NP Upadhyaya, Kathmandu: Nepal Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli’s arrogance has quadrupled over these days and weeks more so after he signed an “unequal treaty” with declared secessionist Dr. CK Raut wherein the latter duped, many a sharp brains believe, Prime Minister Oli in a broad day light.

But PM Oli is in a jubilant mood and rebukes that he has instead brought the ‘Raut factor’ to the mainstream politics of the nation.

Raut so far after signing of the agreement with the State has not spelt even a single word and has acquired a mode of silence which gives some space to suspect his very changed political credentials.

Raut’s enigmatic silence though is being interpreted by the men in the government suiting to their needs, however, revulsion to this arrangement is increasing among the Nepal’s academic sector which has now trickled down to each and every levels of the society.

(Raut is busy, we have been told, in works for the launching of a new political party and hopes to make his dream come true through this political outfit).

From advocate Swagat Nepal, Former bureaucrat Dr. DN Dhungel, Military man Dr. PS Basnyat, Lawyer Surendra Bhandari and Professor Dr. Surendra KC to the self-declared messiah of Madhesh Rajendra Mahato and many more are there to have denounced this arrangement which PM Oli inked with Raut under the pressure expectedly from some extraneous forces wherein he even brought the Nepal’s Apex Court in a controversy thereby sending a negative signal to the world at large that Nepal’s Judicial system has become a tool to be twisted by the chief of the Executive.

Very unfortunate that it was, said advocate Swagat Nepal talking to this scribe over phone the other day.

Mr. Nepal is a teacher of International Law in Kathmandu.

The social awareness is thus increasing each day and PM Oli is being equated with those who wish to split the nation under pressure from certain alien quarters.

Or in other words, Oli is taken as a secessionist.

PM Oli may not be a political personality who has some tacit linkages with Dr. Raut’s “ultimate” secessionist designs, however, the circumstantial evidences surfaced so far does hint that Oli and some members of his cabinet team are being used and over used by some external elements to break Nepal into several pieces.

PM Oli may not even be in knowledge that he is being used. But the fact is that he has already been used.

Leaving PM Oli in Kathmandu to tackle with the non-ending Nepali ailments, the former New Delhi man is currently in the United States of America-the boss of the Imperialist world as the communists in Nepal including Maoists Chief Prachanda pronounced each and every second at time of the fake and the Delhi sponsored people’s war.

Prachanda who has the distinction for having killed some seventeen thousand innocent lives during the fake people’s war, is in the USA for the “free treatment” of his wife Mrs. Sita Dahal.

The US stands for justice, we have been told.

Mrs. Dahal is being treated at the Baltimore based Johns Hopkins hospital in the US.

He is here to dupe the US, the men who understand him better conclude.

US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo must understand this fact prior to coming to a hasty conclusion as regards the visiting Maoists leader that is Prachanda.

The man who should have been in The Hague tribunal for his past war crimes is in the USA. This is unfortunate.

Let’s see the trick(s) how he made his forced entry into the good book of the US which to the Nepali population appeared remote till a day ahead of his departure to the US.

However some extra clever brains who knew Prachanda from his Rampur College days (when he was a student at the Agriculture Campus) were sure that this clever Brahmin (sorry to say) will make his way to the US even if he has to play foul with the entire US administration. He won the “structured” play.

He tricked the US.

Prachanda first took the courage to irritate the US administration for having poked its nose in the Venezuelan affairs.

He was sure that in doing so, he will attract the attention of the US.

He used some abusive words against the US and then the nervous US Ambassador in Kathmandu rushed, as expected, to see Prachanda at his private residence and assured the former rebel leader that his country was ready to offer free treatment to his wife in the USA.

The moment Ambassador Randy Berry conveyed the US message to Prachanda privately, the Delhi man of the Maoists era changed the image of the US from imperialist to a savior.

To recall, the US was one of the first few countries to have declared the Nepal Maoists as a terrorist outfit.

( I recall now that when the Maoists terror associated with its wanton killings were at its peak in Nepal, one US scholar named Thomas Mark was in Kathmandu who had briefed some Nepali media men as to what extent the Maoists were dangerous not only for Nepal but for entire South Asia. The US Ambassador to Nepal was perhaps Michael E Malinowski when Thomas Mark had visited Nepal. I was also in the small group to have been briefed by Mark Thomas. It was around this time perhaps one US embassy security officer was gunned down by the Nepal Maoists).

Now the question arises as to why and for what gains the US offered olive branch to the one from Nepal who was a declared terrorist in the eyes of the American administration?

Why the US love suddenly erupted for Prachanda?

It is definitely not, let’s guess for some time now, free. The US prefers now a strong man in Kathmandu to advance the scope and the reach of Indo-Pacific strategy by entrusting a key role to Prachanda.

But Prachanda is a New Delhi’s tested man and thus he can any time cheat the US as per the instructions of the Indian regime. Take it for granted.

The US must understand that a man who has deceived his own mother country, how can he remain loyal to the US?

The US is thus advised not to take this unstable political personality in good faith as he can double cross the US by informing both New Delhi and Beijing about how the men in the White House tried to seduce him and told him to work for the US upon his Kathmandu return.

The chances remain high that Comrade Prachanda, the bogus communist leader as he is being taken in Nepal, may purposely drip this secret talks that he may have had with the US officials, for example Alice G Wells, to the men in New Delhi who provided him with a base in India to pounce upon Nepal just some years back.

The US prior to taking Prachanda in its good book must take note of the appeal made by Dr. Tilak Shrestha, a highly qualified Nepali intellectual residing in Kentucky, USA, who has demanded some legal actions be taken against visiting Nepal Maoists leader for having killed 17, 000 innocent lives in the name of the People’s War in Nepal.

Prachanda who is friendly with the Americans at the moment may once again hit the country when he is back in Nepal upon the completion of Sita Dahal’s treatment.

The US must find some time to study to what Tilak Shrestha, a Kentucky man, demands from the US, Mr. Shrestha naturally demands that Prachanda be taken to task by the US administration and let the world’s peace loving people understand that the US stands against all forms of terrorism including those that rocked Nepal for over a decade or so in the recent past.

Having said all these, the Nepali intellectuals remain askance as to how and why the US became so weak in its dealing with the fake Maoists leader-a billionaire now in Nepal and treated him as the one who as if is a recognized statesman of South Asia.

He is the most unstable person in South Asia instead. Prachanda is a bogus communist leader. He is, at best the man of Delhi who could expand his relations, if he so desires, with any country in the globe if such an expansion of the ties benefit his private politics.

Yes he can create problems for China if the US so desires. Prachanda has his own personal scores to be settled with Beijing. However, one fine morning he may inform, as is his habit, Beijing that he did all these as per the instructions of the US.

And here is a clear warning to all.

He can never be a trusted man of the US and China for he is the trusted and tested man of Delhi, as stated earlier.

The US would wish to use Prachanda to remain ever sensitive towards the Tibetan refugees residing in Nepal. The US would wish that Prachanda uses his good office and impress upon the Nepal government led by PM KP Oli to honor the basic Human Rights of the Tibetans living in Nepal and that the Tibetans be granted asylum in Nepal for all time to come.

It would not be out of place to mention here that in a letter recently sent to Nepal PM Oli by US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo appealing the Prime Minister to remain sensitive towards the Tibetans living in Nepal and that they be awarded a friendly and compassionate treatment to such refugees from Tibet on humanitarian grounds.

If so then that should mean by extension that the US too should show compassion towards the Nepali nationals who too have fled Nepal for the US and other countries to avert the threat of being attacked by the former Maoists whose Chief is currently visiting the US for his consort’s treatment. But is the US administration too sensitive towards those Nepali nationals who have entered the US to save their lives from the possible Maoists attacks?

Those who have fled Nepal for fear of the Maoists expect that they be awarded justice on humanitarian grounds much the same way Nepal based Tibetans demand from the Nepal Government.

The Tibetans want to live in Nepal free from the fear of being deported to China by Nepal government.

Mind it that the Maoists party led by Netra Bikram Chand is still kicking and alive in Nepal which means that the threat remains intact for those who left Nepal for good in order to save their lives from any possible attacks from the party of the dangerous rebels.

Mr. Chand and Prachanda were housed in the same Party in the days of the chaotic people’s war-the war which they both operated from New Delhi.

But Biplav is now the target of PM Oli and his government. Is it that Biplav has not yet been tamed by New Delhi? Great injustice indeed.

Twelve years after Nepal conflict, justice eludes victims.

Process put in place to deal with the crimes committed has made little progress, leaving some fearing for their safety, so writes Subina Shrestha for Al Jazeera.

Is the US and the Democratic West listening? Perhaps not!
