Are Al-Qaeda and Bin Laden On The Rise in Nepal?

Bishal Shah

Nepal's al-Qaeda - the Maoists and Bin Laden and the Taliban - Pushpa Kamal Dahal and the gang of killer terrorists are terrorizing Nepal and Nepalese. They are trying to make all Nepalese appear to be terrorists in front of the world. Still, Nepalese people are tolerating this. No one is there to disapprove the terror as if we are used to it, as if we are enjoying the scenes of terrors. Unless the tragedy falls upon own shoulders, who cares? Who is there to realize this might come to anyone and from any corner. After all, the al-Qaeda and the operators are on the rise in Nepal.

Krishna Bahadur Mahara, one time head of the Maoists' terrorism propaganda bureau, recently charged New Delhi and Washington for their instigation of Nepali security forces to baton the Maoists during their mass rally. It is simply an absurd and cheap method to garner the support from the Nepalese whom they think are blind.

Just blaming other countries to garner support from the Nepalese doesn't work every time. Nepalese have intentionally put blinders on themselves, waiting for the promised peace. They have readied themselves to sacrifice their tradition, culture, faith, belief and tried to pardon the world's most dangerous killers - the Maoists, thinking if they are pardoned the correction in their behavior would be imminent.

Against the people's hope, the Maoists, their affiliates - Young Communist League (YCL) and the People's Liberation Army (PLA) are hell-bent on terrorizing the country and the people. The Maoists are exposed. People can no longer afford to put blinders on, fooling themselves repeatedly.

Pushpa Kamal Dahal, the Bin Laden of Nepal stayed in a terror camp in Noida, executing orders with the Indian agency Research and Analysis Wing (RAW)'s dictates to execute the innocent people of Nepal. Because of the Maoists who were given a red carpeted welcome, India is exposed for its double standard on terrorism. Its frequent blame of Pakistan for harboring terrorism turns dubious.

At the same time, the Maoists' anti-India slogan is just a fake. No one will trust them. Both India and the Maoists are together and trying to confuse the people of Nepal. Maoists are the product of India. Albeit, China lured many of the executioners to its side who are for a real People's Republic unlike Pushpa Kamal Dahal and Dr. Baburam Bhattarai who are for the Republic and supremacy of the citizens of their kind that is ruling Nepal autocratically in the name of proletariats and concurrently pleasing their master India.

To this end, both Pushpa Kamal Dahal and Dr. Baburam Bhattarai don't care for any kind of unplanned street drama. Here, the cancellation of People's Republic of China trip by none other than the priest of the People's Republic on the pretext of the event after sacking CoAS Katawal is an unplanned street drama. China's intelligence might that is unmatched, beyond doubt, has sorted out the untimely fall of the curtain in the midst of the drama. In China's eyes the actors from President Yadav to the then PM Pushpa Kamal Dahal, Dr. Babu Ram Bhattarai and from Girija Prasad Koirala to PM Madhav Nepal and General Katawal- all looked like jokers. It is for sure, China is waiting for the right moment to make all these jokers dance to its tune. China can make that happen.

Now coming to the main point, some weeks back, Nepali Congress President Girija Prasad Koirala instigated its cadets to over-power the Maoists if they resort to violence. His theory of violence controls the violence and instigating juveniles to resort to violence is nothing more than a form of terrorism. A person who had been the Prime Minister four times in the past asking his juvenile cadets for the terror cannot be any different than other terrorists.

His bio-data definitely does not lack this special category. The greed emperor, a suitable title for one of the fathers of the Federal Republic whose excessive greed for power has now the new title of 'Dhrit Rastra'.

However, looking at his bio-data added in 70s after he took a twin-otter plane carrying national treasury and his instigation of juveniles to resort to terror, the four time Prime Minister deserves to get a new title - Nepal's Bin Laden. This Bin Laden wants to turn his organization into al-Qaeda to satisfy his personal greed. Hence, the justification of terror from his side by instigating the juveniles is what the people of Nepal and the international community should not ignore.

Another Bin Laden like personality, the most popular in his organization after the Butwal muscle-flex, CA member and the President of his organization, Jhala Nath Khanal is no less a terror instigator than GP Koirala and Pushpa Kamal Dahal. He has clearly indicated on several occasions that he can match anyone in terrorizing people. Looking at June 6, 2009, terror instigation of Jhala Nath Khanal in order to oppose the Maoists' attempt to kill his party Secretary General reminds us that Nepal is slightly ahead of al-Qaeda and Bin Laden in exercising inner-terrorism.

The Nepali people are experiencing the rapid rise of home-grown al-Qaeda and Bin Laden in Nepal. Can the Nepali people expect anything from this except destruction, violence and killings? Is this the time to ring the bell of Pashupatinath for the blessing to save us from the terror?
