Despotism in Nepal
Maoists prepare for dictatorship (http://dailypioneer.com/indexn11.asp?main_variable=Edits)
Nepal's Maoists have once again demonstrated that it is they, and not the seven-party alliance which Prime Minister GP Koirala leads, who call the shots. After forcing the Government to eat humble pie and accept their outrageous -- as well as illegitimate -- demands on abolishing the monarchy, declaring Nepal a 'secular republic' and drafting a Constitution that is an expanded version of Chairman Mao Tse-tung's Little Red Book, the Maoists have announced that henceforth the birthday of North Korea's despotic ruler Kim Jong-il (February 16), the birth anniversary of his father Kim Il-sung, a tyrant (April 15), and the founding day of the 'Democratic People's Republic of North Korea' (September 9) will be included in Kathmandu's list of official celebrations. This will surprise only those who had foolishly elected to repose their trust in Prachanda and his brigands, insisting that democratic politics would 'mainstream' the ruthless practitioners of violent politics. The UPA Government is among those who now look utterly stupid for failing to recognise the Maoists for what they are: Unabashed admirers of tyranny and despotism. Of course, the CPI(M), which forced the Prime Minister to back the Maoists and abandon our traditional support for Narayanhity Palace, would rejoice in the latest development. Given half a chance, the Marxists would place February 16 above our National Day and queue up to salute Mr Kim Jong-il. As for the UN, which brokered the 'mainstreaming' of Prachanda and his thugs, it stands exposed, though not for the first time, as a toothless, spineless wonder. The EU, which is usually the first to embrace Prachanda's ilk across the world, remains no more than a doormat, happy to be trampled upon. All this leaves Nepal and its people at the mercy of Prachanda who, we can now say with some certainty, will fashion himself after both Pol Pot and Mr Kim Jong-il after the sham election scheduled for April, and convert Kathmandu into Pyongyang. In that once happy, if not prosperous, land, fear shall rule with a heavy hand.
