What you should know
With the order from the Supreme Court to investigate the 'Gaur murder' that took place on 7th Chait, 2063, the debate about the memory of the then incident and the possible future scenario has risen to the mainstream.
When two political parties tried to hold a public meeting at the same place, has come to a situation where the supreme court has to issue a mandate to bring out the investigation report of the violent murder case and to investigate the accused, because the investigation of this incident in which 27 people were killed has so far become an undertaking of political manipulation rather than an impartial legal investigation. Gaur massacre Murder violence under political cover is not new in Nepal. However, the latest mandate has strengthened the possibility that a file of any heinous incident suppressed or ignored on the basis of political power relations can be resurfaced at any time. If the process of investigation and prosecution proceeds in a prompt and responsible manner, a brick will be added to the effort to separate politics and crime.
The Gaur scandal is the result of a power struggle between the Madhesi Janadhikar Forum, which burned the interim constitution issued on January 1, 2063, and the Madhesi Janadhikar Forum, which was nourished by the Madhesh movement, and the Maoists, who are in high spirits after entering the peace process as leaders of the 10-year armed struggle. On March 7, 2063, at Rice Mills Chowr in Gaur, Rautahat, Maoists and the Forum also held a program at the same place. For the program, both sides had built a platform at a distance of 100 meters.
What happened in Gaur murder 18 years ago ? For the
The Gaur massacre was till now a matter of political speculation. After the order of the Supreme Court, there should be a fair investigation of this incident. The issue of holding any person or party accountable should not become a matter of political maneuvering. Because this matter is also an exercise for the victim's family to get justice and the innocent to be acquitted.
Although both the Forum and the Maoists were political forces at the time, the incident was not of a political nature. If the incident had been investigated immediately, this matter would have been put to rest. But the forum and its chairman Upendra Yadav, including 130 people, would have already been determined to be guilty or innocent. The innocent would not have to bear the burden of the incident for nearly two decades. But due to the failure of the responsible body to fulfill its responsibility, Rupsagar Upadhyay, Rupaiya Khatun, Vikram Patel and the injured Tribhuvan Sah had to approach the Supreme Court on behalf of the deceased's family.

After the Supreme Court's mandate, there is a basis for the investigation to proceed and the need for an immediate investigation of cases like the "Gaur murder" has become even stronger. However, in this period of 18 years, a new generation has arrived in the society. To whom that event may seem like a mystery. Although the event is not political, the relationship between the political forces connected with the event has changed.
So sometimes it is hard to believe that the extra buzz an event gets is free from political motives. As it is, even though the 'Gaur massacre' has come to the center of the debate due to the decree of the Supreme Court, Upendra Yadav and the party led by him get a basis to interpret that political interests are connected. Even though it is late, there is no doubt that this incident should be investigated impartially. However, the social, political and legal damage caused by delaying such events should not be allowed to happen again.
