18 Chait, Kathmandu. After Ram Bahadur Thapa Badal, the leader of the parliamentary party, made a controversial statement in the first meeting of the House of Representatives, there was a wave in the UML. Contrary to the government’s stand taken by UML, Badal accused the Nepali army, staff and even foreign agencies.
He also devalued the assembly that was elected by the people’s opinion and gave such expression that the whole result was a conspiracy and collusion of these bodies.
The top leaders of UML have objected to the expression. After Badal, who is also holding the responsibility of the party’s executive chairman, made such a statement, UML has called an emergency meeting of the secretariat at the party office Chasal for Friday afternoon. Badal’s expression will be discussed in the meeting.
Badal was elected the leader of the UML parliamentary party only on Wednesday. He was made the leader of the parliamentary party even though there were questions about his leadership within the party.
Thapa spoke for 6 minutes and 17 seconds in the first meeting of the House of Representatives held today. Baleka Thapa, who spoke on behalf of the UML in every letter, had serious doubts about the election results.
Vice President Bishnu Prasad Paudel has informed through social media that there will be a serious discussion about Thapa’s statement in the secretariat meeting and appropriate conclusions will be drawn. Vice President Paudel also gave the information about the secretariat meeting through social media.
‘The views expressed by Mr. Ram Bahadur Thapa as the leader of the CPN-UML party in today’s meeting of the House of Representatives are against the established policies and beliefs of the party. In this regard, I expect a serious discussion and a proper decision will be made in the CPN-UML Central Secretariat meeting organized tomorrow,’ Paudel wrote on Facebook.
Before Vice President Paudel, Deputy Secretary General Yogesh Bhattarai had objected to Thapa’s Parliament address. While refuting Thapa’s speech to Parliament, Bhattarai gave a message that UML’s respect and trust will remain towards the Nepali army, judiciary, bureaucracy, and other state mechanisms.
“… our party has no animosity towards the security organs including the Nepali army, the constitutional organs including the courts and the bureaucracy, our party’s respect and trust will remain,” Bhattarai wrote, “this view of the party will remain the same in any role in the parliament or the streets, the ruling side or the opposition.”
Bhattarai has also mentioned in the status that UML will go on the path of gaining the trust of the people by thoroughly reviewing the election defeat.
In his address to Parliament, Acting President Thapa concluded that the role of army, staff, government led by Sushila Karki, commission of inquiry led by Gauri Bahadur Karki, Barbara Foundation and others played a role in the magical victory of RSWP.
In Nepal, the color revolution was successfully completed on 23rd and 24th of Bhadra under the undeclared leadership of the RSVP in an illegal manner. The blue revolution was legitimized through the general election on 21st February,’ Thapa said, ‘on 13th Chait, Mr. Balendra Shahjiu was sworn in as the Prime Minister through a grand religious ceremony. On behalf of the CPN-UML, I would like to say many congratulations to the RSVP and honorable Prime Minister Balendra Shahjee for this historic victory.
Badal’s conclusion was that the invisible foreign forces also played a role in giving the RSVP a magical victory. ‘To achieve which purpose, armed TOBs appeared as talismans on the 23rd and 24th? For what purpose were the former Prime Ministers and Home Ministers arrested illegally?’, asked Thapa.
The gist of Thapa’s speech after reading the written speech is that the RSVP did not emerge from the right opinion of the people. Even though the leaders accepted the defeat through social media, there is yet to be a formal review within the party.
‘Until now, UML’s opinion is that the election was peaceful and fair,’ says an official, ‘but today in Parliament, our MP spoke to raise questions about the election process itself. This will now be discussed within the party.’
According to him, the emergency meeting was called as Thapa’s statement was rebuttable.
‘UML is the power to believe in the mechanisms of the state. Also, there has been no report of rigging during the election. In such a situation, his expression is rebuttable,’ he says.
This was Badal’s speech in Parliament
Honorable Speaker,
First of all, I pay my heartfelt tribute to all the known and unknown martyrs, including Bhadra 23 and 24, who sacrificed their precious lives for national independence, democracy, republic, federalism, peace and prosperity.
Honorable Speaker,
In Nepal, on 23rd and 24th of Bhadra, the color revolution was successfully completed under the undeclared leadership of RSVP. The blue revolution was legitimized through the general election on February 21. Shri Balendra Shahjiu was sworn in as Prime Minister through a grand religious ceremony on 13th Chait.
On behalf of the CPN-UML, I would like to say many congratulations to the RSP and Honorable Prime Minister Balendra Shahjee for this historic victory.
Honorable Speaker,
Who played a decisive role internally in this unprecedented victory, what the facts make clear is that mainly Nepali Army, Bureaucracy, Sushila Government, Karki Commission, Barbara Foundation NGO etc. institutions and characters played a decisive role in this victory.
Therefore, on behalf of CPN-UML, I would like to congratulate those organizations and characters.
Honorable Speaker,
Who played a decisive role for this magical victory? What the numerous facts make clear is that invisible forces, TOB, AI, algorithms, Goebbels, who established the heroes of nationalism, democracy, republic, federalism, peace and prosperity as terrible villains and murderers.
Who made the villains who burned the country and erased their national identity as heroes. Those institutions and characters played this magical decisive role externally. Therefore, in this historic moment, I would like to congratulate all those characters on behalf of CPN-UML.
Honorable Speaker,
This miraculous victory has raised some extraordinary questions. For which purpose Singh Darbar, Shital Niwas, Baluwatar, Supreme Court, political leadership and private residences, police station, commercial establishments were burned in a well-planned manner. Who instigated those Awadh students to break the forbidden area for what purpose?
Armed TOBs appeared as talismans on the 23rd and 24th for which purpose? For what purpose were the former prime ministers and home ministers arrested illegally? What is the purpose of arresting political leaders?
For what purpose is the cycle of oppression and state terror being created across the country? For which purpose, the fundamental rights of students and professionals to be organized are being forcibly taken away? For what purpose media trial, cyber terror is being created?
Honorable Speaker,
Surely the future will give correct answers to these questions. But these questions and similar questions we will ask the state with all our strength. We will continue to raise our voice in this dignified House.
Honorable Speaker,
I would like to say many congratulations and best wishes to the Nepali Congress, CPN UML, CPN, Labor Culture Party, RPP and Independent Hon’bles who have come with the mandate to play the role of the opposition in this historic moment.
Honorable Speaker,
Finally, this unprecedented victory taught a serious lesson to the defeated side as well. It gave him an opportunity to correct his shortcomings. This defeat is only temporary. A defeated army learns quickly. It can quickly turn defeat into victory.
thank you
