Is world history repeating in Nepal, too? asks Dr Bhattarai



KATHMANDU: Naya Shakti Party Coordinator Dr Baburam Bhattarai has expressed reservations whether the history would repeat again by posting photos of Home Minister Ram Bahadur Thapa Badal and General Secretary of the Nepal Communist Party Netra Bikram Chand ‘Biplav’  on his Facebook.

Reacting to the cabinet decision yesterday, Bhattarai wrote, “NCP has banned all the activities of Biplav-led NCP, labeling it as a ‘criminal group’ and has decided to use security force against it. The NCP’s preparation to quell the other communist party of similar nature reminds me of the world history.”

Dr Bhattarai further wrote, “The history repeats – the first will meet with tragedy, the second will end up in farce, Marx had said quoting Hegel.”

Bhattarai has also compared the 100-year-old German movement with that of Nepal. “One hundred years ago in Germany, the then government led by Social Democratic Party of Germany had suppressed the revolutionary  Communist Party of Germany and assassinated its leaders Rosa Luxemburg and Karl Liebknecht. Similarly, the government led by ‘reformist’  CPM in West Bengal, India had suppressed  the revolutionary party CPI-ML and killed its leaders including Charu Majumdar in 1967-072.

Citing the world history of downfall of communist parties after they were divided, Bhattarai asked, “Will the same world history repeat in Nepal?”

The following is the status written by Dr Bhattarai:
