There is no doubt the blockade is done by INDIAN GOVERNMENT. Have you read interviews of several leaders from Congress, UML, RPP-NEPAL, and maoists? They have not openly said it is done by indian government. Gagan Thapa, rising star (LOL), gave the interview saying it's not India.
I support this protest. Is there any way we can also pressure our government to be serious? PM is busy buying ipad and organizing parties, and transferring the officials for CASH.
I agree partially with Donald Duck; our government showed apathy towards madheshis including several commentators here. I've written on other threads also, EX-PM Koirala and Bam Dev are one of the reasons we've blockade; failure of their tenure lead to present crisis.
Why haven't top government officials gone to any of the areas of protests? Are these not located inside Nepal?
Why were government imposing curfews for days and days at these regions (before India's blockade)? Nepali media and people cared the least for the plight of these people then.
It is EASIER to blame India, than also seeing the fault of us. I'm not saying India is not evil. There is no doubt it wants to engulf Nepal. But what can we do when our government goes on celebrating the blockade? If amassing wealth from people's plight with the commission of black marketing of fuel is not celebration, what it is? Why has GM of NOC not been sacked yet when he was caught stealing fuel? Nepal police has been accused of being culprit in black marketing.
When we've so much weaknesses and become BLIND to faults of our people and keep on accusing India, things are not going to be solved that way either.
Kiddo, can you tell what you will do? Does leaders care what we say?
If I were in the government, I'd have first gone to talk with madhesh and talk with people. I agree that top leaders of madhesh are working for Indian government and are ready to sell Nepal for the post of Chief Minister, but so is Baburam Bhattarai, and probably Oli, Koirala, or Prachanda. Why has not government initiated to show its presence in madhesh except the brutality of police force? There're people like CK LAL, Tula Narayan Shah, and Dipendra Jha, who I believe are not very biased. We don't want to listen to talk to them either. But Oli or Koirala is busy enjoying the prime ministerial position. If Nepal government was ready to air lift the fuel and did so, why hasn't government been serious to air lift the medicines?
Who is stopping to have agreement with China?
- Makune has openly accused nepali government officials without officially naming them. Roads to Indian borders were not repaired. Children of present chief of road department is said to be on the indian embassy's scholarship.
- Ex-Finance Minister Mahat was accused of not providing sufficient funds for the repairs.
- Current GM of NOC had created artificial scarcity of cooking gas few months ago and is said to earn millions of rupees from it. He is expert in cashing from the scarcity. When he is caught with evidence for corruption, why has government not done anything? Because they also get the commission.
Noone ever blames Krishna Prasad Situala for the current crisis. He almost became the President of Nepal. He was accused openly on "gorkapatra" by the people from his own party for selling millions of citizenships to Indian nationals.
We don't want to talk anything about the rotten ones on our side and pressuring the government to remove them?
At last, protesting on foreign land against India is one of the thing we could do to gain international coverage of indian hedgemony. It should have been done earlier, not late yet.
