Why does government of
national consensus require?
Rajendra Mahato (President, Sadabhawana Party)
It is not time to talk of government. We all should
unite for relief and reconstruction. We require
national consesnsu for relief, reconstruction and
constitution.
Sharatsingh Bhandari (President, National
Madhesh Socialist Party)
For political reconstruction and Physical reconstruction
all forces of country should unite. For that
government of national consensus is required.
National government will bring all forces at a point
for nation building. New government should be
made under UML leaderwship.
Ratneshwarlal Kaystha (Spokesperson, Madheshi
Janadhikar Forum Nepal)
Our priorities are constitution and
reconstruction. For that national consensus is
required not national government.
Anilkumar Jha ( President,Nepal
Sadabhawana Party)
I have no idea about formation of national
government. We have not concluded any dissison
about to join a national government.
Rajkishore Yadav (President, Madheshi
Janadhikar Forum Republic)
There is no decision taken from Madheshi
Front about to join a national government. It
will be a haste to say something about national
government.
Ramnaresh Ray ( Senior leader, Tarai Madhesh
Sadabhawana Party Nepal)
National Government should be formed for
ensuring the outcome of constitution. It is
weakness of leaders of Madheshi Front for
issuing its official stand about a national
government.

Editorial
Naked Madheshi Parties
It is said in Tarai Madhesh , piparke paat sa
kathi danke raksha , it means if a body is
completely naked the prestige of that naked body
can’t be cover just with a leaf of Pipal. Madheshi
Parties of Nepal are in the same position. As
much they have been dancing as per direction of
traditional ruling parties their clothing has
dropped from their body and they are completely
naked. The demand of Madhesh Movement and
Madhesh Rebel was One Madhesh One State.
Government had to knell down bef ore the
Madhesh Rebel because the situation had gone
to be separation as the agenda then introduced
b y J a yk r i s h n a G o i e t l e d a r m e d g r o u p s .
Traditional ruling parties’ leaders knew that even
Chinese support couldn’t keep Madhesh in
N e p a l o n c e i t we n t b e yo n d t h e c o n t r o l .
Government of Nepal signed agreements with
Madheshi Janadhikar Forum Nepal first but the
think tanks of government of Nepal said that it
was blunder signing the agreement without mixing
their agents in Madhesh Movement. The first
agreement was distorted and made situations to
join different actors in Madhesh Movement and
second agreement named 8 points was signed.
Since then those leaders of signatory parties have
collecting wealth in their bags instead of
empowering Madhesh and Madheshi. All have
seen their nakedness. Now they have planned to
join the government but they want of searching a
leaf of Pipal for covering their prestige which is
meaningless. Their honesty will be proved only
by behaviors because they have left the agenda
of One Madhesh One State. Now nothing is to
be dropped by naked Madheshi Parties.

Twists And Turns In The IndiaChina Border Saga -2
ZORAWAR DAULET SINGH
Let us, again, explore the
geopolitical
context
underlying
China’s
postures. While the ice had
been broken in SinoAmerican ties in 1971, the
normalisation process
assumed a greater impetus
after Mao’s demise and the
arrival of a reformist Deng
Xiaoping. A month before
Vajpayee’s February 1979
visit, Deng was in
Washington engaging in
candid exchanges with the
Carter administration on
countering the “Polar
Bear”. Both sides were
quite explicit that SinoAmerican geostrategy must
seek to wean India away
from its Soviet ally. US
national security advisor,
Zbigniew Brzezinski told
Deng, “The U.S. has
improved its relations with
India” and “it’s important
for Sino-Indian relations to
improve as well”. Deng
“agreed” with this logic. On
Pakistan, Deng urged
Carter to provide “solid
assistance”. In January
1980, Deng told visiting US
Defense Secretary, Harold
Brown that “after Pakistan
has been strengthened,
India will become a more
stabilising factor” in South
Asia. Brown’s comments
to Chinese Vice-Premier
Geng Biao are instructive:
“Indians must be brought to
realise that there is no
longer a concern about a
threat from China. We think
it is important that you
renew a dialogue with the
new Indian government and
seek a compromise
understanding on the border
issue that would permit India
to turn its attention
elsewhere.”
China’s
attempted rapprochement
with India must be located
in the wider geopolitics of
the time. In June 1981, formal border
talks were initiated after
Huang Hua’s meeting with
Indira Gandhi. Eight rounds
of talks were held between
December 1981 and 1988.
During the initial rounds, both
sides adhered to their
bargaining playbooks: India
sought to address the
eastern sector first which it
viewed as relatively solvable
and hoped to create a
positive atmosphere for
discussions on the western
sector. China favoured a
“comprehensive
settlement”. Then, in the
sixth round in November
1985, Chinese negotiators
pressed claims in the eastern
sector south of the
McMahon Line. In an
interview
to
Indian
journalists in June 1986,
China’s Vice Foreign
Minister, Liu Shuqing, said
“the eastern sector is the
biggest dispute and key to
the overall situation”. The
official Chinese statement
after the seventh round in
July 1986 stated, “The
Indian side noted a
hardening of the Chinese
stand…”. Again,
the
changing
geopolitical
environment might explain
the shift in Beijing’s
approach. By 1983, China
was once again beginning to
rebalance its foreign policy
towards non-alignment after
problems over Taiwan
resurfaced in US-China
relations. For its part,
Moscow was attempting its
own rapprochement with
the post-Maoist leadership
and offered to re-open
border talks in February
1982. The post-Brezhnev
Soviet leadership continued
its China outreach with
Huang Hua visiting
Moscow in November
1982. Finally, in July 1986,
Gorbachev sought to
structurally transform the
Sino-Soviet relationship and
pave the way for a
normalisation process
culminating in Gorbachev’s
1989 China visit. During
Gorbachev’s India visit in
November 1988, “The
Soviets made it clear that
they wanted to normalise
their relations with China,
and called upon India to do
likewise.” With Moscow
assuming a neutral position
on the India-China dispute,
the impact on China’s
calculus was clear. China
changed its posture by
demanding
serious
concessions in the eastern
sector. By the time of the
Rajiv
Gandhi-Deng
Xiaoping December 1988
summit, India’s global
geopolitical position had
actually weakened with
China no longer perceiving
India through a triangular
Sino-Soviet lens. The next big move came in
April 2005 during Wen

Shailendra Jha, Rautahat. Abhiyan Nepal has started campaign
for declaring Rautahat district free open defecation area. But
villagers accused that Abhiyan Nepal used police arrested people
who have no money to make toilet instead of assisting them.

Nepal Aid Efforts Hampered by
Discrimination: Amnesty International
London : Aid in quake-hit
Nepal is being hampered
by gender, caste and
ethnic discrimination,
Amnesty International has
said while cautioning the
government and army
against playing politics
over relief efforts.
The rights organisation at
a briefing here last night
called on Nepalese
authorities and the
international community to
put human rights at the
core of the earthquake
response.
“The
devastating
earthquake that hit Nepal
has killed thousands and
left hundreds of thousands
in dire need of aid. Nepali
and international actors –including civil society —
have responded to this
humanitarian
crisis
heroically, but there are
some serious issues
brewing that need to be
addressed urgently,” said
Richard Bennett, Amnesty
International’s Asia Pacific
Director.
“A human rights-compliant
approach to the disaster
response will be critical to
ensuring that the quest for
equality, justice and
accountability in Nepal does
not lose ground as the country
struggles to recover from the
devastation,” he said.
An Amnesty International
delegation that visited Nepal
in the aftermath of the
massive 7.9-magn itude
April 25 earthquake found
that groups who are often
the target of discriminatory
treatment in Nepal included
women, dalits, indigenous
people or people with
disabilities.
They are facing increased
challenges when accessing
urgently needed relief, it
said.

trekking route, which tops
the list of the most favored
routes by tourists in Nepal,
is totally safe. More than
100,000 tourists travel to
this route each year.
Likewise, Sagarmatha

Sagarmatha Base Camp,
the second in the list, also
did not sustain any damage.
Every year, over 33,000
tourists trek along this route.
Manaslu, Rolwaling, Rubi

Manakamana Cable
Car service resumes
Chitwan
:
The
Manakamana Cable Car
that was closed for long
after the April 25
earthquake has come into
operation from Sunday
though there would not be
regular worship in the
Manakamana Temple.
Station Manager of the
Cable Car Company DN
Kayastha said that the
decision to run the cable car
service
was
taken
considering the flow of
devotees.
The cable car that came into
operation from May 10 was
closed after the powerful
aftershocks on May 12.
As the cable car resumed
its service after one and a
half month gap, the
devotees have flocked to
the temple even to worship
outside the temple.
The temple has witnessed
serious crack due to quake
and it has tilted. The
demolition of the temple is
expected to take a month
period as the task would be
started on Monday after
worshiping the Gajur
(pinnacle) and taking out the
same from the temple.
Regular worship of goddess
Devi would be conducted by
constructing a makeshift
site after demolishing the
temple.
With the obstruction of the
cable car service for long,
the operators have had to
bear loss of Rs 50 million.

Deepika Padukone: My

Deepika Padukone, who was last seen as a caring

who keeps the family together. Actress Deepika
Padukone, who was last seen as a caring and selfless
daughter in this year’s hit movie “Piku”, says it’s her
mother who keeps the family together and inspires
her.
She is the daughter
of
former

and has a sister
who is a golf player,
but it’s her mother
that she looks up to
the most. “We all
inspire each other in different ways, but it’s my
mother who inspires me the most. She is the backbone
of our family. My father is a celebrity and my sister
started her golf career, but my mother was never in

mother is the real hero in my family,” Deepika told
reporters after being felicitated with Woman of the
Year award at the International Indian Film Academy
(IIFA) Weekend and Awards here on Sunday.The
actress, who has given hits like “Happy New Year”
and “Cocktail”, says she has experienced different
phases in her career.“‘Om Shanti Om’ wasn’t
quintessential debut film. I played double role in the
film. One was classic and the other one contemporary.
I like to do films with challenging roles. I know I’ve
made mistakes, but I am proud of those films as they
taught me something. I don’t come from a film
background and I didn’t even know how to deliver
dialogues, so it has been a learning experience,” said
the “Piku” star.
Aamir Khan’s ‘PK’ grosses record
100 million yuan in China
Bollywood superstar Aamir Khan’s “PK” has set a new record grossing
100 million yuan (USD 16.70 million) in China, becoming the first Indian
film to touch the three figure mark in the largely restrictive Chinese movie
market.
“PK”, which is having a
dream run in China since its
Chinese version was
released in on May 22, has
hit the hundred million yuan
mark today,” Prasad Shetty,
partner in Chinese firm
Strategic Alliance, which
promotes Indian films in
China, told PTI.
While it is a record for an Indian film, PK’s China revenue has surpassed
USD 10.6 million earnings in US-Canada, the traditional overseas market
for Indian films, he said.
Also “PK” has done better than George Clooney’s Hollywood movie
“Tomorrowland”, which was released around the same time in China, Shetty
said. This means “PK” has crossed a threshold in Chinese market making
it even bigger than US-Canada market, which could make the Indian film
media take the Chinese market seriously, he said.
There is euphoria about the movie’s success both in Indian film and diplomatic
circles as its success came when the two countries reached agreements
for joint productions giving them the status of locally produced movies.
This would provide filmmakers of the both the countries a huge combined
market. Unlike any other Indian movie, “PK” had the distinction of being
screened in about 5000 screens all over China. It is still expected to go on
for few more weeks in various theatres as it continues to do well, Shetty
said. The movie’s success shows that Indian films with common social
theme could have good run in China. While “PK” hits out at the blind
religious beliefs, Aamir’s previous movie “3 Idiots” also became very popular
in China as it highlighted the plight of students to succeed in a highly
competitive education system. “PK” has also won rave reviews in the
China with film critics pointing out that the country can learn from Bollywood
in producing comedy films.
