Reality of Guns in Madhesh

By : Dhirendra Yadav dhiru

I was heading to my relatives few days ago in Sapatri district, my own birthplace. The place was not far away from the headquarter of Saptary district, Rajbiraj. Around 7.30, I suddenly saw a group of people whose face was covered with handkerchief appeared one by one on the road, I was in my bike, so I was forced to stop it as I didnt get any chance to move my bike further. Initially I was frightened. The panic was so strong that I thought these are dacoits, who are generally from Indian territory and usually come to loot the properties of Nepalese people.but my panic gradually cool down when they introduce themselves as a group( they didnt say the name), frightening for the freedom of Madhesi people. They insure me that they petrol the area, as they have given responsibilities from high-command. My confidence level grew up. I have heard a lot about the outfits. The fear of life was hunting me at the crucial moment as I was standing on the verge of life. Gaining my strength, I thought as I am not staying in Saptary for a long time they will not get even atom of chance to say me I am informer of police. So, they are forced to kill me. At the right time an idea struck into my mind that why shouldnt I ask some reasonable questions regarding their demands and master plan for their so-called revolution. I thought live meeting with the outfits may bring some fruitful dialogue and I may change my presuppose opinion towards them. As I have been staying in Kathmandu for years, I have heard a lot of negative and positive aspects of the outfits but never get such chance to talk face to face. I was really hopeful at that time. My hopes and series of questions which I had created in my mind freezed. All hopes went into vain when they threatened me to give my bike to them. I was perplexed. We want your bike for sometime as a help for party one of said. I was not even turned my face toward him other said to me Give your address we will return your bike. The idea seems not bad but the reality was different. When I requested them that I need my bike for myself and I have a lot of work to do by certain time. They didnt listen to me rather threatened me saying Do you love your bike or yourself. Now again in panic recalling the first thought that some group in the name of revolution snatch others bike in order to sell in Indian market. The incident happens in such a mini-seconds that I never imagined that I can be recovered from the trap of so-supposed revolutionary group. But some people gather there as it was evening time and also a way leading to different villages. Slowly and gradually they disappeared one by one from the spot. People warned me not to travel the area with bike from evening to morning because anyone can be victim of the groups. They aware me with a lot of information regarding the outfits. Earliar people were also involed in the illegal works like looting, killing, kidnapping and rape. Now they carry the same work but they just legalize their hazardous work by the name of Madhes

Andolan. They say their works are for emancipation of madhesi but the reality is they work in order to maintain their status quo. Those groups have good relation with the Indian groups. They have already taken Indian Rasan card. They never care the people of Madhes rather they care the wealth of Madhes in order to built houses in Patana. Most of the leaders have money and houses in India. And rest of the leader who somehow maintain the position saying they want to a part of Nepal and Nepali pltitics, their hidden motives is just to be a prominent leader of Terai. They were the then land lord of Madhes and now want to continue it in the modern form of so-called leader on the basis of looting and kidnapping. Any one can easily get the truth if they ask a question to themselves. Why they are spreading in dozens of groups, if they have same agenda for Madhes? They take their icon as Prachand saying if Prachand can be prime minister of Nepal by killing hundreds of innocent people why they cant be minister?.
