Victory meet at Khulla Manch: SPA leaders express full commitment to constituent assembly elections

Hundreds of thousands thronged the Khulla Manch at Tundikhel, Kathmandu, on Thursday to celebrate the seven-party alliance (SPA) called “victory mass meet” of the pro-democracy movement for “total democracy” in the country.

Top leaders of the alliance, thousands of SPA activists holding the flags of their parties, government employees and the general public took out rallies from various parts of the Kathmandu Valley to converge at the historic Khulla Manch.

The top brass leaders of the SPA addressed the mass meeting expressing their full commitment to constituent assembly elections. However, Nepali Congress (NC) President Girija Prasad Koirala was absent because of ill-health.

Back in 1990, the political parties had organized a huge gathering at the same venue after the restoration of democracy. The restoration of multi-party democracy and end of the party-less Panchayat system, were the principle demands of the 1990 popular mass movement.

The people had fought for 30 long years before the Panchayat system- introduced by King Mahendra, father of King Gyanendra, by bulldozing a 17-month-old elected parliament in 1960- crumbled in the face of the popular mass movement of 1990, known as Janaandolan-I.

However, today’s demands were different. While the SPA leaders stressed the need for drafting a new constitution, terming the 1990 Constitution “incomplete” in providing people’s rights, today’s victory meet clearly echoed the demand of unconditional constituent assembly elections.

“The chief demand of the present mass movement is an announcement of constituent assembly elections,” said UML General Secretary Madhav Kumar Nepal, addressing the mass gathering.

“I want to caution those who attempt to step back from constituent assembly elections,” he added.

Nepal also claimed that the SPA was ready to come back to the streets if the House of Representatives failed to address the demand of constituent assembly elections.

“This movement is aimed at bringing the regime that has stomped on the backs of the Nepali people for the last 237 years, to an end,” Nepal said, adding, “The King is left with no other option but to accept the people’s decision.”

The huge mass cheered the SPA leaders with big applause every time they talked about constituent assembly elections.

Cautioning that the king could no more be trusted, president of the Nepali Congress-Democratic (NC-D), Sher Bahadur Deuba said there was no alternative to constituent assembly.

Repeating the phrase “constituent assembly” several times, Deuba said, “We will hold an election to the constituent assembly at any cost.”

“No one has understood this king better than me,” Deuba, who was sacked by the king twice (first on October 4, 2002 and then on February 1, 2005), warned, “He (king) can again lure us.”

Areas around the vicinity of the Khulla Manch- Ghantaghar, New Road Gate, Ratna Park, Purano Bus Park etc- were completely packed with people.

Banners put up by the participants reminded the politicians not to compromise on democracy and an unconditional election to the constituent assembly.

Chairman of Jana Morcha Nepal, Amik Serchan said that it did not matter to the people whether the King accepted the outcome of the unconditional election to the constituent assembly.

Bharat Bimal Yadav of Nepal Sadbhawana Party (Anandidevi) said, “This certainly is the people’s victory but not the end of the people’s movement.” He added that the modalities of the movement had changed.

Narayan Man Bijukchhe, chairman of the Majdoor Kisan Party, cautioned the people to remain alert against the activities of the “regressive elements.”

Chairman of Bam Morcha Nepal, Prabhu Narayan Chaudhari was of the view that an inclusive democracy should be established in the country. He added that the state should be restructured.

Representatives of various professional organizations said that the political parties should move ahead without deviating from the people’s aspirations.

“If any party or parliamentarian stands against the constituent assembly elections, people will decide on what action will be taken against them,” said Sambhu Thapa, president of Nepal Bar Association.

The participants of the mass meet reacted angrily to NC President Koirala’s absence at the programme.

The angry mass asked NC Vice-president Sushil Koirala, who was about to address the meet, to leave the stage and call G.P. Koirala. The crowd also pelted stones at the stage protesting his absence.

The infuriated mass was calmed only after UML Genera Secretary Madhav Kumar Nepal unveiled that Koirala was ill and was attended by two doctors at his residence. “84-year-old leader Koirala has already been administered two saline water bottles and is taking rest at his residence,” said Nepal.

Nepal also re-assured the people regarding Koirala’s commitment for unconditional constituent assembly elections.

Koirala has already been appointed to the post of Prime Minister by the king.. BUT NOT BY THE PEOPLE!!!  And only the people have the right..., no Chr.!
