Heard it thru the grapevine......King G has decided to cancel the UN trip due to certain political scenario unfolding in Nepal. Considering that the dissenting political parties are on the verge of collaborating with the Maoists.

"The Fierce One" declaring unilateral "cease-fire" for three months has provided the right impetus in the minds of many in the 7-party to form an alliance with the Maoists in its quest to dethrone King G.

Also heard: Prachanda was received at Indian PM's office in New Delhi before he made the "cease-fire" statement.

I guess all of Nepe's placards and black flags has to go into storage! :)

Yea heard that this morning hehee, what a coward. :D

it is not true guys, i just called king's personal secretary Pashupatibhakta Maharjan and he told that it is just a rumour...King G is coming to New York.............Everybody, please be alert in Blag Fllags............

The rumor-mongering and the rumor that the King is going to cancel his visit to the UN was already discussed by the organizers and an alert not to pay attention to this kind of rumor has been sent to all co-coordinators and volunteers including this scribe.

As for my guess, I don't see what the King can gain by not attending the UN assembly.

Even if he fails to show up and the organizers of the protest rally cancel the program, it won't matter much. The objective of the black flags is already achieved, thanks to the promotional publicity by the organizers and protest publicity by the pro-king quarters.

King?s UN visit cancelled

KOL Report

KATHMANDU, Sept 6 - King Gyanendra?s proposed UN visit has been cancelled, according to a highly placed government source.
The sources on Monday disclosed that the government has cancelled the booking of the plane of the national flag carrier, RNAC, signaling that the monarch?s visit stands cancelled.

The monarch was scheduled to visit New York to address the 60th session of the UN General Assembly on September 16, which was to be attended by heads of states of more than 170 countries from across the world.

Now the country would be represented by Minister for Foreign Affairs, Ramesh Nath Pandey, although, the list of other officials accompanying Pandey has not been fixed as yet.

The development comes two days after Chairman of the Communist Party of Nepal (Maoist) Prachanda announced a three-month unilateral ceasefire on Saturday. Prachanda had also called on UN involvement in resolving the ongoing conflict. (hb)

ओके

I can't believe that Gyane could be so darpok. He needs to stay in the veil ( Parda) and never get out at all.

Nepe-Guru,

Rumor mongering or not....you just got the news, didn't you? "This scribe" remains cynical as ever.

je kura pani propoganda sochi dine...original training ta Communist kai ta ho ni....ahile po "republican democracy advocate" phase ma aiiya cha.....america ma basse pachi....when in rome, do like the romans ta garnai paryo ni, ki kaso?

i wish Nepe and othes who have black flags to show them whoever come from Nepal......Paisa po pareko chha ta flag lai haina

Hey guys, it is an another unimaginable catastrophe! Gyane ta atibatho rahecha yar.
Who know! It seems like we are getting a chance to call republic of Nepal. In USA we show him Kalo Jhanda; on other hand, all party in Nepal might block him from entering to the Rajdarbar once he left ,,,,,,,,,,, same thing happened in NP history (Do you know Gyane read shah history 2).
Anyway, he is the most coward king of Nepal, who got Raj-gaddi luckily and now he doesn't want to lose because of his US visit.
America auna paya Nepali 2nd masan ghat (arya Ghat pachi ko), Raja haru marine thau, lai goli mardiya pani hunnethiyo. Gyane Mulako pani keko tauko dukheko Masan ghat(rajdarbar) kurnna lai.
Yatro khau Mula ho, kalo jhanda badi and welcome badi(chakdi badi). Gyane is not coming, I am sure.

Maoist Setting Agenga for Nepal?

All are welcoming the ceasefire of maoist. The donors, neighbors, the public, the political parties, UN......

It took 72 hours for PURANO Satta to decide what to do!!!!!!!!!!!

Hulaki had always believed:
"no one can stop the IDEA whose TIME has COME......."

Bravo. The COUNT DOWN Has Begun.

I heard that Bush moro le Gyane lai banquent ma bolayena re. Tyo list ma Castro ra Gyane samet char jana anya head of state channa re (aru ko ko huna sakchhan??). Yo bejati baat bachanna pani yo moro Amrika nagayeko hola. Ani arko kura dherai jaso head of state including Tony Blair, George Bush denied meeting Gyane. It was only Musaraff who assured meeting him in US. Baaki kura US ma bhayeka Sajhabaasi le investigate garnu paryo.

hehe...

Finally King G has learnt to bow, at least once. From here the way is down the hill, I beileve. I'm really not satisfied yet, but at least one score up for republicans! But beware the King might play foul!

Although this is a welcome SIGN, it has yet to take the form of a CONCRETE FACT -- they have cancelled the RNAC charter, but he can always fly first class to NY. It could very well be a ploy to dampen the anti-King movement in the US that has picked up significant pace in the recent weeks.

"नखाम भने दिन भरिको शिकार, खाम भने कान्छा बौ को अनुहार" भो' होला राजालाई, कठै! Damed if he does, damned if he doesn't. Whatever the case, I hope those involved in anti-King movement in the US will hardly call it a rest. For one thing, we should be more energized by the recent developments in Nepal, and for another, our scheduled protest was NOT against the individual King to begin with anyway. So, whoever represents the Nepali delegation to the UN also represents the current repressive regime there. Therefore, we will have every reason to be present at the rally in front of the UN on the 16th!

yes Poonte, the money received from sujata/girija/mridula needs to be justified, regardless, isn't it??? otherwise, they will come and stick a 6 inch from your behind, I mean they will perfom (AN@L S3X) kya or they might send AN@LKSH@HI from N.Y hai... but you did came with quite a creative idea to show flags to chor ramesh pandey. Now I know, why they pay you (poonte) to be on sajha all day, hoina ta khakaji, kaso???

Sep. 6 2005

His Excellency Kofi Annan
Secretary General
The United Nations

Yoru Excellency:

Please accept our greetings and highest feelings of appreciation for the keen interest and genuine concern you have taken on Nepal's political affairs. We feel duty-bound as representatives of the seven major political parties of Nepal to report you on the current state of political affairs of our country and to explain why the current council of ministers formed under the chairmanship of King Gyanendra Bir Bikram Shah has no legitimate authority to represent the sovereign people of our country.

As you are aware, King Gyanendra Bir Bikram Shah, on February 1, 2005, unconstitutionally appointed himself as the chairman of the council of ministers, usurped all the executive powers of the state, proclaimed state of emergency in the entire country, arrested a large number of political leaders and workers and human rights activists, suspended major fundamental rights of citizens, imposed travel restrictions on political and civil society leaders and curtailed press freedom. The February 1 royal take over in essence represents the ultimate step in the process of consolidating political power by King Gyanendra that he initiated by arbitrarily dismissing the constitutionally elected government on October 4, 2002. The world community has rightly concluded that the royal take over has been a massive setback to democracy and constitutionalism in Nepal.

The Constitution of the Kingdom of Nepal 1990 enshrined the aspirations of the Glorious People's Movement of 1990 that brought the authoritarian Panchayat regime led by absolute monarchy to an end. The constitution ushered in the multiparty democracy based on the principle that sovereignty is vested in the people. In line with modern democratic constitutions of the world, Nepali constitution also explicitly provides for separation of power among three branches of government, establishes various constitutional mechanisms to guarantee civil, political and human rights of its citizens including free press, recognizes the parliament as a supreme body to express the will of the sovereign people, and recognizes political parties as integral and inalienable parts of the political process. The royal take over is in complete breach of all these principles. Following the undemocratic and unconstitutional royal take over. King Gyanendra has appointed his puppet cabinet, destroyed democratic institutions and rule of law, and issued executive orders and ordinances infringing fundamental civil, political and human rights. The King has constituted a supra and unconstitutional body called Royal Commission for Control of Corruption, in parallel to an already existing constitutional body, with the motive of political vendetta against political leaders opposed (to) the royal take over. Likewise, the King has created various illegitimate authorities e. g., regional and zonal administrators with unlimited power vested on them to primarily repress and intimidate the democratic opposition to his absolute regime. The King has nominated his loyalists to otherwise elected positions of district development committees to consolidate

his position. The King's handpicked council of ministers, as it comprises of notorious criminals, perpetrators of human rights violations and willful loan defaulters, is a matter of disgrace and dishonor to the nation. The country is now ruled by the absolute law of force.

King Gyanendra in a desperate attempt to justify his authoritarian rule, has been trying to mislead the world community by portraying the political choice in Nepal as being one between peace and terrorism. he has been insistently and adamantly pursuing a military solution to the problem of Maoist insurgency that our country has been witnessing for almost a decade now. The King, through a series of actions, following the royal takeover, made the chances for the peaceful solution of the violent conflict even more remote.

The international community has made clarion calls to the insurgents to respect the norms of the international humanitarian law, renounce the path of violence and enter the process of dialogue to establish lasting peace in the country. Nepali people have also clearly recognized and many times amply affirmed their faith on a democratic and political solution to this violent conflict. Respecting and recognizing Nepali people's longing for peace and international community's considered opinion, we have been trying our best to explore with all political actors, including the insurgents, the political parameters within which a peaceful solution to the present crisis is possible. We will be failing in our duty, as the leaders of responsible political parties, if we shy away from it. We have, as representatives of seven major political parties, come together and made public our common platform in which we propose the reinstatement of the Third House of Representatives, formation of a government of all party consensus, free, fair and peaceful elections to the constituent assembly following peace negotiations with the insurgent Maoists, and inclusive restructuring of the state as a way out of the current crisis.

We fully appreciate and count on your esteemed leadership of the United Nations to pursue and uphold the ideals of peace, democracy, constitutionalism, rule of law, respect for human dignity, unfettered enjoyment of civil, political and human rights and inclusive pluralistic society for all the people to realize their full potential to make our world a more kinder and gentler place. At this critical juncture in the history of Nepal, we need greater support and understanding of international community to stop our country from sliding towards a failed state. Not just political but also all economic indicators point to our heading in that direction. The positive gains that the country made towards achieving the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) during democracy are being reversed after the royal takeover. We ardently hope that the international community understands the moral imperative to reprimand and censure the unabated regression represented by the authoritarian and absolute monarchical rule in Nepal. Hence, we, the undersigned representatives of the seven major political parties that together constituted ninety-five percent of the members of the last parliament of Nepal, would like to convey our strong feeling that the present royal regime and its political representatives have no competence, authority and legitimacy to represent and speak on behalf of the sovereign people of Nepal.

Thank you,

Yours sincerely,
(Signed by)
