माओवादी बैठकमा प्रचण्ड र बाबुराममाथि नै आक्रमण

५ साउन, काठमाडौं । एकीकृत नेकपा माओवादीको राजधानीमा जारी विस्तारित बैठकमा पार्टी अध्यक्ष पुष्पकमल दाहाल प्रचण्ड र प्रधानमन्त्री समेत रहेका उपाध्यक्ष डा. बाबुराम भट्टरामाथि नै आक्रमण भएको छ ।

प्रचण्डको राजनीतिक प्रतिवेदनमाथि भएको समहूतगत छलफलको रिपोर्टिङ गर्ने क्रममा भोजपुरा राज्य समितिको तर्फबाट को बोल्ने भन्नबारे सुरु भएको विवादले उग्ररुप लिएपछि प्रचण्ड र बाबुराम पक्ष एक-अर्का पक्षका शीर्ष नेताहरुमाथि नै जाइलागेका हुन् ।

विवाद बढ्दै गएपछि प्रचण्डका विश्वासपात्र पोलिटव्युरो सदस्य प्रभाकर बैठक स्थलबाट बाहिरिन खोजेका उपाध्यक्ष भट्टराईमाथि जाइलागेका थिए । उनले भट्टराईलाई कठालो समाउने प्रयास गरेका थिए । आफ्ना नेतामाथि आक्रमण भएपछि आक्रोसित भट्टराई पक्षीय एक कार्यकर्ताले पार्टी अध्यक्षमाथि नै कुर्सी प्रहार गरे । बैठकमा सहभागी एक नेताका अनुसार कार्यकर्ताले हानेको कुर्सी प्रचण्डको ढाडमा लागेको थियो । प्रचार प्रसार उपसमिति संयोजक बिश्वभक्त दुलालले अनलाइनखबरसँग भन्नुभयो- ‘सामान्य बिषयमा सुरु भएको बिबाद, तानातान र हानाहानको स्थीतिमा पुगेको हो ।’

कसरी बढ्यो तनाव ?

शुक्रबार ११ बजे बस्ने भनिएको बन्दसत्र एकघण्टा ढिलो गरी शुरुभयो । बैठक सुरु भए लगत्तै नामावली सूची अनुसार भोजपुराका बलिदान साहलाई अध्यक्षको प्रतिवेदनमाथि भएको समूहगत छलफलको निष्कर्ष प्रस्तुत गर्न मञ्चमा बोलाइयो । भट्टराई पक्षका साहले बोल्न थाल्नेबित्तिकै मञ्च र तल रहेका प्रचण्ड पक्षका नेता तथा प्रतिनिधिले आफ्ना पक्षका अशोक जैसवालले बोल्नुपर्ने भन्दै हुटिङ गरे ।

भट्टराई पक्षकाले भने साहले बोल्नथालिसकेकोले उनले बोलेपछि अशोकलाई बोल्न दिनुपर्ने बताए । तर, प्रचण्ड पक्षधरले एकोहोरो हुटिङ र होहल्ला गर्न छाडेनन् । यसको नेतृत्व नेतृ अञ्जना विशंखेले गरेकी थिईन् ।

बोल्न थालेका आफ्ना पक्षका नेतालाई अवरोध गरेको भन्दै मञ्चमा रहेका भट्टराई, देवेन्द्र पौडेल लगायतले विरोध जनाए । बोल्नै नपाउने प्रवृत्तिको अन्त्य हुनुपर्छ भनेर भट्टराई र पौडेलले प्रतिवाद गरे लगत्तै त्यहीं रहेका प्रचण्ड पक्षधर नेता जनार्दन शर्मा प्रभाकरको पारो तात्यो । ‘गुटबन्दी गर्ने तिमी नै हौ’ भन्दै उनले भट्टराईमाथि हात हाल्न खोजे । सँगै रहेका पौडेल, डिलाराम आचार्य लगायतका नेताहरुले छेकेका कारण प्रभाकरको हात बाबुराममाथि पर्न पाएन । उनीहरुले नछेकेको भए बाबुरामले पिटाई खाने बैठकमा सहभागी एक नेताले अनलाइनखबरलाई बताए । तनाव बढेपछि प्रभाकरलाई झ्याईकुटी पार्दै स्वयंसेवक वाईसिएलले उनलाई मञ्चबाट तल झारेका थिए ।

उपाध्यक्षमाथि नै हातपात गर्न खोजेको भन्दै भट्टराई पक्षधरका नेताहरुले चर्को बिरोध र हुटिङ गरे । त्यो बेला अध्यक्ष प्रचण्डले ‘हैन मिलाऔं, शान्त रहनोस्’ भन्दै थिए । तर, हातपातकै स्थिति आएपछि बाबुराम पक्षधर कार्यकर्ता पनि प्रतिवादमा उत्रिए । बझाङका एक प्रतिनिधिले पार्टी अध्यक्ष प्रचण्डमाथि कुर्सी प्रहार गरे । त्यसपछि बाहिरिने क्रममा प्रचण्ड पक्षमा पूर्व लडाकूहरुले हतियार बुझाएको तथा भारतसँग विप्पा सम्झौता गरेको भन्दै बाबुरामलाई घेर्न खोजेका थिए । कार्यकर्ताबाट नै नेताहरु असुरक्षित रहेको थाहा पाएपछि प्रहरी र बाईसीएलले हस्तक्षेप गरेर शीर्ष नेताहरुलाई ‘रेस्क्यू’ गर्नु परेको स्रोतको भनाई छ ।

पोलिटब्युरोमा कसरी मिल्यो ?

सुरक्षाकर्मीको स्कर्टिङको सहरा लिएर बैठकस्थलबाट बाहिरिएका नेताहरु छेवैमा रहेको नेपाल पर्यटन बोर्डको सभाकक्षमा भेला भए । त्यही पोलिटब्युरो वैठक बस्यो । वैठक हलभित्रको अबस्था देखेर जिल खाएका अध्यक्ष प्रचण्डले सुरुमै नेताहरुलाई थामथुम पार्न खोजे । ‘दस्तावेजमा भट्टराईजी र मबीच कुनै असहमति छैन, दुवै जना सल्लाह गरेरै डकुमेन्ट ल्याएका हौं’- प्रचण्डको भनाई उदृत गर्दै एक पोलिटब्युरो सदस्यले अनलाइनखबरसँग भने-’तपाईहरु धेरै जान्ने हुनुपर्दैन, हामीवीच कुनै असहति छैन, चुप लागेर वस्नुस् ।’ प्रचण्डले यसो भनेपछि पहिले हात हालाहालको अबस्थामा पुगेका प्रभाकर र देवेन्द्र पौडेलहरु पनि चुप लागेका थिए ।

प्रचण्डले नै लागेका बिषयमा सवैले बोल्न पाउँछन, अरुलाई पनि बोल्न दिउँ भन्दै प्रस्ताव राखेपछि वैठक सहमतिमा टुंगिएको थियो । त्यसपछि सुचारु भएको वैठकमा असन्तुष्ट भट्टराई र श्रेष्ठ पक्षका कार्यकर्ताले आ-आफनो मत राखे ।

Army opens new school in Chitwan

Nepal Army chief General Chhatra Man Singh Gurung inaugurated Sainik Awasia Mahvidyalaya, a boarding high school, at Chainpur VDC-4 in Chitwan on Tuesday.

Though the school is located in Chitwan, students from across the country can study there, the army said in a statement. The school has admitted 120 students including 40 girls this academic session. Among them 41 are the children of army servicemen.

“Until now, we did not have regional-level high school in the central region and this void has been filled,” General Gurung said speaking at the opening ceremony of the school. Nepal Army has been operating five such high schools across the country.

The army has been operating central-level high school at Sallaghari, Bhaktapur for the past three decades. Also, the army runs schools in Dharan in the eastern region, in Pokhara in the western region, in Surkhet in the midwestern region and in Kailali in the farwestern region.

Bimal Kumar Kshetri, the principal of the school, said that the school will add classes every year.

The school has been housed in the same building that previously housed the Holyland International School. The army had bought the school building and the 10 bighas of land owned by the school. All the boys in the school are boarders while the girls are dayscholars and commute to school from home every day.

The school is an English-medium one and operates through a trust.

Chicken dearer by Rs 15 per kg

Poultry entrepreneurs have raised the price of dressed chicken by Rs 15 per kg effective from Monday, citing low supplies.

With the fresh adjustment, wholesale price of chicken in capital has reached Rs 250 per kg. Similarly, price of live chicken has increased by Rs 10 per kg to Rs 185 per kg.

A joint meeting of based poultry farmers, entrepreneurs and wholesalers based in the capital took the decision. Janga Bahadur BC, president of National Chicken Sellers´ Association, said they had to raise prices due to low supply.

“Though the demand of chicken normally goes down from mid-July to mid-August, as many people do not consume meat during the holy month of Shravan, we had to raise prices after supply dwindled,” added BC.

According to the association officials, demand for chicken generally drops by 10 to 15 percent during summer. “Still, we have been failing to meet the demand because of low supplies,” they said.

Daily consumption of chicken in the capital hovers around 200,000 kg to 250,000 kg.

Retailers in the capital source chicken from local farms as well as from Dhading, Kavre and Chitwan, among others.
