‘Communists are not democrats. They cannot tolerate criticism from their opponents. They do not believe in electoral competition. They become autocratic whenever they get the chance. They believe in a state-controlled economy.’

The aforementioned statement is still heard from time to time. The collapse of the Soviet Union and the changes in Eastern Europe made the voices of critics of the communist regime louder in the 1990s. At that time, those who believed in pluralism were more enthusiastic. Its impact was also felt in Nepal.

When the Communist Party and its leaders were being accused of being autocratic, UML Deputy General Secretary Bamdev Gautam made public the idea of ​​​​putting all opponents in one pit, which caused a stir in political circles. On Asad 14, 2052, Deputy General Secretary Gautam made this statement public during a speech at a program organized in Kathmandu, and he was widely criticized. At that time, he had expressed that if imperialists and reactionaries came together, they would be put in one pit. During his speech, Gautam had said, ‘The leader of the Russian Communist Party, Zyuganov, is also becoming a presidential candidate. In Delhi, he asked me how we won?’ I said, we are still doing strange things. He asked, what will we do if the imperialists and reactionaries come? I said, we will dig a single hole and fill it. If they come separately, we have to dig many holes. If they come together, we will dig one hole.' He had said in one context, 'The king, the RPP and the Congress should understand this, if they do not understand, they will understand after they stumble.'

Gautam's statement was introduced in the National Assembly meeting when the UML-led Manmohan Adhikari government announced mid-term elections. Gautam's statement became a topic of discussion in the National Assembly meeting when the House of Representatives was dissolved. On Asad 16, 2052, the opposition criticized Gautam's statement, expressing disagreement with it, during the discussion in the National Assembly on the Human Rights Commission Bill 2052, which was proposed by Nepali Congress MP Mahesh Acharya. MP Mahesh had questioned how a party (UML) that claims to lump everyone in one hole can uphold human rights. He had said that he had presented the bill in the backdrop of the government trying to fulfill the narrow interests of the UML party. He argued that elections are an opportunity for the people to express their opinions. Former Minister of State for Finance Mahesh had said, ‘UML leaders talk about unfettered capitalism when they go abroad, and when they come back here, they talk about Leninism that the world has abandoned.’

He had accused UML leaders of going to wipe the statue of the king with a silk handkerchief one day and showing an apolitical character that threatens the king the next day. He had questioned how the UML, which has developed into a party like Varna-Shankar without any ideological stance, can uphold the rights of the people. Deputy Prime Minister Madhav Kumar Nepal had said in the National Assembly that human rights cannot be a foreign policy. He also expressed the view that he would adopt a foreign policy based on the UN Charter. But the opposition argued that his views were contradictory.

Congress MP Narahari Acharya said that such a statement by an official leader of the ruling party indicated that the opposition would be put in the same pit. Another MP Bidur Poudel criticized the UML official for making a terrible and condemnable threat to put the opposition in the pit. He said, "This statement indicated that there would be a clash between the symbols of violence and the anti-violence group." He also believed that the Human Rights Bill would clarify the advocacy made by those in power that slaughtering cows is a human right. A few months ago, Padmaratna Tuladhar, who won the election from the UML's Sun symbol, was criticized for making a statement that cows should be slaughtered. MP Poudel made the statement in this context. At that time, the UML was accused of trying to incite a united society over the issue of cow slaughter. The party itself had to clarify this.

Mohan Chandra's anger towards UML

Mohan Chandra Adhikari is a strong leader of the 2028 Jhapa movement. He was called the Nelson Mandela of Nepal because he spent a long time in prison during the anti-panchayat movement. UML made him a member of the National Assembly. But he had left the UML and declared himself independent. The same officer seemed very aggressive in opposing the UML. The uprising of the proletariat that started from Naxalwadi in West Bengal spread to Jhapa. In the meantime, it is still criticized for launching a movement to 'cut off the heads of feudal lords' and killing people while protesting the system. The leader of the same movement, Mohan Chandra, had been very aggressive towards the UML within 6 years of the 2046 change.

Mohan Chandra, speaking in the National Assembly on Asad 16, 2052, had said that the UML had terrorized the people by threatening to take up arms. UML Deputy General Secretary Bamdev Gautam, referring to Gautam's threat through the public media, said that they wanted to seize power forever. He had said, 'The UML has spoken the language of guns. What does it mean for a responsible party to say that they are ready to do anything to those who come to confront them?' Gautam had said three days ago on Asad 14 at a program organized in Kathmandu, 'If the king and the Congress try to create trouble, the UML is ready to explode like a bomb. How to bring about change depends on the circumstances. Russia and China had taken up arms for change.' He had said that if you go to destroy us, we will go to ashes. Mohan Chandra had taken up the same context and criticized UML. Saying that UML leaders go abroad and talk about one thing about their change, but after returning to Nepal, they talk about multi-party democracy to garner the people's votes, Mohan Chandra had accused Prime Minister Manmohan of not knowing human rights. He had expressed his anger that ministers were increasing intolerance in society when they should have been fighting against the exploitation of people.

A puriya of life water in MPs!

A discussion on the Human Rights Bill was going on in the National Assembly meeting on Asad 16, 2052. Speaker of the Assembly Beni Bahadur Karki had given permission to Nepal Sadbhavana Party-supported MP Rameshwor Ray Yadav to speak. After receiving permission, Yadav stood up from his seat and said that he was not well and that he had not read the bill. He was asked a symbolic question from the journalist's gallery why he did not speak. When the question came, he pointed to his stomach with one hand from his seat and took an object from his pocket with the other hand, which was, 'Ek Puriya Jeevan Jal.'

During the preparations for the mid-term elections, the news prepared by making reference to the statement of UML leader Bamdev, the accusations made by the main opposition Congress and leftist leader Mohan Chand against UML, and the activities of the National Assembly meeting was published by Kantipur Daily on Asad 25, 2052 under the title Strong Opposition to the UML Government by Leftist Leader Adhikar. When the House of Representatives was dissolved, the Human Rights and Nepal Health Professionals Council Bill were presented for discussion in the National Assembly meeting.
