Prithvi Narayan Shah: Monster Of Injustice
Siddhi B Ranjitkar
Followers of the monster of injustice celebrated the 293rd birth anniversary of Prithvi Narayan Shah on Poush 27 (January 10, 2015 this year). Prithvi Narayan Shah laid the foundation of injustice that had continued for 240 years in Nepal. Some politicians, comedian and journalists rejoiced at the birth anniversary of the monster of injustice.
Former prime ministers such as Lokendra Bahadur Chand, and Madhav Nepal, former ministers such as Kamal Thapa and Dr Prakash Chandra Lohani proudly marched on the streets and reached the statue of the monster of injustice Prithvi Narayan Shah and garlanded him in the statue honoring his disgraceful deeds of injustices done to the almost one hundred percent of the Nepalese. Only a tiny percentage of Nepalese including the people holding power benefited from the inconceivably outrageous rule of injustice for 240 years.
Not surprisingly, Lokendra Bahadur Chanda, and Kamal Thapa had been for reinstating injustice in Nepal. They had made fortunes during the 30 years of injustice rule of the Panchayat system introduced by another monster killer of democracy, justice and rule of law Mahendra Shah in 1962. Madhav Nepal also had not been very much different from these Panchayati monsters of injustice. He made a fortune during his tenure as prime minister despite being defeated in two constituencies in the general elections held in 2008. He looted the national treasury to the extent possible. No doubt, he had to be the faithful servant to the monster of injustice for justifying his felony.
Surprisingly, comedian Santosh Panta also had been at the statue of monster of injustice Shah at Singhadurbar on January 10, 2015 for marking the day of the monster of injustice. He even demanded a national holiday for celebrating the day of the monster of injustice. He even said, "If we have a national holiday for celebrating the first day of 'magha' why we should not have a day off for celebrating the day of Prithvi." He forgot that the 'magha' first was the day of exceptionally important for the Nepalese in general. Panta could not even think of why Nepalese would celebrate such a black day of the birth anniversary of the monster of injustice.
Artists are normally the honorable citizens and they even get the status of celebrities. However, comedian Panta had degraded his status of one of the followers of the monster of injustice. To be honorable, any artists or comedians needed to be the artists and comedians of the common folks rather than being loyal to the monster of injustice.
Some journalists and newspapers also had been attempting to justify the injustice in Nepal writing the flowery articles on the monster of injustice Shah. One of the journalists wrote an article and posted online praising the monster. Not coincidently, I noticed his office decorated with the pictures of Prithvi Narayan Shah, Jung Bahadur Rana, and Adolf Hitler behind his picture posted on the online newspaper in which his interview was published. He was one hundred percent correct for keeping the pictures of Hitler, Jung Bahadur and Prithvi Narayan Shah at the same level if he had the right to praise Prithvi Shah.
Attending the tea party hosted by notorious follower of injustice Kamal Thapa to mark the 293rd birth anniversary of Prithvi, Prime Minister Sushil Koirala did great injustice to the rule of justice and law. Chairman of Constituent Assembly Subhas Nemwang also attended the same tea party. It is shame on the Nepalese particularly on those that had elected Nemwang to such a most responsible position of the chairman of the constituent assembly, and Sushil Koirala to the most responsible position of prime minister of Nepal. Would the constitution crafted under such a chairperson be an inclusive?
Prime Minister Sushil Koirala must have forgotten that his mentor BP Koirala had wasted the whole life not to mention the millions of lives of the ordinary folks because he could not throw away the monsters of injustice at the right time. All Koirala families including Sushil suffered from the disastrous Shah rulers for many years but Prime Minister Sushil Koirala had no regret for attending the tea party hosted in honor of the monster of injustice.
Kamal Thapa was a culprit that Prime Minister Koirala needed to bring to justice rather than honoring him attending the tea party he hosted for marking the birth anniversary of monster of injustice. Kamal Thapa was the home minister at the time of the people's movement in 2006. He was responsible for the death of so many people that fought for justice. He also took out Rs 500,000 from the bank every day for suppressing the people's movement and many more. Prime Minster Koirala had enough counts of criminal activities of Thapa to bring him to justice. Not bringing criminals to justice, Prime Minister Koirala himself became liable for criminal charges.
Former Prime Minister Lokendra Bahadur Chanda had a criminal background, too. He broke in the office of the RPP. Its Chairman Pashupati Shumsher Rana had publicly told that he could have brought a criminal charge against Chand for breaking in the office but he was not doing so. So, it was no wonder such a man with a criminal background was celebrating the monster of injustice.
Other so-called intellectuals such as Modnath Prasit, Drighraj Prasai and Dr Ramesh Dhungel to name a few had actively celebrated the anniversary of the monster of injustice. They clearly wanted to restore the 240-year of injustice in Nepal. These poor fellows pretending to be the intellectuals and writing the deceptive articles dreamed to bring injustice to the people again. They forgot that Nepalese had been living in the 21st century. Nepalese had been quite different from what they had been in the past but the poor intellectuals could not keep up with the change in time and situation. Nepalese would never tolerate injustice again no matter what the followers of the monster of injustice attempt to do.
No matter whether they went to garland the statue of the monster of injustice at Singhadurbar or went to the drink the tea at the Kamal Thapa's place, they had been for following the injustice. People would bring them to justice if the law enforcement people would not do so.
For the Nepalese that had suffered for 240-year rule of injustice, and some of them continued to suffer from the injustices imposed from that time, the birth anniversary of Prithvi Narayan Shah had been the reminder of injustice, exploitation, sufferings from not having the rights to earn livelihood and live as humans for 240 years. Such things should come to an end, and end to all the followers of the monster of injustice.
