Victims of Nepal Army
By KTM Metro Reporter in Kathmandu
March 18, 2010: the legislative Committee on Women, Children and Social Welfare, and the Government of Nepal have set up their separate Committee on Investigation into the Nepal Army personnel killing three innocent women of a single family including a 12-year old girl at the Bardiya National Park on March 11, 2010, and taking the husband and father of those victims into custody charging him the poacher and his family members at the Bardiya National Park.
On March 17, 2010, under the pressure of the human rights activists and of the members of the legislature, the Nepal Army has released the man taken into custody alleging him and his family members poachers.
This is not the first time the Nepal Army personnel have killed the innocent people and then covered up the killing. On December 14, 2005, the then Royal Nepal Army killed twelve innocent people at a shrine to Goddess Kali Devi on the Chihan Danda in Nagarkot, about 28 km east of Kathmandu. The then rebelling Nepali Congress President Girija Prasad Koirala had promised the people to take actions against the culprits but once he took over the power in 2006, Mr. Koirala forgot to do anything on this matter.
Currently also, Prime Minister Madhav Nepal and his Defense Minister Vidhya Bhandari had promoted the man indicted for enforced disappearance of 49 people and have been protecting the killer of a minor. Consequently, the Nepal Army personnel responsible for protecting the international borders have been emboldened to kill the innocent Nepalis. So, the government should stop using the Nepal Army personnel for guarding anything and should immediately fire Defense Minister Vidya Bhandari and Chief of Army Staff (CoAS) Chhatraman Singh Gurung for the Nepal Army personnel repeatedly killing the innocent Nepalis, and Prime Minister Madhav Nepal should immediately quit the office for not being able to protect the lives and property of the citizenry.
However, such things are not happening, as Prime Minister Madhav Nepal has awarded his Defense Minister Vidhya Bhandari with the foreign tour for a week starting on March 12. She is visiting china for a week. Similarly, Madhav Nepal is sending CoAS to Britain.
