Saud, however, did not disclose the names of persons who are joining Katawal's party.

Katawal, who made political comments on a number of occasions, during and after his army stint, but had not joined any political group. nepalnews.com

धनगढी, वैशाख १ - नेपाली सेनाका पूर्वप्रधानसेनापति रुक्माङ्गत कटवाल अब सक्रिय राजनीतिमा आउने भएका छन् । उनले विभिन्न स-साना मोर्चा र संघ-संगठनलाई एकीकृत गरेर आफ्नै नेतृत्वको राजनीतिक संगठनको घोषणा यही वैशाखमा सुदूरपश्चिमबाट गर्ने भएका हुन् ।

यसको पहिलो चरणमा ११ संगठनलाई मिलाएर गठन गरिएको संयुक्त राष्ट्रिय मञ्चको घोषणा वैशाख १० गते धनगढीको खुल्लामञ्चमा गरिने भएको जानकारी तयारी समिति संयोजक चन्द्र सावदले बताए । राजनीतिक शक्तिका रूपमा स्थापित हुने उद्देश्यले गठन गरिने मञ्चको घोषणा राष्ट्रिय संयोजक कटवालले गर्ने छन् । संगठनमा भगौडा प्रहरी र माओवादी संगठनसहित केही दृश्य र अदृश्यमा आएका देशभरका १ सय जति संघसंस्थालाई मिलाएर जनाधार बनाउन लागेको साउदले बताए ।

समावेश भएका ११ संगठनमा ७ सुदूरपश्चिमका भएकाले यही क्षेत्रमा पहिलो जनाधार बन्ने तय गर्दै कटवाल नेतृत्वको नवगठित मञ्चले धनगढीमा घोषणासभा गर्न लागेको हो । उक्त संगठनमा पश्चिम संयुक्त राज्य परिषद्, सेतीमहाकाली संघीय परिषद्, सुप जागरण मञ्च, सेती-महकाली हलिया तथा सुकुम्वासी मूल समिति, द्वन्द्वपीडित सेना प्रहरी संघ, भगौढा माओवादी संगठन र पूर्वराजपरिवार नजिकका व्यक्ति, संघीयता र धर्मनिरपेक्ष विरोधी संघसंस्था यस मञ्चमा आवद्ध हुनेछन् । स्रोतका अनुसार सुदूरपश्चिममा अन्य भूमिगत समूहको तुलनामा अस्तित्वमा आएको भीष्म एकता परिषद् पनि गाभिएको छ । यसमा आवद्ध भूमिगत अन्य संगठनको नाम भने सार्वजनिक गरिएको छैन ।

ध्ानगढीमा बुधबार पत्रकार सम्मेलन गर्दै सावदले राष्ट्रिय अखण्डता, प्रजातन्त्र, राष्ट्रियता, शान्ति, संविधान र विकासको पक्षमा वकालत गर्न तथा राष्ट्र र प्रजातन्त्रको रक्षामा सम्पूर्ण नेपालीको सहभागितामा राष्ट्रिय अभियान थाल्न मञ्च गठन गरिएको बताए ।

उनले अहिले शान्ति र संविधान बनाउने जिम्मेवारी लिएका दल अक्षम अवस्थामा पुगेकाले अर्को जनाधार प्राप्त शक्ति निर्माण गर्न सहासी योद्धा र राष्ट्रप्रति बफादार व्यक्ति समावेश गरेर कटवाल नेतृत्वमा एकीकृत गर्न लागेको हो ।

Mirmary, you commie faggot, let me tell you one thing, RNA should have done more like Dorambha to wipe out you commmie cancer. What Sri Lanka did to wipe out LITTE should have been done, it is the big mistake of  King Birendra, Gyandenra and then RNA that they did not do.

 And see who is talking about international court? What do you say about MADHI, CHITWAN, Or barbaric killing of MUKTI ADHIKARI! And  Ram Hari Shrestha, Birendra Shah and so on…It is your uncle daddy Prachanda et all should be tried in a international court! You just wait!

 Btw, atwal took weapon to kill you commie or did you commie yourself took weapon against the nation?  And whom did you kille? Did you commie kill any corrupt leaders? NO! you killed only people like Mukti Adhikari.  RNA while did not do enough job to wipe you out like the way Sri Lankan did, which is god for you that you are still alive you should be thankful to Katwal. Yes, katwal is more like a politician, had he not been, he would have finished all your 601 uncles in one place and would have surrendered himself to the public or accepted martyrdom, time will only tell whether that move was correct or not, so far it does not appear so!  

If you are in US just enjoye the luxury of free society and capitalism-which your commie unlce and aunts are so against! guess who goes to the resort to chill out- your big daddy prachanda! so you just shut up!

I somewhat agree with Mirmire about the way high ranking Nepali Army Officers treat low ranking cadres. They are basically free slaves for life. I have few friends whos parents are genreral colonel (jarnel karnel ) and you should see their Furti...gosh they have 3-4 young guys at thier service to clean up after their dogs, polish their shoes, call them maharani saab and raja saab...cook clean ...basically its exploitation and its amazign to see how they treated those people. I mean if it was a part of thier well defined job description to be an aide to those officers that was a different thing, but that was somehting else. Most of these jernel kernel are eletist and aristocrats who may opress poor people if given the chance...But they do have carismatic presence i have to say!

But in the context of MR Katwal, grateful that he is not of Appeasing mentality (except of this patron the Ex royals) and at least speaks like a true leader. and has qualification to be one. 

I have said this over and over ...the only way ppl will be able to decide for the best suitable candidate is thru proper electoral procedures. I HAVE A DREAM to see all the so called party leaders standing to face question from someone like DAHAL in a public forum together. No one knows what they want for the country, except for their party. A leader has to have clarity of goal, vision and real understanding of problem. Who ever displays that gets my vote!!  

Having said that Yo moro prachande ko gala ma ekkkk chadkan chai hanna man chha.....my blood boils when i see this video!

Shantipriya, Namaskar!
I wish you had placed your argument of agreement or disagreement to my views instead of a sheer name calling. Faggot, commie, cancer,  're? Take those back with you. I don't deserve any of it. I find it horrifying that you would like to see the Doramba incident repeated,particularly when you sign your name as Shantipriya. Suffice to say that the loss that took place in Doramba has affected me personally. I am not into this party or that party, forget about being a commie or its supporter by any measure, to say the least. I don't know where you picked up an international court in my post but if that is what you are wishig for, then I would say tathastu to that.

Although you asked me to shut up despite the fact that I had indicated the problem and solution (e.g., Nepal Army in dire need of reforms), if I may, I will leave you with this line of my thought: if you really care for a new Nepal, do give a serious thought to my last para in the above posting. Taremam.
Best.

Nagarkot massacre

Nagarkot massacre
Bhaktapur district
Location	Chihandanda, Nepal
Date	December 14, 2005 11:30 p.m. (UTC+5:45)
Weapon(s)	L1A1 SLR
Death(s)	12 (including the perpetrator)
Injured	19
Perpetrator	Basudev Thapa

The Nagarkot massacre was an act of mass murder that occurred on December 14, 2005 at the Kali Devi temple in Chihandanda near Nagarkot, Nepal. Off-duty RNA sergeant Basudev Thapa (वासुदेव थापा), 26, indiscriminately shot at villagers, celebrating at the temple, with an assault rifle, killing 11 and injuring 19 more, before he himself was shot by his fellow soldiers. The shooting was said to be sparked by an argument between Thapa and some of the villagers.^[1][2]

[edit] Shooting

While nearly 250 villagers were celebrating Mangsir Purnima at the Kali Devi temple in Chihandanda an argument broke out between Sergeant Basudev Thapa, stationed at the Nagarkot barrack, and youths from the nearby Pipalbot village with whom he had a long-standing enmity.^[3] When the youths began to beat him up, the allegedly drunk soldier attacked one of them with a knife. Yelling "I'll come back and kill you all" Thapa, bruised from the fight, drove off in his motorcycle^[4] and returned to the barracks, where he armed himself with an L1A1 SLR. Although he was off-duty at that time, Thapa was allowed to leave the barracks with the gun without fulfilling any formality.^[5]
After about half an hour, at 11.30 p.m., Thapa and three of his colleagues^[3] returned to the temple grounds. He fired a few shots in the air, before shooting indiscriminately at the people who were trying to seek refuge within the temple from the gunman.
Though many initial news reports named 12 civilians killed, the official report states that only 11 people were shot to death and 19 others wounded by the more than 200 shots fired,^[6] before Thapa himself was killed. According to RNA statements, Thapa committed suicide, though many witnesses said that he was killed by one of his colleagues, while he was still firing at the villagers.^[3] An investigation of Thapa's body found that he died of a chest wound that could not possibly have been self-inflicted,^[5] thus contradicting the official version.^[7][8]

[edit] Victims

[edit] Aftermath

The next day the RNA commenced to clean the crime scene, deliberately destroying evidence, presumably in an attempt to cover up the incident.^[5] When a second rifle was found in a pool about 60 metres away from Thapa's body, questions arose if there might have been a second gunman.^[3][8]
In consequence human rights activists and opposition parties, as well as the people from Nagarkot demonstrated, demanding an impartial investigation and denouncing frequent human rights violations by and severe corruptness and indiscipline within the RNA. As a response the government formed a three-member judicial commission to investigate the incident and proposed to pay compensations of 150,000 Nepalese rupees to each of the victims families and to bear the expenses for treating the injured. Further the RNA also established a probe committee to scrutinise the massacre.^[7]
The official report was released on January 3, 2006 and stated, that "Thapa committed suicide by shooting himself and no evidence was found of the involvement of any other person except Thapa in the incident". Further it was noted that Thapa had a history of indiscipline and obstructing work and that the leading officer of the Nagarkot barracks had failed to maintain discipline among his personnel. The report also recommended to compensate the victims and their families and to take care of their education and livelihood.^[9]
Victims of the massacre protested several times in Kathmandu, because of the passivity of the government in providing the compensations recommended by the probe committee.^[10][11]

Mirmiray namaskar!

I have seen atrocities of commie faggots very closedly and know how they like to gloss over the fact and like to remain under the guise of their twisted rhetoric. So moment I see anyone like that I like to come down to them rather heavily, like them to give them their own medicine which they do not like like you right broda.

Like you, they like to raise Nagarkot-done by one erratic person and you are so eager to defame who institution while your cadre institutionalized killing. You mentioned public court-and international court is also public. About dorambha, it does not matter if you are personally affected, I would rather focus on how many people in our country badly affected by your so called jana yudhha...how many lost lives, how many displaced. any idea. Dormbha was made huge issue by so called HR activities -not any different than maoist themselves. but where are they when it comes to mukti adhikari, or madhi chitwon. Like you they like to remain silence. Now you do not dare drop line or two in condemning the act to again gloss over-hypocrite like you are responsible for what is happening in our country.

And what is restructuring of NA- taking en masse entry of indoctrinated killers? cut this commie crap!! tomorrow madheshi will have the same, and mostly infiltrated from south,  and are you ready to take them also? if you mean top brass of army officers are from elite class then mind you those era are gradually changing whether we want or not- example Katwal and Gurung himself..

If you are not hypocrite –say you are maoist! What the hell..
