"धार्मिक, राजनीतिक र सांस्कृतिक आस्थाबाट माथि उठेर राष्ट्रिय एकता र मुलुकको समृद्धिका लागि अघि बढ्नु वर्तमानको प्रमुख आवश्यकता" : राष्ट्रपति

राष्ट्रपति डा. रामवरण यादवले ६ दशकको कठोर परिश्रमपछि पाएको लोकतान्त्रिक गणतन्त्रलाई व्यवस्थापन गरेर अघि बढ्नु सबै नेपालीको कर्तव्य रहेको बताउनुभएको छ। नेपाल पत्रकार महासंघको २२औं केन्द्रीय साधारणसभाको बिहीबार नेपालगन्जमा उद्घाटन गर्दै राष्ट्रपति डा. यादवले धार्मिक, राजनीतिक र सांस्कृतिक आस्थाबाट माथि उठेर राष्ट्रिय एकता र मुलुकको समृद्धिका लागि अघि बढ्नु वर्तमानको प्रमुख आवश्यकता....
भएको बताउनुभयो। उहाँले प्रेस स्वतन्त्रता लोकतन्त्रको अक्सिजन भएको बताउँदै पत्रकारका कलमले सहमतिबाट शान्तिस्थापना गर्ने र समयमै संविधान बनाएर लोकतान्त्रिक गणतन्त्र संस्थागत गराउनमा महत्त्वपूर्ण भूमिका खेल्नुपर्ने बताउनुभयो। उहाँले भन्नुभयो- ‘राष्ट्रनिर्माणमा कलम चलाउनुस् र राष्ट्रलाई गुन लगाउनुस्।’ राष्ट्रपति डा. यादवले लोकतन्त्र संस्थागत गर्न राजनीतिक दलहरूको भूमिका महत्त्वपूर्ण रहेको औँल्याउँदै नेपालका सबै राजनीतिक दलले दलीय स्वार्थ त्यागेर राष्ट्रियताका सवालमा एकजुट हुनुपर्नेमा जोड दिनुभयो। उहाँले दल तथा सरकारलाई घचघच्याएर जनताका इच्छा, आकांक्षा र आवश्यकता परिपूर्ति गराउन मुलुकका सबै पत्रकारले भूमिका खेलून् भन्ने आफ्नो चाहना रहेको बताउनुभयो।

साधारणसभालाई सम्बोधन गर्दै संविधानसभाका अध्यक्ष सुवासचन्द्र नेम्वाङले गत माघ २१ मा संविधानसभाले संविधानको अवधारणापत्र र प्रारम्भिक मस्यौदा तयार पारिसकेकाले उच्चस्तरीय राजनीतिक समझदारी कायम भएमा निर्धारित समयमा संविधान जारी गर्नमा कुनै बाधा-व्यवधान नरहेको बताउनुभयो। त्यसका लागि राजनीतिक दलहरूबीच भने उच्चस्तरीय समझदारी तत्काल हुनुपर्नेमा उहाँले जोड दिनुभयो।

कमीकमजोरीका बाबजुद दलहरूले यहाँसम्म परिवर्तन ल्याएको र अब पनि उनीहरूले नै देशलाई अघि बढाउने भएकाले एक्लाएक्लै नभई एकजुट भएर अघि बढ्न नेम्वाङले सुझाव दिनुभयो। उहाँले भन्नुभयो- ‘एकजुट भएर गएमा जस्तो पनि समस्या समाधान गर्न सकिन्छ तर एक्लाएक्लै गएमा के हुन्छ, थाहा छैन -’ उहाँले अब बन्ने संविधान स्वतन्त्र प्रेसमैत्री हुनेसमेत बताउनुभयो।

शुभकामना मन्तव्य दिँदै सरकारका प्रवक्ता एवम् सूचना तथा सञ्चारमन्त्री शंकर पोखरेलले समृद्ध लोकतन्त्र स्थापना गर्न, संविधानप्रतिको जनआशंका र अविश्वास अन्त्य गर्न तथा प्रेस स्वतन्त्रता बहालीका लागि महासंघको साधारणसभा एवम् राष्ट्रिय सम्मेलन सफल होस् भनी कामना गर्नुभयो। उहाँले नेपाली पत्रकारहरूले लोकतन्त्र, शान्ति र नयाँ संविधानका लागि खेलेको भूमिका महत्त्वपूर्ण रहेको उल्लेख गर्नुभयो।

जहाँ प्रेस असुरक्षित रहन्छ, त्यहाँ लोकतन्त्र बलियो हुन नसक्ने धारणा राख्दै सञ्चारमन्त्री पोखरेलले सञ्चारकर्मीमाथि आक्रमण गर्ने प्रवृत्ति अन्त्यका लागि सबै राजनीतिक दलहरूले प्रतिबद्धता जाहेर गर्नुपर्ने बताउनुभयो।

नेपाली कांग्रेसका कार्यवाहक सभापति सुशील कोइरालाले माओवादीका कारणले जनआन्दोलनको उपलब्धि गुम्ने खतरा रहेको टिप्पणी गर्नुभयो। मधेसी जनअधिकार फोरमका अध्यक्ष उपेन्द्र यादवले निर्धारित समयमै संविधान जारी हुनेमा आफू विश्वस्त नरहेको धारणा राख्नुभयो।

उद्घाटन कार्यक्रममा महिला, बालबालिका तथा समाज कल्याणमन्त्री र्सवदेव ओझा र संविधानसभाकी उपाध्यक्ष पर्ूण्ाकुमारी सुवेदी, एमालेका सचिव युवराज ज्ञवालीले शुभकामना मन्तव्य राख्नुभएको थियो। उद्घाटन कार्यक्रममा स्वागत मन्तव्य महासंघका अध्यक्ष धर्मेन्द्र झाले राख्नुभएको थियो भने समापन केन्द्रीय सदस्य एवम् मध्यपश्चिम इन्चार्ज प्रेम केसीले गर्नुभएको थियो। साधारणसभामा देशभरिका ८ हजारभन्दा बढी पत्रकारका १ हजार ५० प्रतिनिधि सभासद् सहभागी भएका छन्।


Joint Press Release in Support of a Referendum on the Monarchy and Hinduism/Restoration of the Constitution of 1990

Organizations Represented: 13

The Global Hindus and Nepali nationalists endorse the demand of referendum raised by RPP-N to decide on Federalism and Secularism. Acting in concert with other patriotic and nationalistic institutions, we are committed to the causes of Dharma, Nationalism and service to the Nepali people. In that context, we are closely monitoring the rapidly unfolding events in Nepal along with the changing political awareness of the Nepali people themselves. Presently, the conduct of national affairs has been hijacked by a cabal of corrupt political leaders and parties who purport to act in the name of the people's freedom, democracy, republicanism, and secularism.

The Nepali people and global Hindus living both within and outside Nepal, have rejected the divisive politics and agendas carried out by the Seven Party Alliance under the 12-Point Peace Agreement, which was itself brokered and signed in a foreign capital. The immoral, decadent and divisive actions of a few people are destroying the Nepali people's sense of unity and national harmony.

Millions of Nepalese have suffered silently under the breakdown of social harmony, under the lack of security, under the failure of basic government services, and through the gratuitous destruction of national unity, all of which have been permitted to take place in the name of creating a "New Nepal."

The present crop of failed political parties and leaders have calibrated their agendas along secular, republican and/or revolutionary communist lines, and the divisive forces set loose by such myopic policies have spread like a disease which corrupts and enervates the very soul of the nation. Nepal’s destiny has been put up for auction by international and external forces that have conspired to destroy the Nepali people's unity, identity, harmony, goodwill and dharma.

We stand up today to defend our ancient civilization, heritage, culture and way of life. Nepal is truly a Holy Land and a uniquely irreplaceable paradise that is being slowly killed by corrupt, incompetent and vicious men who love neither the nation, Hindutva nor the Nepali people. Their actions over the past few years have conclusively demonstrated that their selfish and degenerate policies have been a costly failure for the nation and Sanatan Dharma.

Nepal must promulgate a system of governance that incorporates accountability, transparency, social justice, rule of law, equal opportunity, national unity and, last but not the least, "Dharma" as the guiding lights for our nation and people.

In order to achieve this, the struggle must begin from each and every Nepali home: from the villages to the towns and cities, from the hills to the plains, for the establishment of a just and fair country. There can be no room for hatred, corruption, criminality and disharmony.

The political leaders and parties who have brought about this present state of anarchy, chaos, hatred and disunity must be publicly brought to account for their destructive actions against the nation and the people of Nepal.

We reiterate our call for free and fair public referendums on the monarchy, Hinduism, and the Constitution of 1990, demands which have been brought to public notice by this week’s protest program. In tandem with our stance that all matters of long-term public importance must be delegated into the hands of the sovereign Nepali people themselves, we would like to clarify once more that there is no reasonable alternative to a referendum on the monarchy and on Nepal’s status as a Hindu nation.

We fully support the challenge posed by the RPP-N President, Mr. Kamal Thapa, that the present government of Nepal should launch an investigation as to the cause of the Late King Birendra’s assassination. Instead of explicitly or implicitly blaming the “The Emperor of Hindus”, King Gyanendra, the government and the opposition must form an independent team of inquiry to discern the objective truth. Otherwise, in default of any rational evidence to the contrary, the parties and persons responsible for propagating such vicious slanders and accusations against the King and his family owe His Majesty and the people of Nepal a sincere apology for the gratuitous pain and anguish which their lies have brought to Nepal.

The Nepali Nationalists and Global Hindus living within and outside Nepal once again wish to congratulate the Nepali people for their courage to withstand the injustices of both the government and the opposition. We urge the Nepalese government to refrain from using excessive force against the peaceful protestors. Only a prompt call for a referendum on the Constitution of 1990 can defer the civil unrest which is likely to erupt in Nepal when the 601-person Constituent Assembly fails to produce a new and improved constitution by the stipulated deadline. The constitution of 1990 will reactivate itself if the CA fails to promulgate a new constitution. The people of Nepal must once again be made the sovereign masters of Nepal through the referendum.

Jai Dharma!
