National/Regional
By N.P. Upadhyaya
Kathmandu: The current Nepali politics is more than what meets the eye. In many more ways than one, India imposed republican order has exposed itself. Politics has derailed and is back to the erstwhile Panchayat System which was, needless to say, uprooted by the Indian regime itself – the recognized expansionist and interventionist.
A staunch supporter of the Indian establishment and an intimate friend of the RAW spy agency (India), KP Sharma Oli had to vacate his coveted chair in an enigmatic manner. The way he was “kicked out” from the Prime Ministerial chair very recently would go a long way in the annals of Nepali history, more so of the judicial one.
The cursed nation as it is taken.
In the name of establishing what is called “constitutionalism”, the Supreme Court not only amended the so-called political and constitutional “aberration” seen in the Nepali politics during President Bhandari-PM Oli’s dual “autocratic” regime, but many sharp constitutional brains believe that the Apex Court exceeded its judicial limits and “commanded” the sitting President to appoint Sher Bahadur Deuba the next Prime Minister replacing Oli. OK. Fine.
In doing so, the SC has not only exceeded its mandated judicial functions but has at a single stretch jolted the “universally accepted pillars” of democracy. The question: if the Court is to decide who should be the prime minister then why do we need parliamentary elections at regular intervals, also why do we need the Election Commission and even the Parliament!
Some plead that the Court took this “special” decision” as per the demands of a set of political personalities who were dead against KP Oli and had to accomplish a “special mission”. Can the court express its vengeance in its verdict against a political person? The Court can’t entertain the “appeal” of a set of politically motivated people who for some this or that reasons possess hatred for a special person which in our case was PM Oli. Isn’t it the adventurism of the Apex Court?
PM Oli is back where he should have been much ahead for his arrogance and running the State as per his whims supported by President Bhandari. That was too much. With due regards to the SC, we have the right to differ with the style it has strictly verbalized the President to appoint Deuba as the PM.
SC thus has set a very dangerous “judicial precedence” in the national politics which shall in many more ways than one gives to understand that henceforth SC shall determine the fate of the national politics. Perhaps it is the end of “democracy”, some say. However, some inclined constitutionalists have taken the SC’s fresh verdict as a “landmark” one to which it is surely not.
High placed sources inside the Nepali Congress whisper “India was behind” PM Oli’s unceremonious ouster. A high profile “legal brain” inside the Nepali Congress made this assertion which got leaked from those who were present at the time of this legal brain’s declaration.
This online portal thus benefitted from the “leaked information” which ought to be told to those who needed to know the political undercurrent that kicked out PM Oli – the darling of a set of the UML. But this should not mean that Oli was a perfect gentleman worth continuing in the coveted post.
He had, to be very frank, become already a national burden and the people awaited his ouster but through some established constitutional processes that are in practice universally in a democratic system. His summary ouster was quite unexpected but the haste with which he was made to quit the chair does tell that some clandestine efforts from external elements must have converged from all corners to unseat Oli.
The new Prime Minister Deuba is not a new personality for the country and the countrymen. Nor he is unknown to the country across the border in the South – that is the regional hooligan -Indian regime. He is very close to the all-time enemy neighbor-India, say high placed sources.
Though we have less information on whether the Deuba is India’s hand, however, what is sure that the Court appointed him perhaps he is preferred, it is so believed, by the developed West and may have been brought to “rule” Nepal for accomplishing some “special tasks” of some known and unknown quarters. Some even say that Deuba has been installed to perform some tasks that the previous PM loved to deny and hence the abrupt, unceremonious and unheard removal of Oli.
Highly placed political commentators take Deuba as a man intimate to the Indo-US lobby. This narrative has some logic, it appears, in that those who rushed to “congratulate” Prime Minister Deuba were none less than the US ambassador Randy Berry and the next one is our well-known micro-management specialist Indian ambassador Binay Quatra.
The “unlimited” fun is that neither the adjoining neighbor in the South Prime Minister Modi nor the northern neighbor President Xi Jinping has so far officially sent customary “congratulatory message to Prime Minister Deuba. (As of Friday, July 17 morning). The messages both from India and China are loud and clear.
But why Modi did not congratulate him? (Modi’s wishes have come just after Deuba won the confidence motion). No need to explain perhaps the results of the upcoming “intimacy of Deuba and Modi. Congrats.
That Deuba India’s hand came to true when India bend political parties, mainly the party led by Mahanta Thakur, too voted in favor of Deuba in the parliament just the other day. Thakur used to be a henchman of PM Oli till the previous week.
PM Oli too was a highly India-curve gentleman who had dared to invite the chief of India’s RAW, Samanta Kumar Goyal, who had secretly entered into the official residence of the Prime Minister, last year July which had created a furore in Nepal. Since the next day of this RAW chief Goyal’s entrance in Nepal, the national politics took a nosedive which continued till the day PM Oli was ousted through a Court’s order. Some say turning point wherein PM Oli changed his camp from North to South upon his meet with RAW Chief. However, others disagree with this camp change theory and say that PM Oli was never a China’s tail instead he used China as a political triumph card as and when he had to take some necessary stands that favored Nepal. China thus was for Oli simply a CARD.
Enters India:
Oli was the Indian target from day one when the former dared to incorporate “India captured territories” in the Western part of Nepal in the new political and administrative map of the country.
Those clearly “recognized” as India’s special men in Nepali politics stood against PM Oli as, hopefully, ordered and instructed by the Indian regime. Not sure but those who stood in opposing PM Oli’s courage in taking up a strong stand on the map issue were Madhav Kumar Nepal and a few more others right inside from the UML party itself.
Some NC leaders who possess the distinction in serving the Indian regime too were in the cavalcade against PM Oli for what they preferred to call a “misadventure” for which PM Oli would have to pay time permitting.
Undoubtedly, the Delhi trained and indoctrinated Dr Babu Ram Bhattarai too was a part of the same chain which acted against PM Oli supposedly under Indian instructions.
That the senior UML leader Madhab Kumar Nepal is an Indian hand man who got certified in the early 1990s when he “proposed” his party men to invite the Indian military to tame the then sitting King Birendra. Later, as the luck would have it, the King submitted to the demands of his own nationals rather than kneeling down to the “expansionist and interventionist” Indian regime.
Nepal is also taken as the man who sacked sharp-brain Communist intellectual Chandra Prakash Mainali (nicknamed CP) from the UML as he could not (read Nepal) stand to the academic ability of Mainali. Mainali currently heads a one-man Communist party.
Nepal also has been allegedly found heavily engaged in the Lalita Nivas land scam. He has the distinction of serving Korea’s Christian world and is believed that he is already a Pastor who brought the holy wine culture to Nepal.
He led the nation as PM even when he was badly defeated in the parliamentary elections from two different constituencies. India vetoed Madhav Nepal to PM’s sit. Nepal is either involved himself in the killing of Madan Bhandari or at least he knows who may have killed the veteran Communist leader of the UML. MK Nepal was the go-between the Nepali Maoists and the Indian government. MK Nepal is serving India for a long period. Nepal did his job, it is said, through India ambassador Shyam Saran. This then means that Nepal was serving India’s brainchild the Maoists and thus cheat his own nation. Nepal was got birth in adjoining India’s Bihar province and thus his “socialization” with India is just natural. If Nepal has done so much wrong then he deserves penal actions from the State.
Enters Prachanda:
No further statement on Prachanda is needed as he stands exposed as the “brainchild” of India. He was not only trained and indoctrinated by India but was also used and overused as a pawn many times in the past. Prachanda stayed in India for a decade-plus enjoying the Indian regime’s hospitality from where he broke the nation politically, economically, and socially.
If Prachanda was in the forefront together with Madhav Nepal then it becomes easier as to who or which force(s) could have dared to oust Oli? That India engineered the “throw Oli out” campaign gets reflected when a hardliner Indian envoy Ranjeet Rae says that whatever Nepali Court did was what had to be done. This clearly explains which force was behind Oli’s ouster. Ambassador Rae is the one who kept Nepal in his “grip” when he was in Kathmandu. He Rawfied Nepali media though the credit goes to Shaym Saran who is talked to be the “father” of Nepal’s new republican order.
Conclusion:
The high voltage “staged” political drama has come to an end with PM Deuba bagging 165 votes against 83 in the Parliament. However, yet another fierce conflict is round the corner, hopefully from those who felt defeated. The drama was necessarily staged as per the desires and the necessities of some “powers” near and far.
Deuba had to be lifted to this key post in order to make an easy passage to some key “works” that will unfold in the days ahead. The total is that it appeared to be a play initiated to serve the intrinsic-strategic interests of some external forces. Who the external force are? Keep on guessing.
Deuba’s selection for the new Prime Minister speaks so many things unspoken. China is weak in Nepal got testified which means that India has no match in Nepal.
Take it this way: Nepal has become a playground of powerful power centers. Rest draw your desired conclusions now. Let me now wind up my story by borrowing few “pinching” lines from what our professional colleague Bijaya Aryal writes on the fresh political events.
Aryal writes: “Yesterday Oli, today Deuba. What’s the difference? For the country and the people, they are two sides of the same Indo-Western coin? On MCC, citizenship, and many other issues, their anti-Nepal-stands are similar”.
That’s all.
