The Maoist roar for Republic would give their anticipated election campaign a much-needed boost.

Adds to the prevalent political uncertainty in Nepal

It looks as if the brief period of tranquility that the people of Nepal had begun to get settled with, is coming to an end. Last week, the Maoists quit the Interim Government after the coalition partners rejected their demand to declare the country a Republic, ahead of elections slated for November 22. The Maoist also refused to abide by the national election code of conduct, throwing the entire elections process into disarray.

The first casualty of this action seems to be the disruption of the year-long peace agreement. Experts believe that the Maoists backtracked, out of fear that they would fare poorly in the elections. Declaration of a Republic would give their anticipated election campaign a much-needed boost. Talking to B&E from Bhaktapur, noted political expert C.K. Lal from Nepal Times said: “The Maoist demand of a Republic has two objectives. First, by demanding something that this government cannot fulfil, the Maoists have successfully postponed the elections. Second, had the political parties somehow agreed on the demand for a Republic, the Maoists would have been able to go to people’s doorsteps to ask for votes stating that the objective of the insurgency has been achieved.”

Meanwhile, south-eastern and Terai regions remain tense because of clashes between Madhesis & Pahadi ethnic groups following the assassination of Madhesi leader Mohit Khan. Over 5,000 people are reported to be displaced due to the violence in the Madhesi-dominated Kapilvastu region. The situation worsened when Maoists and cadets of right-wing Hindu Yuva Vahini, based in India, rushed to help Pahadis & Madhesis, respectively. After years of slumber, Maoists are trying to re-establish their base in the region. This was precisely why they merged with another far-Left outfit CPN-MLM. Whatever, the outcome, Nepal is certainly heading towards instability accompanied by more violence.
