सम्मानपूर्वक नहुँदासम्म सेना समायोजन हुँदैन

नेत्रविक्रम चन्द विप्लव, माओवादी नेता
शान्ति प्रकृया टुंग्याउने विषयमा मुख्य तीन दलबीच कात्तिक १५ गते भएको महत्वपूर्ण सहमतिप्रति सवै राजनीतिक दल र आम जनता खुसी भइरहेका बेला माओवादीकै एउटा हिस्सा भने चर्को बिरोधमा उत्रिएको छ । उसका गतिबिधि र अभिब्यक्ति हेर्दा लाग्छ कात्तिक १५ को रात खुसी भन्दा पनि दुःखी हुनुपर्ने रात हो । सहमति कार्यन्वनय हुन नसक्ने बताउँदै आएको बैद्य समूहले कब्जा सम्पत्ति फिर्ता गर्ने पार्टी निर्देशनको पनि अबज्ञा गरेको छ । सबै क्षेत्रले स्वागत गरेको सहमतिप्रति माओवादीको वैद्य समूह किन असन्तुष्ट ? वैद्य पक्षले चाहेको के हो ? त्यो पक्षका लडाकुले अब के गर्लान् ? बैद्य पक्षका खास नेता र योजनाकार भनेर चिनिने नेत्रबिक्रम चन्द बिप्लवसँग हामीले छोटो कुराकानी गरेका छौं ।

२५ कात्तिक, काठमाण्डौं । ब्यक्ति हत्याको आरोपमा जन्मकैद फैसला सुनाइएका माओवादी सभासद बालकृष्ण ढुंगेलको मुद्दा फिर्ता लिन सरकारले सिफारिस गरेको बिषयले आइतवारको सदन तात्यो । माओवादी र बिपक्षी सभासद्ले पक्ष र बिपक्षमा आ-आफ्ना धारणा राखे ।

यसरी बोल्ने समासदमध्ये सवैभन्दा मार्मिक र पेचिलो सम्बोधन थियो- माओवादी सभासद देवी खड्काको । जनयुद्धका क्रममा आफ्ना श्रीमान र दाजुसहित चार जना गुमाएकी तथा प्रहरी हिरातमा आफ्नै अस्मिता गुमाएकी देवीको सम्बोधनले त्यसअघि बोल्ने धेरै वक्ताको अनुहारलाई अँध्यारो बनाएको थियो भने सदनमा सन्नाटा छाएको थियो ।
