Calls for new political order after March 5th polls
KATHMANDU, FEBRUARY 3
Rastriya Swatantra Party Chair Rabi Lamichhane has broken his silence of the past few days and posted an aggressive status on social media today, rebuking the old political parties- the Nepali Congress, CPN-UML and Nepali Communist Party for talking of possible collaboration in the upcoming House of Representatives election.
Lamichhane who was recently discharged from hospital after leg injury treatment, also said issued warning to the Sher Bahadur Deuba faction of the Nepali Congress and the CPN-UML, albeit indirectly, for advocating reinstatement of the House of Representatives.
Stating that the March 5 election results will produce a final Tsunami, he dared any party that wants to prevent this tsunami by forging poll alliance to do so and prevent the tsunami. He said he would not tolerate any attempt to reinstate the HoR. This remark is aimed at the Deuba faction of the NC and the CPN-UML, particularly party Chair KP Sharma Oli who are exerting pressure on the Supreme Court to conduct final hearing of the HoR dissolution case before the March 5 elections.
Rabi stated that after the election to be held on March 5, even the opposition in the country should be new.
"This country, torn apart like vultures ripping at a carcass, is preparing for a final tsunami," Lamichhane wrote, " Those who still need to unite, unite.
Unite openly or secretly; form whatever alliance, with whomever you must. Use your final strength and try to stop this tsunami. We will accept the election results, but we will not accept any maneuvering, pressure, or threats aimed at reinstating the old House of Representatives that was uprooted and thrown away by a people's revolt."
He said the HoR removed by a people's uprising will not be reinstated under any circumstances.
Lamichhane who was slapped one after another case by the KP Sharma Oli government, wondered how many places he will have to go to contest charges labelled against him.
While traveling across courts all over the country to remove and cleanse the poison that an illegitimate two-thirds government forcibly injected into my body, I don't know how many places I will end up reaching, he wrote on Facebook.
Lamichhane said he will focus his effort on direct interaction with as many people as possible.
Lamichhane further wrote: I am not asking to reach Singha Durbar; I am demanding to change Singha Durbar. I will ask for your vote to remove the poison that party messiahs have filled into every artery of the state.
He stated that he had no interest in cosmetic reforms that sell pictures of a few bridges, a few buildings, or a few roads.
Without a clear mandate to launch the Blue Revolution from Singha Durbar-the headquarters of bad governance-winning or losing will have no meaning for us. The seed of instability planted years ago has grown into a massive tree. Unless its roots are uprooted this time, nothing will change anywhere, Lamichhane said.
Lamichhane further said: None of us has the right to stop the momentum of history by worrying about where I am or what will happen to me. For the revolution that will change this country's future, I am fully prepared for greater sacrifice and even the harshest penance.
He said he was not concerned about which page of history his name would be written on-or erased from.
But the bell of revolution has already rung against those who seek to erase the golden destiny of this country's children and aim bullets at the very forehead where that destiny is written. Only the final curtain remains to be raised, and together we will raise it, Lamichhane further wrote.
There is no need for anyone, acting as contractors of a corrupt system, to cry out calling us populists, visionless, or lacking policy and principles.
How long are we supposed to carry the burden of analysts who don't even have the will to read the clearly written RSP documents?
Everyone, Lamichhane said, is free to paint and decorate their own political shops and shutters, but this country has been protected not by any particular leader, but by the people. With the strength of those very people who will voice their opinion through the ballot box, we want to ring the bell of good governance and usher in a new era of development, diplomacy, and political economy, he added.
