Gajurel  – Govt Conspiring to Bring Sponsored Constitution

Republica

Kathmandu, May 12: UCPN (Maoist) Secretary CP Gajurel  claimed on Saturday that the government and major political parties were creating an environment to impose state of emergency  for what he called promulgating a ‘sponsored constitution’.

Addressing a program organized to launch a book ‘Nepali Janayudhha’ (People’s War) authored by Dr. Rishi  Raj Baral at the factional headquarters of Maoist party’s Senior vice-chairman Mohan Baidya in Kupandole, Gajurel said in a veiled language that the new constitution has already been drafted in India.

He alleged that Chairman Pushpa Kamal Dahal and the Prime Minister and party Vice Chairman Baburam, along with the leaders of Nepali Congress. UML, and Madhesi parties were trying to endorse a ‘ready-made’  constitution on May 27th even though they seem busy in political negotiations these days.

Gajurel alleged that they were trying to create social discord among various ethnic groups  to prepare grounds for imposing state of emergency.

“The government is itself provoking inter-caste conflicts  to create an environment for imposing state emergency to promulgate the sponsored constitution on May 27,” said Gajurel.

He claimed that the “sponsored constitution” would have been promulgated already had their faction not opposed the view of the party chairman Dahal. “But we did not agree as it was against the party’s line,” said Gajurel.

Addressing the function, Senior vice-chairman  Mohan Baidya claimed that there was no chance of promulgating ‘people’s constitution’.

Baidya was particularly harsh on the Baburam Bhattarai-led government. He termed the current government ‘fascist’ and alleged that the government forcibly evicted squatters from Thapathali and opened fire at peaceful protestors. “It is a matter of shame to say that this government is led by Maoists,” he said.

He also said that his faction would not agree with the 11 province federal model. “The 14-province federal model is b est suited for Nepal,” he added.

  1. It is baseless allegation against the present government in nepal. If the Nepali constitution is drafted in India, Mr. Gajurel must have the information of the names of the writers and masters. So Mr Garurel should get their names to the light of the world. If indian Marxists under the direction of the upa government dares to draft the nepali constitution, Ms. Mamata Benerji could not become the Chief Minister to West Bengal which was the strong hold state for marxist party since last 40 years.

    This sentence fails to make much sense.

    The influence of India over CPUML and NC leadership and Bhattarai are no secret.
    One wonders how a new constitution that was blocked for so long by CPUML and NC has been facilitated with speed.
