वरिष्ठ अधिवक्ता शम्भु थापा र भदौ २४ बीच भयानक संयोग रहेछ । सात वर्षअघि आजैका दिन कोटेश्वरबाट आठ वर्षीय अबोध बालक विवेक लुइँटेलको अपहरण भएको थियो, टाउको एकातिर र ढाड अर्कोतिर पारेर धोबीखोलामा फालिएका बालक विवेकको हत्या खबरले सिंगो देश रोएको थियो । विवेकका बाबुआमाप्रति समवेदना व्यक्त गर्दै देशका लाखौँ बाबुआमाले अपहरणकारीलाई फासी देऊ भन्दै आक्रोश व्यक्त गरेका थिए । तर, सिंगो देशले बगाइरहेको आँसुको भेलबीचबाट एउटा असाधारण मुटु भएको मान्छे निस्कियो, जसले अपहरणकारी समूहकी नाइके पतेनी लामालाई कानुनको पन्जाबाट छुटाउन मुद्दा लड्ने जिम्मेवारी लियो । पतेनी लामा जसले आठ वर्षीय बालकलाई दुई टुक्रा पार्न पेसेबर हत्यारालाई हतियार दिएकी थिइन्, तिनैलाई निर्दोष साबित गर्न कसम खाने दुर्लभ कलेजो भएका मान्छे शम्भु थापा नै हुन् ।

When the CPN (Maoist), now split into the UCPN (Maoist) and the CPN-Maoist, fought a decade-long war against the state, they ran their own schools in rural villages of Nepal. Ostensibly, the objective of the Maoist schools was to create what the rebels described as a ‘scientific’ and ‘progressive’ education system. In reality, the Maoist schools were run to develop a new breed of young communists by indoctrinating children. The Maoists believed that it was necessary to sustain their war.
Only CPN-Maoist led alliance now out in the cold

KATHMANDU, Sept 6: Now only the 33-party alliance led by the CPM-Maoist is still out in the cold.
Upendra Yadav´s Federal Democratic Front has agreed to the CA elections and the Ashok Rai-led alliance has already agreed in principle though it is yet to sign a deal with the High Level Political Committee (HLPC). Recently, the CPN-Maoist led alliance made public its next series of agitations, including general strikes, to register its serious objection to the current political and electoral process.

Chand off to China yet again

Triggers speculation on policy change
KATHMANDU, August 29: Less than a week after talks between the High Level Political Committee (HLPC) and the CPN-Maoist led 33-party alliance on holding a roundtable political conference failed to make any headway, influential CPN-Maoist leader Netra Bikram Chand suddenly left for China on Thursday.
Though Chand is among a few Maoist leaders who visit China frequently, his visit to the northern neighbor this time has set off speculation in political circles in Kathmandu. The visit has courted comment as Chand´s party has kept the visit secret and nothing has been given out to the public whether this is a political visit or not.

UCPN (Maoist) CC members warn of bleak poll prospects
KIRAN PUN
KATHMANDU, August 27: Central committee members of the UCPN (Maoist) have suggested to the party leadership to bring about reforms in party organization, arguing that the party would not secure majority seats in the Constituent Assembly (CA) elections if it does not change the way it functions.
Presenting their reports at the party central committee meeting on Tuesday, the central committee members likened the party to a wind-up watch. They said it would be difficult to mobilize party cadres for the upcoming CA election if the state of affairs remains unchanged.
