Flashed political development
against Madhesh
Kathmandu. Latest political development has
flashed on a grave situation for Madhesh and
Madheshi people. Focusing on the recent
agreement formed between two big ruling
parties experts have said that situation has
been noticed as dangerous.
The ruling Nepali Congress and CPN-UML
have agreed to make two Madhesh states
from north to south . And both parties have
made the agreement to come up with a
concrete work plan to complete the
constitution drafting process. The meeting
of the top leaders from the two parties on
Sunday decided to set a target to complete
the remaining tasks of constitution drafting.
Responding the question asked by
journalists vice president of Nepali Congress
Ram Chandar Poudel,’ In the proposed work
plan, the leaders said, both settled and
unsettled issues of constitution writing
would be listed. “Talks are being held to
formulate a new work calendar but we did
not take any decision today as we have to
consult with other parties as well,”. The
parties have not set the date for constitution
promulgation after they missed the January
22 deadline. The ruling parties want to take
ahead the statute drafting process in a timebound manner. A new work calendar would
be formulated after consultation with the
UCPN (Maoist), leaders from the ruling
parties said. Federalism remains a major bone
of contention among the parties, and the
cross-party negotiations so far have failed
to make much progress. The Maoist party
has proposed either federating the country
into six provinces based on multiple
identities, or eight provinces with their names
settled in advance. The ruling parties have
proposed seven provinces under a new
federal set-up. Meanwhile, the secondrung leaders from the ruling parties are
pressing their top leaders to accept the
opposition’s eight-province model if, in
doing so, would ensure a broad
consensus among the parties to issue
constitution.
Another hand Rajendra Mahato,
Chairman of S adabhawana Party,
opposed the way of Prachand
withdrawing declared program of
general strike. He has has said that the
Madhes-based parties will not
participate in the meeting of the 30party alliance as the relevance of the
front has ended.
Mahato insisted that Madhesi people
will not be able to secure their rights
through the alliance. He said “The 30party alliance will not be effective from
now onwards,” Mahato said in an
interaction programme of Reporter’s
Club here on Sunday, “Madhesi people
do not need this alliance.” He accepted
that UCPN (Maoist) Chairman Pushpa
Kamal Dahal played a double face role
so the influence the alliance declined.
Leader Mahato said that the Madhesbased parties were capable to carry out
a separate agitation on their own. He
added that preparations were being
made for a strong struggle by forming a
separate alliance.
The experts say what misfortune will be
seen that will be in Madhesh. They said
that political clouds are roaring in the
sky that could harm people of
Madhesh.
We take rights by struggle: Mahato
Rakesh Yadav, Rautahat. Rajendra Mahato
,President of Sadabhawana Party, has said
that people will take rights by their struggle.
Addressing a condolence program of
Ramashish Thakur killed by police in Rautahat
Mahato said that there had been a conspiracy
made of depriving Madheshi people from
political rights. If government doesn’t declare
Thakur a martyr people will take their rights
by struggle. In the program, Mahendra Ray Yadav, Haribol Gajurel, Govinda
Chaudhary, Mohammad Lalbabu Raut and Meghraj Nisadh like leaders expressed
their views.
Government wants creating anarchy in
Madhesh: Madheshi Front
Kathmandu. Joint Democratic Madheshi Front has accused government of
c reat in g an ar c h y. Th e Fr o n t a ls o co n d emn ed t h e a c ti on t ak en b y
government in Rautahat. Government suppressed peaceful demonstrators
by firing teargas, bullets and charged lathi. Rajendra Mahato ,President
of S adab h aw an a P arty , issu ed a release u rgin g govern men t stop
suppressing Madheshi people. Mahaot said formed a probe committee
finding guilty in Rautahat action.
Gachhedar Showed Double Standard
Kathmandu. Bijaykumar Gachhedar
,president of Forum Democratic,
known as disputable and anti Madheshi
and cheater leader again has been
blamed of the same adjectives.
Gachhedar always works against
Madheshi and helps Khas leaders of
ruling class. Gachhedar has been
widely criticized by influencing
Prachand withdrawing announced
general strike by 30-party alliance.
Bijaykumar Gachhedar
Earlier Gachhedar took Mahendra
Ray ,Anil Jha, Sharatsingh and
Rajkishore making his own group isolating Upendra Yadav,Mahanth
Thakur and Rajendra Mahato. When Prime Minister Sushil Koirala
refused to accept him in government Gachhedar went to Prachand
to wage agitation.

Keep eyes open, a
threat is looming
Madhesh based parties have again tarnished
the image of Madhesh. People of Madhesh
surprised by watching the political moves
made by Madhesh based political parties.
They drummed that they were going to be
united sooner. Some of them enjoyed playing
steps for the unification. Finally the failed
doing that. Big three Madhesh based parties
: Tarai Madhesh Democratic Party, Madheshi
Janadhikar Forum Nepal and Sadabhwana
Party tuned the promise of unification by
forming task force for unification. They sang
chorus for unification for more than six
months. All top leaders of these political
parties joined the chorus of unification. Later
they failed declaring their unification. But
during this period some sadabhawanians have
got success declaring unification between
Sarita Giri led Nepal Sadabhawana Party and
Anil Jha led Federal Sadabhawana. Nepal
Sadabhawana Party revived in constituent
assembly under leadership of Anil Jha. During
this course almost all Madhesh based parties
j o i n e d 3 0 p a r t y a l l i a n c e f o r wa g i n g
movement against government. Later they
learnt without making a force of Madheshi
people they can’t wage movement. Prachand
withdrew general strike announced. This
shows that a threat is looming in Madhesh.
So all people of Madhesh should keep their
eyes open.

Africa regional overview-3
Following a deepening
campaign of violence by the
Islamist armed group Boko
Haram during 2013, the
armed conflict in Nigeria’s
northeast intensified in scope
and casualties, powerfully
illustrating the threats to the
stability of Africa’s most
populous nation and to
regional peace and security.
The conflict intensified in
smaller towns and villages in
2014 with more than 4,000
civilians killed since 2009.
The abduction in April of 276
schoolgirls by Boko Haram
was one emblematic case of
the group’s campaign of
terror against civilians, which
continued unabated. On
the
other
hand,
communities already
terrorized for years by
Boko Haram became
increasingly vulnerable
to violations by the state
security forces, which
regularly responded
with heavy-handed and
indiscriminate attacks
and with mass arbitrary
arrests, beatings and
torture. Gruesome video
footage, images and
eyewitness accounts
gathered by Amnesty
International provided
fresh evidence of
probable war crimes,
crimes against humanity and
other serious human rights
violations and abuses
committed by all sides.
Torture and other illtreatment was routinely and
systematically practised by
Nigeria’s security services
throughout the country,
including in the context of the
conflict in the northeast.
Security officials were rarely
held accountable. A pattern
of mass arbitrary arrests and
detentions carried out by the
military in the northeast
visibly escalated after the
declaration of a state of
emergency in May 2013, and
there were ongoing reports
of extrajudicial executions by
the military and police by the
end of the year. Meanwhile,
there was no apparent
resolution in sight for already
protracted conflicts. Sudan’s
conflicts in Darfur, Southern
Kordofan and Blue Nile
continued unabated, and
spread
to
Northern
Kordofan. Violations of
international human rights
and humanitarian law were
committed by all sides. In
Darfur, widespread abuses
and violence between
warring communities and
attacks by government-allied
militias and armed opposition
groups triggered a significant
increase in displacement and
civilian deaths. An upsurge
in violence by armed groups
in eastern DRC, within the
context of Operation Sokola
1, cost thousands of lives
and forced more than a
million people to flee their
homes. The increased
violence was also marked by
killings and mass rapes by
both government security
forces and armed groups. In
southern and central
Somalia, over 100,000
civilians were killed, injured
or displaced in the ongoing
armed conflict between progovernment forces, the
African Union Mission in
Somalia (AMISOM) and the
Islamist armed group alShabaab. All parties to the
conflict violated international
human
rights
and
humanitarian law. Armed
groups
forcibly recruited people,
including children, and
abducted, tortured and
unlawfully killed others.
Rape and other forms of
sexual
violence were widespread.
The humanitarian situation
deteriorated rapidly due to
the conflict, drought and
reduced
humanitarian
access. More than one
million people were in
humanitarian crisis and
another 2.1 million in need of
assistance at the end of
2014.
Warning signs of future
conflicts were also visible.
The Sahel region remained
especially volatile, due to
combined effects of political
insecurity, surge of radical
armed groups and organized
crime, extreme poverty as
well as social exclusion. This
was illustrated in Mali, where
internal armed conflict left
the country in a state of
persistent insecurity particularly in the north
where some areas remained
outside the control of the
authorities. Despite a peace
agreement signed between
the government and armed
groups in 2013, armed
groups committed abuses
including abductions and
killings, and outbreaks of
violence persisted in 2014
even as peace discussions
between the government
and armed groups continued.
Violence and insecurity were
heightened by a surge in acts
of terrorism - as in Somalia,
Kenya, Nigeria, and across
the Sahel region - which
were often met by serious
human rights violations by
government forces. Abuses
by armed groups included
unlawful killings, abductions,
torture and indiscriminate
attacks. In Somalia, alShabaab factions tortured
and unlawfully killed people
they accused of spying or
not conforming to their strict
interpretation of Islamic law.
They killed people in public
- including by stoning - and
carried out amputations and
floggings. In Cameroon as
well, Nigerian Islamist
groups including Boko
Haram killed civilians,
carried out hostage-taking
and abductions, and attacked
human rights defenders.

Keeping the country in pendulum situation bears nothing for all
Political parties have also received their maturity. They
must have experienced many lessons from first assembly to
second assembly. But not to adopt the experiences in practice is not good things. Another hand constitution is itself a
changeable whenever it requires. Well first of all , lay down
a common grounds and later make way of rectification.
How would you like to
elaborate the current
political deadlock in
the prospective of
constitution making
process?
- The country has been
in a political deadlock
for a long time. This is
unfortunate for the
country. Because the
most important task of
country is to announce
a constitution and for
the constitution there
should be a consensus
required.
In the
absence of the
consensus
the
upcoming constitution
has not been declared.
Situation has been seen
out of control that is
required to be in a
chain of political
periphery. The country
is still in a mesh. Such
situation to be
prolonging
is
dangerous.
One
constitution has been
already failed. There is
a terror spreading
whether
another
constitution assembly
is failure what will be
happen. Earlier it was
promised bringing
constitution within a
year since the election
result of second
assembly but that
promise is already
failed. There is no any
progress can be seen
since the deadlock
occurred in the first
assembly. The due time
of
declaring
constitution on 22 nd
January has passed
without any declaration
about the constitution.
After the 22nd January
the doubts have widened
the gap between
political parties. So
there is a platform
required for those
parties for reviving
talks for seeking a new
consensus.
How could you
overview the opposition
led movement against
government?
- For me , it is not time
for waging movement.
Movement can’t help
the
process
of
constitution making.
For the process of
making constitution a
dialogue is required not
movement. Without a
dialogue there will not
be a way out for
confirming the process
of constitution making.
So this is not time of
movement. It is time of
dialogue.
The leaders of 30 party
alliance say that their
movement is for
kicking start of
dialogue. How could
you judge such
sayings?
- I don’t think so. The
process of constitution
making is a way of trust
building. They have lost
their trust among
themselves. After 22nd
January there is been no
any positive talks seen
held. Time is being
waste.
Did you see any reason
behind the current
deadlock, what is that?
-Most important thing is
lack of strong political
will power.
You mean this lacks
among all political
parties, don’t you?
-If the political will
becomes powerful, it
will
produce
a
c o n s t i t u t i o n
immediately. Many
disputes have been solved
but the deadlock has
been widening more and
more. If the second
constituent assembly
fails, what will happen
one can’t imagine easily.
For me, the country will
go toward a failure state.
People have given such a
large verdict to the
political parties for
giving a constitution. For
me, there is no space for
disagreement but it is.
Basic issues are: issues
of democracy, issues of
federalism, issues of
inclusiveness, issues of
peace, and I think for
these issues we should
take a way out from
international practices.
We are not doing these
things first time in the
world. Many countries
have gone through such
issues for their better
governance. Political
parties have also
received their maturity.
They must have
experienced
many
lessons from first
assembly to second
assembly. But not to
adopt the experiences in
Dinesh Tripathi
Constitutionalist
practice is not good
things. Another hand
constitution is itself a
changeable whenever it
requires. Well first of all
, lay down a common
grounds and later make
way of rectification.
Keeping the country in
pendulum situation bears
nothing for all. All
political parties should
think that delay in
announcing
the
upcoming constitution is
declining
their
credibility. In the
democracy, political
parties are most
important actors. The
loss of credibility of
political parties is
ultimately loss of
democracy. The country
will fall in a grave
instability.
How could you sketch
the relation between
Nepal and India?
-The relation between
Nepal and India must be
good. Both countries are
democratic countries.
Both citizens have been
sharing a typical
relation. This relation
should be transformed in
brotherly and friendly
relationship. The relation
should be beneficial for
the people of both
countries. More and
more possibilities of
economic development
are seen for example the
hydropower sector
should be developed for
the betterment of both
countries. The relation
can be exploited for the
mutual interests. About
this relation a discussion
is required among
political parties. Result
oriented should be held.
The dialogue between
professional group of
these
countries.
Diplomacy to be track
two diplomacy should be
between two countries.
But I say multi track
diplomacy. Track two
diplomacy sometimes
doesn’t give good result.
The relation between
Nepal and India is not
only the relation between
two governments it is
between people to
people. People are
connected by culturally,
religiously
and
economically. ,

Samsung Galaxy S6 and S6 Edge
most sought after smartphones
Samsung may have a winner on its
hands in India, with its latest flagship
devices - Galaxy S6 and S6 Edge - being
the most sought after smartphones in
the premium segment, going by
launch-day sales and pre-orders, top
retailers and market trackers said.
People familiar with the matter said
Samsung received about 40,000 preorders for both devices, about four
times the bookings made for the Galaxy
S5, and first-day sales may be close to
50,000 units. The Galaxy S6 Edge is
more in demand and the gold version
is out of stock, said another person.
“Samsung has been forced to advance
plans to manufacture the devices in
India,” the second person told ET. The
Korean company had planned to start
producing these devices in India in the
later part of this quarter ending June
30. The devices are currently
manufactured in Vietnam.
Samsung launched the smartphones at
midnight (April9-April 10) in about 10
cities, including Kolkata, company
executives said. With the pre-order
system, the flagship launch was better
planned than before, retailers said.
Samsung has tied its hopes of a global
turnaround in sales and fortunes to the
success of the Galaxy S6, priced at Rs
49,900 (32GB) and Rs 61,900 (128GB),
and the dual-curved screen S6 Edge,
costing Rs 58,900 for the 32GB storage
variant and Rs 70,900 for the 128GB
variant. The devices are cheaper than
rival Apple’s iPhone 6 devices, which
has helped to boost the appeal of the
S6 phones. Apple recently increased
prices in India. “After a long time, a
Samsung top-end model has
generated this level of excitement
among consumers,” said Himanshu
Chakrawarti, chief executive of The
Mobile Store, India’s largest retail
chain with over 800 stores. “Stocks
are coming to the stores at different
times, but we’ve ensured that those
who pre-booked it with Rs 2,000
advance got the device today,” he
added. Competition with Apple in the
premium market and with Micromax
and Xiaomi in the affordable segments
in India has meant Samsung’s lead
over rivals has been narrowing. Its
market share by volumes was at 22%
in the October-December 2014 as per
research firm International Data
Corporation, with Micromax at 20%.
With record shipments expected for
its new smartphones, the Korean
company said it would struggle to
meet demand due to production
constraints.

Anbika Giri and Binita Dahal in
26th edition of Conversations
Kathmandu : Embassy of India and
B.P. Koirala India-Nepal Foundation
organized 26th edition of Conversation
on Monday, April 06, 2015 at Nepal
Bharat Library in Nepal Airlines
Building, New Road. This edition of
Conversations had promising author
Anbika Giri speaking about her
recently released book Maanchheko
Rang. The event was moderated by
journalist/columnist Binita Dahal.
Binita Dahal introduced author Anbika
Giri as one of the most vocal authors
among the young generation writers. “She is powerful in building characters
and bringing them alive. I was already
fascinated by her writing style when I
read her first book – Communist – a
collection of stories,” Dahal began.
Dahal then picked out extracts from
Maanchheko Rang and introduced the
prime character of the book “Maya”
(a woman character who grew up
during the decade long Maoist
insurgency in Nepal and desperately
wanted to contribute in the people’s
movement) to the audience.
Giri and Dahal further engaged in
discussing what inspired Anbika Giri
to pen a book on one of the most
historic political movements of Nepal
– the Maoist insurgency and the
people’s movement. Anbika Giri
shared, “This book is my impression
of my upbringing during the Maoist
insurgency. Though I was not directly
the part of the people’s movement, I
was however witnessing everything
that was going between the state
then, the Maoists and the people at
large. My character Maya is one
among those many women of that
decade who were contributing at
their best to make people’s
movement a success. She is one of
those women who wanted to break
the stereotype of the patriarchal
society we have been living in. She
is one of those many women who
have always pitied their own mother
for the disrespectful role they play
all their lives.” The event concluded
with an interaction between author
Anbika Giri and the audience.
Secretary of B.P. Koirala IndiaNepal Foundation, Abhay Kumar

Sunny Leone’s ‘Ek Paheli Leela’ earns better than NH10
Chances are that you were among the many
who believed that
Sunny Leone‘s ‘Ek
Paheli Leela’ would
bomb at the Box
Office. And chances
(yet again) are that you
have mighty failed in
your assessment of the
preferences of the
Indian audiences.
Reason being that ‘Ek
Paheli Leela’ has
opened to a collection
greater than the
recently released movies including Amitabh
Bachchan’s ‘Shamitabh’. According to the
stats shown by BollywoodHungama.com, the
Sunny Leone starrer earned a total of Rs
5.30 cr at the domestic box office. The
numbers are greater when compared with
that of Anushka Sharma’s ‘NH102 which
earned Rs 3.35 cr and Amitabh
Bachchan’s ‘Shamitabh’ that amassed Rs
3.5 cr. Last week’s release Dibakar
Banerjee’s ‘Detective Byomkesh Bakshy’
starring Sushant Singh Rajput only
managed to rake in Rs 4.42 cr at the ticket
window. The power of Sunny Leone, we
say.
Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan says his children
are currently busy with their studies and are too young to
decide on joining Bollywood.
The 49-year-old actor, who has three children – Aryan,
Suhana and AbRam – with wife Gauri, said like any
concerned parent he wants his kids to finish their studies
first.
“My children are too young to decide on becoming actors.
They have to study, finish their studies first. I am very clear
about it and they are very clear about it,” Shah Rukh said.The
“Happy New Year” star said it is up to his kids to decide on
their career path and they don’t have to necessarily become
an actor like him.”An actor’s son or daughter need not be
actor. I have left it to them. The first part of my job is to
educate them so that they can make the right decision of what
they want. “At this point of time there is no talk of AbRam,
Aryan or Suhana to become actors… They have to study
first,” said the actor, who was in the capital for the launch of
real estate company Mahagun’s new luxury housing ‘The M
Collection’.Shah Rukh was recently in Kolkata along with his
children to attend the opening IPL match played between his
team Kolkata Knight Riders and Mumbai Indians.

US President Barack Obama and Cuban President Raul Castro shake hands at the
Summit of the Americas in Panama City, Panama, Saturday, April 11, 2015.
Panama city : ( Reuters) - U.S.
President Barack Obama met
Cuban President Raul Castro on
Saturday in the highest-level talks
between the two countries in
nearly 60 years, and the two men
agreed to push ahead on
improving relations after decades
of hostility. Describing their
private meeting as “historic,”
Obama said the two countries
can end the antagonism of the
Cold War era, although he said
he would continue to pressure the
communist-led country on
democracy and human rights.
ý”We are now in a position to
move on a path toward the
future,” Obama told Castro as
they met in Panama, where they
were both attending a summit of
leaders from across the
Americas. Speaking to reporters
later, Obama made plain the two
countries would still have their
differences. “We have very
different views of how society
should be organized and I was
very direct with him that we are
not going to stop talking about
issues like democracy and
human rights and freedom of
assembly and freedom of the
press,” he said.
The tw o men agreed in
December to move to
normalize relations, including
seeking to restore diplomatic
ties that were broken off by
Washington in 1961. Obama
said he decided to overturn
longstanding U.S. policy on
Cuba becau se the old
approach of open hostility and
economic sanctions had failed
to f orce th rough major
changes on the island and it
was time to try something new.
Since then, he has relaxed
some restrictions on travel and
trade with Cuba.

investigation to confirm out how the incident took place.

PM Modi’s visit to Europe & Canada
Prime minister Narendra Modi’s longest
foreign tour of eight days to France, Germany
and Canada is an occasion for multipurpose
diplomacy to further India’s interests. It
advances a ‘Link West’ agenda to
complement the ‘Act East’ policy and
presents India as a balanced player that is
strategically attentive in all geographic
directions. Industrialised Western middle
powers have tremendous potential to assist
India’s rising economic graph. Modi is tugging
at the hearts and minds of corporate titans
sitting over investible capital in France,
Germany and Canada because he is
perceived to be walking the talk on
overhauling the Indian economy. His ‘Make
in India’ campaign is garnering serious foreign
attention and buyin thanks to the accelerating
pace of our GDP growth. High-profile CEO
forums with visiting Indian prime ministers
are not Modi’s inventions. They have been
held even by his predecessors during foreign
visits. But now, these interactive sessions are
laced with greater hope and belief among
foreign investors because Modi is hitting the
right notes and running India like a CEO. As
he struts the stage in western Europe
and North America, the proverbial
wind is at his back, with the Indian
economy entering a sweet spot after
six years of listlessness. The credit
rating agency Moody’s has upgraded
India from ‘stable’ to ‘positive’.
Western opinion shapers are hailing
India as a rare “bright spot in the global
economy”. Modi’s message that
India is fit for investment in
infrastructure, defence and energy is
thus not hot air. With all prognoses
pointing to India overtaking China
from this year in GDP growth, no one
in Europe or Canada is yawning
when Modi turns up the charm
offensive. He is speaking from an innate sense
of momentum and confidence that Western
countries have lost since the global economic
crisis began in 2008, and which they could
regain by partaking in the India growth story.
India as the fastest growing major economy in
the world is the substance behind Modi’s
pizzazz.
Modi’s core philosophy about a proactive
government as the chief facilitator of growth
is reflected in his comments in Paris that “with
the support of president Francois Hollande,
French firms will be able to invest in India and
vice versa. We [the state] will ensure the ease
of doing business.”Although private investors
are not bound by state guidance in Western
capitalist systems, Modi is pushing his foreign
governmental counterparts to advise, coax and
guarantee their respective corporations as they
eye a slice of India’s second innings of rapid
GDP growth in the 21st century. It is a lesson
in economic diplomacy and a sharp
improvement over previous Indian
governments that were gingerly about
wholeheartedly seconding Indian business and
economic interests abroad.

The many benefits of
raw coconut oil
If you are struggling with dry skin and hair, a jar of
coconut oil could be your best friend. Its light texture,
moisturizing properties and easy availability make it one
of the best remedies to dry skin.
Coconut oil is also an effective makeup remover.
Regularly using coconut oil on your body not only helps
lighten the skin, but also helps rid scars and dark patches.
Massage it onto your skin after a bath every day and you
can do without a body cream.
Its also an excellent hair tonic. A massage with warm
coconut oil brings back lost shine and makes hair soft
and manageable. It also helps reduce protein loss, which
makes your hair healthy and attractive. Trying to grow
your hair? Then use coconut oil regularly. This oil is also
good for loosing weight, maintaining cholesterol level,
boosting the immune system, aiding in proper digestion
and regulating metabolism. There is a misconception that
coconut oil is not good for the heart because it contains
large quantities of saturated fats. But this is far from the
truth. Coconut oil contains about 50% lauric acid, which
actively prevents various problems that affect the heart,
such as high cholesterol levels and high blood pressure.
