?Letter from the Underground?
Mafia Sardars raising their heads again!
- Mathura P. Shrestha
Sharat Chandra Shaha has now reorganized his notorious secret service commandos to silence and exterminate dissenters and ?enemies of the royal palace.? He has established his headquarters in Nirmal Nivas (King?s residence, as the king does not dare to live in Royal Palace said to be haunted by the ghosts of murdered king Birendra and his entire family members) and working hands in gloves with the king.
The main objectives of the secret service are:
1. To liquidate all opposing forces and persons, if necessary by using Gestapo style abductions, disappearances, extra judicial murders and torture. This includes reign of terror forcing everybody to dead silence or unqualified support to the king. He also has vowed to continue to tighten the grips in media by bugging, blocking or censoring information to wean off the people with any worthwhile news and views.
2. To fragment political parties, civil societies, human rights defenders, media personnel, professional organizations, ethnic groups, and dalits and other communities by enticing their members to personal feuds, playing one against others, slandering and discrediting their leaders or those who do not come to their terms, blackmailing, luring and bribing them off from their principles and missions, and by corrupting them by all possible means (money, muscles, manipulations ? the so called 3Ms -, royal favors with lands and public sites, high posts, contracts etc.). Divide and rule is the motto.
3. To prepare sociopolitical ?incidents or scenario? to play China cards against India, India cards against China, and one country against another. (People in Nepal call this a male prostitute syndrome).
4. To bribe key public servants, security personnel, intellectuals, journalists, law-makers, political fractions in foreign countries to force their governments to support the king?s coup d??tat and to continue military and other aids to fight off the Maoists.
5. To sterilize all political parties to nonentity so that old Panchayat autocracy is reinstated.
He is already mobile, secretly moving here and there, in and out of the country with money bags and instruments of power. It is also rumored that 4 key HR defenders are listed to be made ?disappeared?.
Every body knows who Sharat Chandra Shaha is or was. He is too notorious. During Panchayat regime he misused his authority to discredit Nepal?s fledgling sport institutions, industries, and of course the sportsmen on whom the people of Nepal showered so much love and trust. He used some sportsmen to dispense torture and even extrajudicial murders to political prisoners and abductees with the techniques they were coaxed in gymnasia. He misused most of the sportsmen and trainees by forcing them to carry the national flags with hidden ?hard drugs? in their blue hems along with flag posts hollowed and stuffed with drugs, false bottomed suitcases containing sports goods during international sports events. He was one of many sardars of drug mafia, antique smuggling ring and, money laundering gangs. He discredited Nepal and its people world over. Prior to that, everybody in every country loved Nepal and its people for their simplicity, good manners, and trustworthiness. In addition, he founded a secret service commando ? people called its members, the Mandale thugs. It was trained and used to eliminate political dissenters, rivals and ?unwanted? elements in the system and royal palace. After 1990 movement he hid in Singapore and Malaysia although these countries had strict drug control laws. It is said that he befriended with old foreign minister of Malaysia, now ousted out of power and some corrupt bosses in the bureaucracy of Singapore. He is said to have amassed a huge sum drug dividends in the banks of Singapore, Malasia, Switzerland and Austria.
I appeal all political leaders, civil society advocates, human rights defenders and all people to be aware of it, and actively refuse to be used or deviated. We need not be afraid as the people and time are with us. Victory of people-centered democracy is certain.
