Make it to NY rally to support the April Uprising in Nepal !
We are witnessing an unprecedented and determined popular uprising against the monarchy leaving the seven parties' ambiguous agendas of some kind of reconciliation with the King behind.
Nepal is now at a point where it is not SPA movement that should seek popular support, but the other way round. We should ask SPA to support popular uprising and give leadership to it.
Girija had rejected the agenda of democratic republic right on the eve of the original 4 days strike. Now that common people are uprising for democratic republic by declaring "Loktantra/Ganatantra area" and discarding "Sri 5", we are yet to hear from Girija if he still rejects one agenda of republic democracy.
So, it is crucial that we demand leadership for pro-republic mass uprising from the seven parties before it is taken by the Maoists, whose very recent agreement/commitment to accept multiparty democracy is too fresh to count on.
We really have a leadership vacuum while the mass uprising is going on.
So, in addition to showing our solidarity and support to the mass uprising against monarchy going on, we also need to demand a pro-republic leadership from the seven parties alliance.
So my slogans at the rally will be:
Salute to Nepali People's Uprising for Democracy !
Viva La Republic !
Girija, say YES to Republic
Else, Leave the Movement.
SPA, Give Leadership to
Popular Uprising Against Monarchy.
Gyanendra, You Shall Pay
For Every Wound and Blood
of Demonstrators.
Make it to UN Headquarter, NY this Friday to support the April Uprising in Nepal !
