When Mr Keshav Bhattarai says that the SC has defended "the national interest", what he really means is: it has defended the interest of Congress and its so-called coalition. Also, his sentiments against the editorials of Hindustant Times and Times of India are unfounded. I think they were very objective analyses. Dr Tiwari has summed it up very well too when he says, with its decision, the Supreme Court has become just another political party.

HEADLINE: Communist government premier resigns following defeat in parliament

DATELINE: KATHMANDU, Sept 10

BODY:
Nepal's prime minister Man Mohan Adhikari Sunday evening tendered his resignation to King Birendra following his communist party's loss of a parliamentary no-confidence motion, state-run radio announced.

The king accepted Adhikari's resignation and asked him to continue in office until a new government could be formed, the radio said quoting a royal palace press communique.

The Communist Party-United Marxist and Leninist (NCP-UML) minority government Sunday afternoon lost the no-confidence motion tabled by the main opposition Nepali Congress (NC) leader Sher Bahadur Deuba at the house of representatives.

Altogether 107 MPs of the NC, the rightist Rastriya Prajatantra Party (RPP), the pro-India Nepal Sadvhavana Party (NSP) and independents voted against the communist government, ending its ten-month-old rule.

The communist party had won only 88 votes.

HEADLINE: Nepal's communist government collapses

DATELINE: KATHMANDU, Sept 10

BODY:
Nepal's minority communist government fell on Sunday and the opposition was expected to form a new government within 24 hours, state television and radio reported.

The Nepal Communist Party-United Marxist and Leninist (NCP-UML) government lost a vote of censure in the house of representatives by 107 votes to 88.

The Nepali Congress, the right wing Rastriya Prajatantra Party (RPP), the small Nepal Sadvhavana Party (NSP) and independents all voted against the 10-month old government.

"It was a peaceful transfer of power by the NCP-UML and the new cabinet headed by (Congress leader Sher Bahadur) Deuba will be sworn in Monday," a parliamentary official said.

The vote was held after the supreme court ruled last month that King Birendra had been wrong to dissolve parliament and call new elections for November in accordance with a request from Prime Minister Man Mohan Adhikari, a veteran communist.

Adhikari said before the vote he would resign if defeated. The communists were the largest single party after elections last November but with 88 seats in the 205-member house could only pass legislation with opposition backing.

"Today's successful democratic transfer of power has further consolidated
Nepal's parliamentary process," speaker Ram Chandra Paudyel said after announcing the result.

On Sunday evening he is scheduled to write to the King to tell him formally of the NCP-UML's defeat.

The parliamentary vote had been scheduled for Saturday but was postponed a day after the NCP-UML asked that Adhikari be allowed more time to prepare his defence.

He has been in hospital after breaking his shoulder in a helicopter crash last month and his speech was broadcast live on state radio and television from his hospital bed on Sunday afternoon.

"The NCP-UML government has never done anything that diminished the dignity of parliament -- it is surprising that some people are saying the government has weakened the legislature," Adhikari said.

"That people used to tyranny seek to teach democracy is ridiculous," he added.

Adhikari had earlier said he would accept the result of the vote and denied his government had failed to control corruption, control market prices, mend the the country's economy and maintain law and order.

"In fact, during our rule, law and order were very good," he said.

HEADLINE: Nepali premier may resign

DATELINE: KATHMANDU, Sept 10

BODY:
Nepali premier Man Mohan Adhikari was likely to resign Sunday ahead of a parliamentary no-confidence motion to be tabled against him by the country's main opposition, ruling party sources said here.

The communist party sources said the prime minister would quit before the motion in a bid to the flagging morale of communist parliamentarians and activists, who have been embroiled in months of conflict with the opposition.

But, depsite the persistent reports ciruclating here, Adhikari and his
Nepal Communist Party-United Marxist and Leninist (NCP-UML) party denied the claims, saying he not quit before the motion scheduled for later in the day.

"The rumour of premier's resignation is baseless because the party has already announced that it would face the censure motion Sunday after Mr. Adhikari delivers his statement on the motion," an NCP-UML Standing Committee member said.

The premier himself told reporters that he would face the no-confidence debate, but said he would resign if his party lost the vote.

"If I fail to win the confidence of the house, I will not remain in the government. I will not be doing anything from anyone's pressure but will pursue the constitution," Adhikari said from his hospital bed.

Talking to newsman from his hospital bed Adhikari said:

He also denied opposition allegations that his government had failed to control administrative corruption, control market prices, mend the country's economy and maintain law and order.

"The charges on us are baseless and fictitious. In fact, during our rule, law and order situation was very good," he said.

"Revenue has increased and trade to foreign nations have increased by 8.5 percent," the premier said.

"The former NC government put the allegations on us to cover up its mistakes committed during its three-year rule," he said.

In the debate, Adhikari was expected to counter allegations made by the opposition parties against him and his government. The house was due to vote on the motion at around 3 p.m., the source said.

The opposition -- the Nepali Congress (NC), the rightist Rastriya Prajatantra Party (RPP) and the pro-India Nepal Sadbhavana Party (NSP) was to decide the fate of the 10-month-old communist government.

The motion motion tabled by the main opposition Nepali Congress (NC) leader Sher Bahadur Deuba, comes following the reinstatement of parliament by the supreme court after the king dissolved it earlier this year on the advice of the premier.

HEADLINE: Nepal's first communist government voted out

DATELINE: Kathmandu

BODY:
The minority government of the Nepal Communist Party (United Marxist-Leninist UML) was, as expected, voted out of power in a no-confidence battle in parliament on Sunday.

The vote result in the lower house of parliament was 107 for to 88 against, after an impassioned defence of his government's performance by Prime Minister Man Mohan Adhikari, 74, from his hospital bed.

The defeat of the minority Communist government paves the way for a loose-knit coalition government to be formed by the main opposition party, Nepali Congress, the National Democratic Party and the Nepal Sadbhabana Party.

The man to succeed Adhikari as prime minister is 49-year-old Sher Bahadur Deuba.

The Communist government was formed in November 1994 after mid-term polls returned a hung parliament. Despite King Birendra's invitation to form a government none of the political parties came forward to form one with coalition with others.

The king then had to call on the UML as the single largest party in the house to form a government.

The Nepali Congress Party which moved the no-confidence motion, had become more and more nervous about the UML's rising popularity among the largely illiterate and poor people of the kingdom.

The party, along with the National Democratic Party, had feared an increase in the UML's seats in parliament should elections be called by the communists.

The speaker of the house will now go to the Nepalese royal palace and inform the king of the no-confidence vote outcome.

The king, who has been playing the role of a titular head of state since 1990, will relieve Adhikari and call on the leader of the opposition to form a new government.

It is the only second time in Nepal's history that a government has been ousted in a no-confidence vote. The first was in 1983 when the government led by Prime Minister Surya Bahadur Thapa was voted out. dpa ds

HEADLINE: Nepalese premier to reply to House debate from hospital bed

DATELINE: Kathmandu

BODY:
In an unprecedented move, Nepalese Prime Minister Man Mohan Adhikari, 74, is to offer a reply from his hospital bed in the debate on the no-confidence motion against his government.

The prime minister, recovering from an August 14 helicopter crash, said doctors at Kathmandu's Teaching Hospital had advised him he requires three more weeks of complete rest.

His request to the speaker of the House to postpone debate until his release had been rejected, leaving him no choice but to plead his case from his hospital bed, a presidential spokesman said.

The no-confidence motion against the minority Communist government was formally put before the lower house of Nepalese parliament on Thursday by the leader of the Nepali Congress party, Sher Bahadur Deuba, who heads the opposition.

A meeting of the House committee agreed Saturday to allow the premier to make his reply at the hospital and, if unable physically continue, other members of the government would be allowed to continue his arguments.

A vote on the motion was set for Sunday and analysts predicted the minority government would lose.

Man Mohan Adhikari had in June dissolved the House and ordered fresh elections for November. But in a surprise verdict, the Nepalese Supreme Court revived the House and a no-confidence motion was then taken up.. dpa sb

HEADLINE: Former Nepalese prime minister implicated in airline scandal

DATELINE: Kathmandu

BODY:
Investigators have found former Nepalese prime minister and leader of the opposition Nepali Congress Party, Girija Prasad Koirala, guilty of abusing his power in a scandal involving the country's airline, the government said Tuesday.

A three-member commission headed by judge Min Bahadur Raymajhi also implicated the then tourism minister, Ram Hari Joshi of involvement in the scandal, the government added.

The results of the probe were made public days before the minority communist United Marxist-Leninist (UML) government faces a vote of confidence.

The vote comes after the Nepali Congress Party, in power from 1991 to 1994, registered a no-trust motion against the nine-month-old minority communist government in June this year, alleging mismanagement.

The commission believes the two men were involved in a deal which led to Royal Nepal Airlines losing millions of rupees, the government said. The losses followed a decision in 1993 to appoint a British-based Indian company as the general sales agent for the airline in Europe.

The communist government said action would be initiated against the men.

The public accounts committee of the Nepalese parliament indicted Girija Prasad Koirala in July last year but Koirala, who was then prime minister, dissolved the house and ordered fresh elections before the committee report could report to parliament.

Koirala is alleged to have called directors of the airline to his official residence and used his influence to get them to award the deal to the Indian company. dpa tpm

So the communist prime minister is gone. Windows 95 hits Kathmandu in a really big way (i.e. stories if copyright violations abound). And the Kathmandu Post is now on the World Wide Web (special thanks to Rajendra at UIUC, Sanjib Rajbhandari and the gang at Mercantile and Kumar Oli and other techno-savvy journalist at the Post).

Speaking of which, can you imagine the folks at the National Computer Center (NCC) joining hands with the Nepal Door- Sanchar to fly the Rising Nepal in cyberspace? No way, right. Ah! The timidity of state-owned enterprises!.

What else is new in Kathmandu and in Nepal? Plenty of things. For starters, fashion shows are the rage these days. Tomorrow night is the night Nepal chooses a Miss Nepal, amidst the sell-out crowd of literati and the glitterati at the new convention hall in Baneswor. The Zee TV generation dots the numerous cafes, dance clubs, hang-out places. And one sings to the tune of "dust, dust, baby" when walking on the streets of the capital.

Outside of the capital, things are placid. And more beautiful. Life as usual. In other words, poorer and poorer. And, oh, unemployment remains the numero uno problem. Any solutions?

And the yeti still lives up in the Himalayas. So goes the legend, at least.

Igor Ivanov, First Deputy Foreign Minister of the Russian Federation, who received the delegation, expressed the hope that putting Russian-Nepalese political consultations on a regular footing would make them an effective mechanism for coordinating all aspects of their traditionally friendly bilateral relations.

The Russian side at the talks pointed out that relations with the Himalayan Kingdom have an "independent value" for Moscow which "does not intend to make them dependent on the state of relations with other countries" . The sides confirmed their resolve to make maximum use of "the potential for cooperation, first of all in the trade and economic sphere, which has not yet been fully used" .

[15] Text of report by All-India Radio

The crisis in Nepal appears to have blown over with the ruling Communist Party of Nepal deciding to face the vote of no confidence in parliament and sit with the opposition if they lose. Talking to newsmen in Kathmandu after the parliamentary party meeting, the party General Secretary and Deputy Prime Minister Mr Madhav Kumar Nepal said they may differ with the Supreme Court verdict but will respect it and uphold constitutional norms and values. AIR's All-India Radio Kathmandu correspondent says the party did not put up much resistance in the lower house yesterday 5th September to the convening of a special session. Even the frontal organizations of the ruling party have scaled down their agitation against the verdict.

Meanwhile, the prime minister, Mr Manmohan Adhikari, who is convalescing in the hospital, has again requested the speaker to postpone voting on a no-confidence motion as he would like to reply to the debate personally as soon as he is able to do so. Voting on the motion is slated for Saturday 9th Serptember after two days of debate.

DATELINE: KATMANDU, Sept. 7

BODY:
Sher Bahadur Deuba, leader of the main opposition Nepali Congress Party, presented Parliament with a no- confidence motion against the ruling administration Thursday in a strong blow against the nation's 9-month-old Communist government. Deuba, the parliamentary party leader of the Nepali congress and the kingdom's next prime minister, charged the Communist government of economic mismanagement, corruption, undermining the judiciary in presenting the motion. The motion will be put to vote after three days of debate scheduled to end Saturday. Speaker of the House of Representatives Ram Chandra Paudel has not set a date for the vote. Ruling party lawmakers rushed toward the speaker's chair and smashed the lectern in the first session after Paudel allowed Deuba to present the motion. Paudel then adjourned the session for 30 minutes. The legislators had stormed the lectern in an attempt to deliver a letter from Prime Minister Man Mohan Adhikari, in which the leader asked for a three-week postponement of the no-confidence vote so he could attend the special Parliament session and discuss the motion. Adhikari had sent a letter, arguing that the rules of procedure state that a prime minister needs to be ''present in Parliament during discussions of such motions. Adhikari said a medical panel ordered him to rest for at least three weeks to recover from injuries sustained in a helicopter crash last month. Opposition members argued that only the king can send special messages to parliament. Deuba again presented the motion after the break ordered by Paudel. There were no further disruptions. Law Minister Subas Newang read Adhikari's letter after Paudel allowed him to speak on a matter of public importance. A coalition of three opposition parties and independents with 107 seats in the 205-member House is poised to replace the minority Communist government when it is inevitably defeated.

HEADLINE: Nepal party moves no-confidence against government

DATELINE: NEW DELHI, Sept 7

BODY:
Nepal's main opposition party on Thursday tabled a no-confidence motion against the nine-month-old minority communist government in the lower house of parliament, party officials said.

"The motion is not inspired by our anger or jealousy towards anyone but by the reponsibilty to save the country from the grave situation created by the United Marxist Leninist (UML) party," Sher Bahadur Deuba, leader of Nepali Congress, said.

Analysts say the government, which has 89 seats in the 202-member assembly, is sure to be defeated on the motion, proposed by major opposition parties who have 106 seats among them.

If the government is defeated, opposition parties can form a coalition government.

The opposition said the government had overstepped the constitution and pushed the country towards political uncertainty and economic confusion.

The Supreme court had ruled Prime Minister Man Mohan Adhikary's recommendation to dissolve the lower house of parliament and hold elections was unconstitutional.

Earlier, the ruling United Marxist Leninist (UML) party caused an uproar in parliament to prevent the opposition tabling the vote of no-confidence against the government.

As Deuba rose to introduce the censure vote, communist deputies drowned out his voice by banging their tables and shouting, and toppled his podium.

He was escorted back to his seat and the speaker adjourned parliament for 30 minutes.

A UML leader, Devi Prasad Ojha, demanded the motion be introduced when Adhikary, who is recovering in hospital from a fractured collar-bone, could face the house.

postponement of the session for three weeks so he could be present for the debate.

Members of the opposition charged the ruling party with using "delaying tactics to stick to power."

A UML leader, Devi Prasad Ojha, demanded the motion be introduced when Adhikary, who is recovering in hospital from a fractured collar-bone, could face the house.

Adhikary appealed to King Birendra and parliament last week for a postponement of the session for three weeks so he could be present for the debate.

"We are in no mood to wait until the time demanded by Adhikary," another opposition Rastriya Prajatantra Party leader Prakash Chandra Lohani said. "Any minister could provide replies or the prime minister could give a written reply."

Members of the opposition charged the ruling party with using "delaying tactics to stick to power."

The assembly, which King Birendra dissolved in June on Adhikary's recommendation, reconvened on Tuesday to discuss the no-confidence motion against the nine-month-old government.

King Birendra was obliged to reconvene parliament after the Supreme Court ruled unconstitutional Adhikary's recommendation to dissolve parliament and hold fresh elections.

Analysts say the government, which has 89 seats in the 202-member assembly, is sure to be defeated on the motion, proposed by major opposition parties who have 106 seats among them.

1. If you are looking for local 'organized' Nepali groups, you can get the names from Rajendra's http://www.cen.uiuc.edu/~rshrestha/organiz. There is no ONE national organization, however.

2. If you are looking for a written report on Nepalis in America, there is none that I'm aware of. However, if you are willing to spend some time, you can get hold of data from 1990 census (U.S.) and run tables and write a profile. First, you have to decide, however, who are "Nepalis in America": those born in Nepal, or those who trace primary and/or secondary ancestry to Nepal, or both. These are the only ways, i.e. place of birth and ancestry, (as I know) to identify
"Nepalis in America" from the census data.

Just a few days ago, Prof. Mohan Shrestha of Bowling Green, Ohio, informed me that he is planning to organize a seminar in 1996 on the subjects and issues related to "Nepalis in America". A similar seminar initiated by Prof. Shrestha and sponsored by ANMA, ANA etc. was held a couple of years ago that dealt with the subjects and issues related to Nepal.

Can you wait for a year or so? ;) ;) ;)

**************************************************************** Date: Fri, 08 Sep 1995 08:44:30 EDT To: The Nepal digest Editor <nepal-request@cs.niu.edu> From: "Pramod K. Mishra" <pkm@acpub.duke.edu> Subject: Reply on Arun III

Dear Editor,

My apologies for the bad format of my piece on Arun III that strained Mr. Pandey's eyes, but I admire his tenacity to plow through the whole piece and post a critique.

Although it's like crying over spilt milk, I'm going to reply to Mr. Pandey's pointed critique of my piece. At a broader level, the whole Arun III phenomenon should make both those who are proud of their "technical" expertise about such projects as Arun III and those who are amateurs in technical fields but are engaged in studying developmental economics ponder over not just where a nut will be screwed but also how that particular nut will affect the long-term health of the whole machine.

Now to Mr. Pandey's critique. Mr. Pandey in his critique seems to hide his "technical" knowledge under such academic jargons of development economics as "capability building" and "sustainability" (all upper case, mind you). If we had waited in Nepal for our local civil engineers to build the Mahendra, Prithwi, and Kodari high ways, we might have to walk ro ride a mule from Biratnagar to Kathmandu even today. What Mr. Pandey seems to forget, maybe overwhelmed by his technical knowledge, is Nepal's history and geography. Historically isolated, endowed with a difficult terrain, Nepal all of a sudden finds itself connected with the rest of the wrold, particularly the fast-paced development of overpopulated India. By the time this jargon capabililty building will be realized, the gap between India's industrial progress based on its Nehruite policy of building India's infrastructure and Nepal's snail-paced "capability building" will be so big that other adverse consequeces will inevitably follow, let alone the starvation and slavery of its people.

Mr. Pandey repeats the argument of higher cost and compares the purchasing power of Americans and Nepalis. Of course, I don't think Nepalis are richer than the Americans, but that doesn't mean anything in this context. Even though Americans are richer than Nepalis, they buy cheaper gas for their vehicles, and even at a higher rate, Nepalis run their cars and motor cycles. But then again, it's not just a matter of growing tomatoes and selling them to earn profit. To compare Arun III in terms of investment and profit, input and output in such narrow terms as cost per unit I think is somewhat short-sighted. You don't build your roads, your basic communication facilities, your law and order structure--in deed, the very backbone of the country--to earn earn immediate profit in terms of coins that you can count right there. Even at a loss, such things as power and roads have the potential for long-term benefit; they help other sectors to produce and earn profit even at their own loss. And the production eventually helps the whole country.

Now this is my impression. But Mr. Pandey ridicules my impression and advances his "facts" (in upper case again). Facts. Facts. Facts. He wants me to be a slave to his facts, subject myself to the tyranny of his facts, as though those facts descended right from the mouth of God. From Vico, Thomas Kuhn, Pasteur to our local prosecutor and defense lawyer, everyone has taught us to be suspicious of facts. Facts only look facts; they very often hide the ideologies and conscious and unconscious intentions of their makers. I think we need to be a little suspicious of facts, and don't believe in everything that NGO's propound. Every organization has its own conscious interests and unconcous blindspots.

About the villages. Well, it's true that the villagers can't eat until the city dwellers fill their bellies. But I don't think all the 201 mw power would have been used to turn on the t.v. sets in the towns.

Mr. Pandey says that privately and locally generated power is the alternative, and he gives one example. Well, it sounds like Gandhi's call for cottage industry in India in place of large scale, heavy industries. Although its value cannot be denied, locally generated and privately owned stations alone might easily replicate the zamindari system, dividing the country in fiefdoms. But that does not mean that local resources should not be tapped; only that such basic resources as power and roads should not be owned by private individuals in a country like Nepal. Roads are not owned by private individuals even in a highly developed capitalist system like the U.S.

Finally, Mr. Pandey makes Arun III and other alternatives an either-or choice. Why not both. Why not Arun III to be completed in ten years while other small-scale projects to be completed sooner.

Infrastructure building cannot be viewed, in my opinion, in narrow profit and loss terms. Time is running out for Nepal, for Nepal is no longer isolated any more from te rest of the world. Nepal's economy is not self-sustaining, so its projects, particularly infrastructure-buildingones, also cannot be viewed strictly by the investment-profit paradigms of self-sustaining advanced countries. If we depended on our capacity to do things on our own, buy stuff on our own money, the country would have been long bankrupt. What Nepal needs is to figure out ways to build its infrastructure for indigious industrial production to have at least a semblance of independence and self-respect before India's giant strides into the twenty-first century, and not get lost in terms like "capability building" and wait for an uncertain future.
