OCTOBER 11TH 2007 WILL BE THE LAST DAY FOR NEPAL's MONARCHY!

Girija has called a special session of parliament ON OCTOBER 11TH, 2007.

THE MAOISTS-TERRORISTS MAIN AGENDA IS TO CALL FOR VIOTE IN THIS CONSTITUENT ASSEMBLY.

These maoists-TERRORISTS have TWISTED THE ARMS OF GIRIJA FOR CALLING THIS SESSION. If the maoists-terrorists do not get this session to pass ABOLITION OF MONARCHY then they will START THEIR ARMS STRUGGLE AGAIN.

IT IS ALMOST 99% CERTAIN THAT MONARCHY WILL BE ABOLISHED in this session. Girija held special discussion with Chief of Army Katuwal late evening of October 9th, Tuesday. WHAT FOR?

October 11th, 2007, Thursday will be a sad day for Nepal's Monarchy!

GUYS TWO MORE DAYS!!!!!!

that's a good news.

yeah dream on kapil dev hahahaha

i don't think congress or RPP will agree to vote in the favor of republic through interim parliament. and maoists haru le jatti nai dhaak lagaye pani, they're not going back to jungle for yet another friggin armed revolution.

my guess is: the motion for republic will fail to accumulate 2/3 majority of the house hence in the midst of the failure to forge an agreement, the seven party alliance will break and the government, which already is incumbent, will collapse. . they will form a new government and this time it will be led by the maoist leader(s). i honestly don't know how they will approach the republic agenda then.

i am for republic via CA though!

People should decide what they want, not those corrupt politicians.

I hope, the monarchy ends soon. But I don't want it to happen through the interim parliament because these representatives are not the people's representatives; they didn't come through the election. I'm also afraid who's really capable of taking over the role of monarchy at the present scenario?

India is playing dirty politics again. General Ashok Mehta (indian) said yesterday that indian army will storm kathmandu if maoists take over, and today the indian embassy released a statement clearifying the previous view doesn't necessarily holds true as the same view as that of the Indian goverment.

Old guy, Bhattarai is being quite active, and today's bbc reported that our army general Katuwal has recently met with Bhattarai at the latter's residence.

Also, there's the anarchy going on in Nepal. If there's some accidents, the whole town would be shut down, and the alleged vehicle would be burned, and the alleged driver beaten to death by the mob.

A child was killed yesterday in Patan; it is very sad news. But what the relatives of the boy did was also sad. They've no rights to go and torch the suspect's home, and why do all other people have to suffer by their chakka-jam?

Perhaps, we're not yet ready to abolish monarchy. I'm against monarchy, but monarchy is still better than anarchy.

Ha Ha Ha !!! We'll see who'll be terminated. If Gidde goes far behind, he'll also go to hell with Mr. Dhal.

"monarchy is still better than anarchy" well said gahugoro. Once I was also  supporter of constitutional monarchy but when Gyaane crossed the line of Constitutional monarchy, I felt that we need republic.

But, declaring Republic from the interim parliament can not be justified in any means. First of all, the parliament was restored to hold CA election. Secondly, all the memebers of the parliaments are not elected ones. BULKS OF MAOISTS are there without being elected. The peace agreement signed by then 7 parties allience and Maoist stated that the faith of monarch would be decided in the very first meeting of CA.

So  to declare republic from this parliament right is impossible and I am sure that Girija and congress will not do so. Its all the propaganda of extreme left forces to disrupt the peace process.

बिख रोपेर अम्रित् फल्दैन। खमेरुज् का नाया संस्करणहरुले हिंसा र  हत्या गर्न बाहेक जानेका छैनन्। जनताको कुरा गर्ने  तर जनता मार्ने जन्तुहरु दुर्भाग्यले हाम्रै मुलुकमा जन्मे। पशुपति नाथ पनि के हेरेर बसेका हुन्, कतै आँखा अनि दिब्य चक्षु दुबै बिग्रियो कि?

SO ? What do you fuggin think is gonna happen next ? he he 
Not going to change anything. Nepali cirizens are still suffering. 
THE ONLY ONES BENEFITING FROM THIS ARE THE FUGGING POLITICIANS.
THE FUGGING COMMIES AND THE FUGGING CORRUPT SPA.
LIFE FOR AVERAGE NEPALI STILL SHITTY. 

It doesn't make a difference to me. "Jun Jogi aaye pani kaan Chireko"

END OF MONARCHY..............????????

IMPOSIBLE........lets wait and see..if it will really be the end of  the king

and he gives up to these Netas and the terrorist without a fight than i'll be dammned

The king will not go quitely............he cant go quitely...I cant even picture that......

nepal under commie terrror...................?????/ sad....and what is this Bathroomcoffee crying about

here....I thought you were happy??? sala natak garchhas....he he he ha ha ho ho bhanna matra auchha

thats all this SOB has to say he he ha ha hoho....and a stupit one line nonsense.....GET OUT!!!

MR_TRUTH, your article was good, but you just deleted it.

I strongly support lootekukur's view..Thats what I think and support though...Country should and must be declared republic but should and must go through CA polls..Its not that they must consider republic just because a terrorists group (I am referring this as Maoists) forced to do so..

.

Absolute monarchy is bad, but cant abolish monarchy right now. Like it or not its necessary- its a necessary evil.

 

The Indians are trying to destroy every national, cultural, political identity of Nepal and monarchy, the last socio-politico-cultural icon of the nation, remains unfinished task.

 

Here you are counting the days of monarchy delhi is preparing to send its army. Prachand knew he wont be allowed to enter the fort but he still tried to do that...niu khojne kaam...they all building up a setting...

Bakhra haraunu bagh karaunu jastai jastai huna thalyo.

 

We still have time to be sensible..Think twice before you end up speaking in favor of traitor

Most democratic way would be to go for referendum on the subjects like :secular country ,king and Federalism along with CA.
but why would politicians want to give people chance to chose?They talk about janta...Selfish.Bloody bastards.

Let the king go and ask for votes.. Be fair and let him contest.If SPAM can really beat him..
Why is maoist so scared if congress doesn't want to go for republic...Don't you guys get tired of  hearing Nepali janta want republic??People would have voted for maoist to go for republic...haha.

Just wait till BJP comes in power in India..whole dimension of nepalese poitics will change.Anyways this leftist indian govt.is going to crash.Even Yechuri of India wouldn't be able to save Maobadi.

Mr_truth, can u pls break the line of your link, the whole page's messed up b'coz of that link.

 

Is India playing a similar game like in the following: (source: http://www.sajha.com/sajha/html/OpenThread.cfm?forum=2&ThreadID=51111)

The pain of losing a nation.

By Sudheer Sharma


On the northern corner of West Bengal state of India , there is a hill station-- Kalimpong, which once hosted celebrities from all over the world. The hill town, where most of the settlers are of Nepali origin, no longer retains its old charm. But until a few weeks ago the last prime minister of a country—that has lost its independence— used to live here. Kazi Lhendup Dorji, who died on 28 July this year at the ripe old age of 103, had played a pivotal role in the merger of Sikkim into India .



Dorji is seen as a ‘traitor’ in the contemporary history. He lived, and died, with the same ignominy. “Everybody accuses me of selling the country. Even if it is true, should I alone be blamed?” he asked me, when I met him in Kalimpong in November 1996. But the allegation of ‘betrayal’ towards one’s own motherland was so powerful that Dorji could no more lead an active political life. He spent his solitary life at the ‘Chakung House’ in Kalimpong for several decades. Few people chose to remember Kazi when he passed away nor took pain to recall his life and times.



So much so that the Kazi was ignored even by Delhi . “I went out of my way to ensure the merger of Sikkim into India but after the work was done, the Indians just ignored me,” Kazi told me during an interview for Jana Astha weekly, nearly 11 years ago. “Earlier, I used to be given a ‘Red Carpet’ welcome. Now I have to wait for weeks even to meet second grade leaders.”
When I visited Kalimpong for the second time in 2000, Lhendup’s anger towards Delhi had reached new heights. At one time, he was received warmly by Indian leaders including Jawaharlal Nehru and Mrs Indira Gandhi. But later he became a political actor whose utility had been finished and thrown away into the dustbin.

The origin of crisis



After India got independence in 1947, the Sikkim State Congress, which was established as per the advice of Nehru, launched anti-King movement. Sikkim managed to overcome the crisis then but after Indira Gandhi became Prime Minister of India, the tiny Himalayan kingdom found itself in a crisis from which it could never escape. The anti-King movement, launched by the Sikkim National Congress (SNC) under the leadership of Lhendup Dorji in 1973, led to the demise of a sovereign nation.



India openly supported the movement against King (Chogyal) Palden Thondup Namgyal. The then ADC to the King, Captain Sonam Yongda, claimed that soldiers of Indian Army in civil dress used to take part in the protests. Some of the protesters were brought from Darjeeling and the surrounding areas. The number of Sikkimese who took part in the protest was quite small. But that was enough.



Lhendup’s protest movement depended mainly on Indian financial assistance. The money was made available through Intelligence Bureau (IB). “The people from IB used to visit me twice or thrice a year. An IB agent, Tejpal Sen, used to handover money to me personally,” Dorji had told me in a recorded interview.



In fact, the main actor behind the “ Mission Sikkim ” was India ’s external intelligence agency, RAW (Research and Analysis Wing). Set up in 1968, RAW was able to disintegrate Pakistan (and form Bangladesh ) within three years. The annexation of Sikkim was their other ‘historic’ success. The strategists of RAW didn’t want to repeat a Bhutan in Sikkim . Bhutan managed to acquire the membership of the United Nations in 1968. So, they launched a movement under the leadership of Lhendup, which is described at great length by Ashok Raina in his book Inside RAW: The Story of India’s Secret Service.



Raina writes that New Delhi had taken the decision to annex Sikkim in 1971, and that the RAW used the next two years to create the right conditions within Sikkim to make that happen. The key here was to use the predominantly- Hindu Sikkimese of Nepali origin who complained of discrimination from the Buddhist king and the elite to rise up. “What we felt then was that the Chogyal was unjust to us,” said CD Rai, editor of Gangtok Times and ex-minister. “We thought it may be better to be Indian than to be oppressed by the king.”



Lhendup—who belonged to the Kazi family—had a historic enmity with Sikkim ’s ruling Chogyals. He said he wanted to pressurise the King through public protests but lamented that the King never came forward for reconciliation.



Under pressure from Delhi , the Sikkimese King was forced to hold tripartite talks with SNC and India . The talks not only curtailed royal powers, it also turned Sikkim into an Indian ‘protectorate.’ In the elections held in 1974, Lhendup’s SNC got overwhelming majority in the parliament. The government and the king saw each other as enemies. Ultimately, the cabinet meeting, on 27th March 1975 , decided to abolish monarchy. The Sikkimese parliament endorsed it and decided to hold a referendum on the future of monarchy. Four days later, the outcome of the poll in 57 stations across the country was: ‘Abolition of the monarchy.’
In an interview, then Agriculture Minister of Sikkim KC Pradhan recalled that the referendum was nothing but a charade. “Indian soldiers rigged the polls by pointing rifles at the hapless voters,” he said. Immediately after the referendum, Kazi Lhendup moved a motion in the parliament proposing that Sikkim be annexed to India . The 32-member parliament, which had 31 members from Lhendup’s SNC—passed the motion without a blink. Needless to say that the entire episode was being orchestrated by India. The then Indian envoy to Sikkim (known as ‘political officer’) BS Das wrote in his book The Sikkim Saga, Sikkim ’s merger was necessary for Indian national interest. And we worked to that end. Maybe if the Chogyal had been smarter, and played his cards better, it wouldn’t have turned out the way it did.”



But Chogyal didn’t play his cards well. When Sikkim was undergoing turmoil, the Chogyal visited Kathmandu in 1974 to attend the coronation ceremony of King Mahendra. According to insiders, King Birendra, Chinese deputy premier Chen Li Yan and Pakistan ’s envoy advised Chogyal not to return to Sikkim . “They narrated a ‘master plan’ to save Sikkim from Indian hands but the King didn’t accept,” said Captain Yongda. “It was because the King couldn’t think even in his dreams that India could use force to annex Sikkim .”





A ‘double game’


In fact, India was playing a ‘double game.’ On one hand, it was supporting Lhendup in whatever way possible against the King. On the other hand, it was assuring the king that monarchy would survive in Sikkim . The Chogyal was also an honorary Major General of the Indian Army. He never thought that his ‘own army’ would act against him. It was only an illusion.

The Chogyal of Sikkim was in his palace on the morning of 6 April 1975 when the roar of army trucks climbing the steep streets of Gangtok brought him running to the window. There were Indian soldiers everywhere, they had surrounded the palace, and shot rapid bursts of machine gun fire could be heard. Basanta Kumar Chhetri, a 19-year-old guard at the palace’s main gate, was struck by a bullet and killed—the first casualty of the takeover. The 5,000-strong Indian force didn’t take more than 30 minutes to subdue the palace guards who numbered only 243. By 12:45 pm it was all over, Sikkim ceased to exist as an independent kingdom.

The Chogyal also lost the second opportunity. The Sikkim Guards had the capacity to stop the Indian Army for two hours. If the Chogyal had informed Beijing and Islamabad about the Indian invasion from the transmitter set up at his palace, both the countries had assured him—during the Kathmandu meeting—that they would instruct their security forces to open fire along the borders with India . Chinese army could even travel to Gangtok to rescue the Chogyal.
Captured palace guards, hands raised high, were packed into trucks and taken away, singing: “Dela sil, li gi, gang changka chibso” (May my country keep blooming like a flower). But by then, the Indian tri-colour had replaced the Sikkimese flag at the palace where the 12th king of the Namgyal dynasty was held prisoner. “The Chogyal was a great believer in India. He had huge respect for Mahatma Gandhi and Jawaharlal Nehru. Not in his wildest dreams did he think India would ever gobble up his kingdom,” recalls Captain Sonam Yongda, the Chogyal’s aide-de-camp. Nehru himself had told journalist Kuldip Nayar in 1960: “Taking a small country like Sikkim by force would be like shooting a fly with a rifle.” Ironically it was Nehru’s daughter Indira Gandhi who cited “national interest” to make Sikkim the 22nd state of the Indian union.



During a meeting, former Chief Minister of Sikkim BB Gurung told me that the King and Lhendup were just fighting a proxy war. “The real battle was between an American and a Belgian lady.” If that was true, the real victor was the third lady—Indian Prime Minister Indira Gandhi.

Two Foreign Ladies


Chogyal Palden met the 24-year-old New Yorker, Hope Cook, in Darjeeling in 1963 and married her. For Cook, this was a dream come true: to become the queen of an independent kingdom in Shangri-la. She started taking the message of Sikkimese independence to the youth, and the allegations started flying thick and fast that she was a CIA agent. These were the coldest years of the Cold War, and there was a tendency in India to see a “foreign hand” behind everything so it was not unusual for the American queen to be labelled a CIA agent. However, as Hope Cook’s relations with Delhi deteriorated, so did her marriage with the Chogyal. In 1973, she took her two children and went back to New York . She hasn’t returned to Sikkim since.


Then there was Elisa-Maria, daughter of a Belgian father and German mother who left her Scottish husband in Burma and married Kazi Lhendup Dorji in Delhi in 1957. The two couldn’t have been more different. Elisa-Maria wanted to be Sikkim ’s First Lady, but Hope Cook stood in the way.
“She didn’t just want to be the wife of an Indian chief minister; she wanted to be the wife of the prime minister of an independent Sikkim .” With that kind of an ambition, it was not surprising that with annexation, neither Hope Cook nor Elisa-Maria got what they wanted.
Meanwhile, in New Delhi Indira Gandhi was going from strength to strength, and India was flexing its muscles. The 1971 Bangladesh war and the atomic test in 1974 gave Delhi the confidence to take care of Sikkim once and for all. Indira Gandhi was concerned that Sikkim may show independent tendencies and become a UN member like Bhutan did in 1971, and she also didn’t take kindly to the three Himalayan kingdoms, Bhutan, Sikkim and Nepal, getting too cosy with each other.


When the Indian troops moved in there was general jubilation on the streets of Gangtok. It was in fact in faraway Kathmandu that there were reverberations. Beijing expressed grave concern. But in the absence of popular protests against the Indian move, there was only muted reaction at the United Nations in New York. It was only later that there were contrary opinions within India —(Former Indian Prime Minister) Morarji Desai said in 1978 that the merger was a mistake. Even Sikkimese political leaders who fought for the merger said it was a blunder and worked to roll it back. But by then, it was already too late.



Lhendup Dorji became the first chief minister of the Indian state of Sikkim and retained the post until 1979. The Indian government conferred on him ‘Padma Bhusan’ in 2002 and he was also awarded the ‘Sikkim Ratna’ by the state government in 2004.


Despite such “rewards,” Lhendup and his wife Elisa spent their last years in Kalimpong repenting their past deeds. After the death of his wife in 1990, Lhendup was forced to lead a solitary life. He neither had any children nor relatives to take care of him. He cut himself off from his own people to avoid their wrath and hatred.


In the elections held in 1979, Lhendup’s SNC failed to bag even a single seat in the Sikkim ’s legislature. This effectively brought to an end to his political career. At one time, when he had gone to file his nomination, his name was missing from the electoral roll. In his resolve to dethrone the Chogyal dynasty that had 400-year-old history in Sikkim, Lhendup ended up delivering his motherland into the lap of India. In return, all he got was a life haunted from the shadow of the past and an ignominious death.

Guys you know what, i am tired of these lame hopes. Now all i care is only that one party rule the country in near future, whether it's a Congress, Communist, Maoist or even King, don't even care they all are from the same Dyang ko Mula. Atlleast there would not be a scene of freak market, they all think they can do whatever they want. Who's is asking public for opinions before taking steps??

If it is a true news then it is good for nepal and all nepalese. Kingships are dying everywhere else in the world, why we need one? Nepal is one of the poorest countries of the world we cannot afford to have king. Besides, nepal hasn't  got  full democracy ever. Even people have rights to vote, the king has been electing prime minister and the important cabinet members. King has been sacking the government whenever he wanted if the  primeminister and other members have not satisfied his wishes. King has all the power, he has armies back up. He is above the constitution and many more. Besides, this guy is not even a king who murdered his own brother for power. If a person can kill his own brother for power,he can do anything to remain in power. His murder son is even worse. Where on the world can person get away by murdering  2 people, except in nepal. Wake up people who are backing up king. Murder king doesn't care about people. Only things he cares about is power. No matter whether you are madhesi, gurung, tamang, bahun, chettris, rai,  limbu or others, we are all nepali and it is our country, lets unite and sack murderer. Don't fall on his dirty tricks and false hope.  We have already experienced his days and we have already suffered enough. Therefore, we don't need to practice again. I hate maoist. They are as worst as king. Maoist will also destroy the country. They don't have no plans except false hope and lip services. If maoist wins we won't get financial help from foreign countries and without finance we cannot do anything. Then our country will be like euthiopia and somalia. We want republic and full democracy. No Girija, no madhav nepal, no pashupati samser rana, no sahana pradhan. I mean no old dirty and filthy leaders. We need young  fresh blood  well educated leader, who is exposed to the outer world and most importantly who has a vision. We need representatives from all ethnic groups to represent them so that no body feel they are left behind. All those old creepy so called leaders need to retire. First of all they don't have any idea. Even if they have one, it is already outdated. Girja and so called old leadears are older than my granddad so how come their idea will match today's world. If these leaders don't have anything to do just do dharmakarma and for country's sake please empty the seat for the young ones for heaven's sake. Don't attach to the seat like leeches.
