Himalayan Dawn: people take over Nepal, Bhutan
[TamilNet, Thursday, 17 April 2008, 03:40 GMT]
With the epoch-making electoral verdict for the Constituent Assembly of Nepal, ultra-Marxists have captured the reins of a country, that too in a democratic process, for the first time in the history of South Asia. The Maoists, who were waging an armed struggle for structural changes in Nepal were self reliant, antagonists of the Indian orbit of manoeuvring and have been listed as ‘terrorists’ by the USA. The winners have announced to make Nepal a federal democratic republic.
Pro monarchy loyalists and anti federal nationalists were routed out in the Nepali elections.
Pressure is mounting on the United States to remove the terrorist tag of the Communist Party of Nepal (Maoist) (CPN(M)) (also known as United Revolutionary People’s Council, and People’s Liberation Army of Nepal) from the Terrorist Exclusion List of 59 organisations, which is just one step milder than the list of Foreign Terrorist Organisations in which the LTTE and 43 other organisations are included.
