Prachanda and Baburam don't know what to make of the Madhesi Movement.
On the one hand they come out denying the Maoists were behind the that first murder in Lahan. Then they turn around and apologize.
On the one hand they apologize. On the other hand they will not submit the guilty party to the legal process. Murderers do not get to apologize. They get tried.
On the one hand they say they are part of the peace proces and all their armed cadres are now in cantonments. On the other hand many of their armed cadres are roaming, like that cadre who did the killing in Lahan. A gun was used.
On the one hand they say what is happening in the Terai is the work of the royalists and Hindu supremacists. On the other hand they say the basic demands of the Madhesi Movement are just.
On the one hand they say the basic demands of the Madhesi Movement are just. On the other hand they talk about the Maoist Army possibly getting together with the Nepal Army to snuff out the "rebellion" in the Terai.
On the one hand they say the Madhesi grievances are genuine. On the other hand they say this is not a movement but a "rebellion," as if the Madhesis were subjects of the Nepali state, the Pahadi state, as if the Madhesh were a colony.
On the one hand they talk of multi-party democracy and rule of law. On the other hand they send Gajurel to Delhi to tell his comrades there that the Maoist continue to be wedded to the classic version, the dream of a one party dictatorship is still there.
On the one hand they talk of Janajati rights, on the other hand they make no room for genuine Janajati leadership. They herd around their Janajati MPs like so much cattle.
On the one hand they want perhaps a military solution to the Madhesi Movement because it has supposedly gone so out of hand. On the other hand they claim the Madhesi Janadhikar Forum has no mass base.
On the one hand they say the Madhesi grievances are genuine. On the other hand they do not know what those grievances are.
On the one hand they say the Madhesi demands have to be met. On the other hand they do not know what those demands are.
On the one hand they talk about elections. On the other hand Gajurel talks about capturing booths.
I see a mental split on the part of Prachanda.
On The WebSchizophrenia a psychiatric diagnosis that describes a mental disorder characterized by impairments in the perception or expression of reality and by significant social or occupational dysfunction. A person experiencing schizophrenia is typically characterized as demonstrating disorganized thinking, and as experiencing delusions or hallucinations, in particular auditory hallucinations ..... Although the disorder is primarily thought to affect cognition, it can also contribute to chronic problems with behavior and emotion. ...... No laboratory test for schizophrenia exists. Studies suggest that genetics, early environment, neurobiology and psychological and social processes are important contributory factors. Current psychiatric research into the development of the disorder often focuses on the role of neurobiology, although a reliable and identifiable organic cause has not been found. In the absence of a confirmed specific pathology underlying the diagnosis, some question the legitimacy of schizophrenia's status as a disease. Furthermore, some propose that the perceptions and feelings involved are meaningful and do not necessarily involve impairment. ..... The term schizophrenia translates roughly as "splitting of the mind" ..... Despite its etymology, schizophrenia is not synonymous with dissociative identity disorder, also known as multiple personality disorder or "split personality"; in popular culture the two are often confused. People with schizophrenia are generally not more violent or dangerous than other members of the population. ...... The lifetime prevalence of substance abuse is typically around 40%. Comorbidity is also high with clinical depression, anxiety disorders, and social problems, and a generally decreased life expectancy is also present. Patients diagnosed with schizophrenia typically live 10-12 years less than their healthy counterparts, owing to increased physical health problems and a high suicide rate. Unemployment and poverty are common.
