत नीति तथा कार्यक्रमप्रति मुलतः समर्थन जनाउँदै प्रस्तुत कार्यक्रमम रहेको श्रम रोजगारी शिक्षा र स्वास्थ्यको विषयमा केन्द्रीत रही आपुनो संक्षीप्त मन्तव्य राख्ने अनुमती चाहन्छु ।

Nepal’s Contemporary Politics

Post-CA election period is, politically much complex in Nepal. Prior to May 28, the ultimate goal of the political parties was to overthrow Monarchy led by Shah Dynasty since 240 years. Since then a new “political gamble” has been sparked.

Congrats Dr Ram

President Dr. Rambaran Yadav

July 23- I was one of the invitee CA member in today’s sworn-in ceremony of the 1st Prez and veep of FDR Nepal. We had been asked to present on time at Sital Niwas now converted as the Rastrapati Bhawan. I myself, Binda and Com. Mukunda reached there at 2:19 some 26 minutes prior to the given time.

As one of the voter and the campaigner I approched to the Prez and said- Congrats Doctor saheb! He immediately replied- I am thankful to you and your party.

According to set programme all CA member should take their chair at 2:45, PM and CJ will arrive at 2:55, Vice-prez at 3:10 and  arrival time for the honorable President was set 3:15

However, the time was delayed by 45 minutes accordingly. I feel no embarrassment, but some of the Panchyat-time “National Songs” which was still claimining Nepal as Hindu State was being difficult to swallow down for me. In the mean time, the technician tuned FM radio which was extremely unwanted.

Anyway, the Prez arrived, the moment was too emotional for me as well that a cattle-herder of central south part of my Nation is sworning-as the First Citizen of my country! It was such a high peak that a citizen hardly dreamt to climb; but when time come knowingly or unknowingly person get chance.

The moment was exciting and I felt, in my life time it is first and last moment!

I went to the dice where Prez, Vice-prez, PM and Cj were accepting wel-wishes. As one of the voter and the campaigner I approched to the Prez and said- Congrats Doctor saheb! He immediately replied- I am thankful to you and your party.

One Day after Prez election

July 20- Today, in two reasons I found importance-i) 19 years before today we had gave birth GEFONT in a secret place of Kathamndu Lagan-I was named the General Secretary. It was a historical turn in my carier, which gave me a never erasing title- a trade unionist! ii) Today is the second of historical election of First president and vice president of FDR Nepal– we won the post Vice-Prez from our alliance (the UML-NC-MJF). However, we have hang-on on the election of Prez- Our candiate Dr. Ram Baran Yadav (the GS of NC) got 283 vote against 270 of Ram Raja Prasad Sing of Maoist camp. To win the race one should have 298 votes… tomorrow morning second round election will take place.

Why I am writinting this blog then? Neither I am a candidate nor the candidate of my parties? Is there any reason? Yes, I am one of the voters out of 601 (currently 594) of the presidential election and I was also one who insist our partiy to join this alliance while Maoist betray us terribly.”

Campaign For First Prez and Vice

July 18- Today, I participate in election campaign for the post of first president and vice-president of Federal Democratic Republic. Our candidate due to Maoist betrayal were Ramprit Paswan and Astha Laxmi Shakya.

Maoist are looking such Candidate for President, as Pari Thapa says- Chasma Laune Aankha Na dekhne, Lathhi tekne khutta na tekne; kuna ma basne dunaa ma khanee!”

Maoist gave candidecy for prez Ramraja P Singh and Shanta shrestha; where as NC candidate is Dr. Ram Baran Yadav for Prez and Maan Bdr B.K for vice-prez.

Today parliament secretariate organised a candidate introductory programme….

A Dangerous event in CA

July 9- It was almost midnight I reached to my home completing business in the Constituent Assembly today. The house was stalled since 15 days, the reason was Madhesi parties were asking proper wording during 5th amendment in the constitution. There was two major demands- i) make whole plain areas covering 22 districts a autonomous province known as Madhes and; ii) recruit madhesi in group in National Army. It was bit problematic for other political parties particularly the UML from which I represent in the CA. Thus, the Madhesi parties just made  picketing in the rostrum of CA.

Madhesi Parties were interested to insert a word- Swayatta Madhes Prades or autonomous Madhes province without specifying geography; they were further wanting to recruit Madhesi in group into the National Army.

To defuse this, today some agenda items finalised. First Maoist chairman will assure those parties throughout his address, then all Madhesi parties address the CA. And lastly, one of the CA member from MJF- J.P. Gupta will table his notice to oppose the process of amendment.

Till thhis point, well- there was no harm. However, when they start to deliver their thunder speech– they use all deregetory words against major political parties and challegned if their motion be failed- a cverticle dividing lines will be drawn which ultimately divide Nepal!

Maintaining this position, they walkout the CA building when the motion was failed. Out of 601 CA member some 83 Madhesis join this action.

Perhaps it is a normal thing in the parliamentry process. However, a alrming and dangerous poit is our MadhesisCA member were echoing a theory of “A country with two nation”. This was some how similar version of Jinna diuring India-Pak division and Pak-Bangladesh division.

Opps!
