My feelings about PM’s address – fine, you gave in to our very legitimate demands. But why were 20 lives lost when everyone agreed in principle to our demands? Assure me that there was no central level conspiracy to brutally repress the movement. Assure me that the army (royalists who supposedly infiltrated and incited the revolution) and Maoists (whose cause was hijacked by regressive elements) did not take a hint from the government’s attitude to say that they are willing to be mobilized to repress the movement. Assure me that no unnecessary and excessive force was used to silence terai.
Nothing less than the Home Minister’s resignation. Form of a high level committee to investigate the repression just like the Rayamajhi commission. Get rid of Panches by rayamajhi, and pahadi elites by the new commission.
Madhesis, no premature celebration. Keep to the streets until we punish those who killed our people.
and why arrest kamal thapa on a false charge when u have a good one, why ask the SC to not pursue the case of false arrests? the 8 parties have to let go of their dictatorial tendencies.

economically speaking, this has to be addressed too...
Nepalese government collects 77% revenue from madhesh and spends only 18% there.
and just for info:
42%madheshi population has less than 9% representation in parliament.
27 lives actually in total including the police
madhes janaadhikaar forum and NSP (anandi devi) must unite!!
hridayesh tripathi for PM!
how inclusive are we?
here's a sampling from the public service commision:
Statistics also show a rise in the number of women applicants over the period. In fiscal year 2001/2002, a total of 615 women applied for vacancies announced by the PSC and of them 144 got jobs. In the ensuing fiscal years, the number of female applicants rose to 794, 819, 1,117 and 2,266 respectively.
Similarly, the number of successful women candidates also rose to 78, 138, 194 in the first three years. However, in 2004/05 only 80 women candidates got jobs despite the higher number of applicants.
Likewise, data shows a gradual rise in Dalit applicants. In fiscal year 2001/2002, the number of Dalit applicants was 51. This figure rose to 79, 131, 991 and 1,200 respectively in the following years. However, only 29 Dalit candidates got state jobs in the last five years.
After Bahun, Chhetri and Newar, the three castes which dominate the bureaucracy, Kirat, Gurung and Magar are ahead of other ethnic groups in joining the civil service. Though the data shows a significant rise in the number of applicants from these ethnic groups, only a few were successful in getting jobs. Only 14 percent of state jobs went to people of ethnic groups in the last five years. Of the total recruitment in the past five years, 5,026 were from Bahun castes, 1,710 Chhetris and 502 from among Newars.
The analysis shows that those with prior employment are more
