Anyone who has read this blog earlier or knows me personally knows that I’m not the biggest Maobadi fan in the world. And everything they do or say makes me hate them even more, be even more disgusted. The latest is that they’ve killed a certain Ramhari Shrestha by beating him up. Okay, so what’s the news in Maoists killing people, or even torturing them till they died? The news here is that this particular man was a BIG supporter of the Maoists. The media have said that if he hadn’t campaigned for Maoist Jhakku Prasad Subedi, no-one who beat the then UML Secretary general Madhab Nepal (who is not the best of politicians), Subedi wouldn’t have won. There are pictures of Maoist leaders Prachanda, Baburam Bhattrai and Badal having dinner with him at his home. And he “died during interrogation”? Right! They god-damn killed him, tortured him to death. if this is how they’re going to bring change, I don’t want change!
I am with the strike against the killing! If I didn’t have my exams, I swear I’d join (peacefully- truly). Except I don’t think Shrestha should be diclared “martyr”. Although my sentiments lie with him and his family entirely, he was killed by terrorist- he is a victim of SHEER INJUSTICE and TERRORISM, not someone who died for a noble cause.
