Busy comrades charter helicopter
कामरेडहरूको हेलीकप्टर सवार 
-भोजराज भाट/कान्तिपुर
स्थानः काठमाडौं, सिनामङ्गल मितिः जेठ ५, विहान ११४५ बजे कर्णाली एयरवेजको कार्यालय परिसरमा एकजना परिचित मान्छे भेटिए । खैरो रङ्गको टीशर्ट लगाएका ती व्यक्ति फोनमा अलि ब्यस्त देखिन्थे । हामीलाई देखेपछि उनले भने, “लौ अब हिड्नुपर्छ । नभए कार्यक्रममा पुगिदैन ।”
CPN (Maoist) division vice commander Sanjeev talking to his comrade on mobile phone at Kathmandu airport. He along with his comrades were flying to Bhojpur by a chartered helicopter to participate in a mass meeting last week.
त्यसपछि खोजी गरियो, एयरवेजका स्टाफको । अनि एयरवेजकै टाटा गाडीमा आन्तरिक विमानस्थलतिर लागियो ।कुनै वेला राज्यले ‘मोस्ट वान्टेड ‘ भनेर घोषित गरेका व्यक्तिहरू जीवनकै पहिलो पटक हेलिकप्टर सवार गर्दै थिए यहाँ । जनयुद्धकै प्रारम्भिक तयारीका लागि भनेर भारतको पीपुल्स वार गु्रपबाट तालिम लिएका चन्द्रप्रकाश खनाल -वलदेव, जो अहिले माओवादीका डिपुटीकमान्डर छन्, हेलिकप्टरमा उक्लिए । माओवादीका तेश्रो डिभिजन कमाण्डर विविध, सह-कमाण्डर सञ्जिवदेखि विशेष केन्द्रीय कमाण्ड अर्न्तर्गतको रेडियो जनगणतन्त्र नेपालका इन्चार्ज इश्वरचन्द्र ज्ञवाली यसअघि नै हेलिकप्टरभित्र बसिसकेका रहेछन् । अनि म पनि उक्लेर कमान्डर विविधसँगै बसेँ ।

विविधसँग मेरो पूर्ववत चिनजानी थिएन । सुनेको थिएँ, लडाकू मान्छे हुन्, सुदूरपश्चिमतिर निकै लामो समय बसेपछि उनको कार्यकुशलता हेरेर पार्टी महत्वपूर्ण जिम्मेवारी दिएको हो । उनी पिली आक्रमणका कमान्डर थिए, त्यसपछि उनलाई तेश्रो डिभिजन कमान्डर बनाइयो । माओवादीको तेश्रो डिभिजन लडाकू सैन्यदस्ताले राजधानी वरपरका क्षेत्रहरूमा कारवाही गराउँछ । यो माओवादीहरुको विशेष केन्द्रीय कमान्डको मातहातमा छ । “तपाईले यसअघि कहिले हेलिकप्टर चढ्नुभाथ्यो ?” मैले सोधें । विविधले मुस्कुराउँदै जवाफ दिए, “अहँ कहाँ पाएर चढ्नु – जहिले पनि लडाईंमै व्यस्त भइयो । अब हाम्रो सत्ता आएपछि दिनदिनै चढिन्छहोला” रुकुम घर भएका विविध मेरो पुख्यौली थलो अछाम गएका रहेछन् । भन्दै थिए, “तपाईंसँग भेट नभए पनि तपाईको अछामको घर गाको छु, निकै सौर्न्दर्य छ त्यो रामारोशन हगि ?”

होचा कदका विविधलाई झट्ट हर्दा यिनी कमान्डरजस्तो लाग्दैन । तर उनको बोलीमा झल्किन्छ । सवा घन्टाको हेलिकप्टर यात्रामा पहाडी दृश्य हेर्दै म विविधसँग कुरा गर्न थालेँ । काभ्रेको धुलिखेल काटेर डाडापारिको पाखो के काट्दै थियौं, पत्रकार इश्वरचन्द ज्ञवाली प्रफुलित मुद्रामा भने, “हर्नुस्, ऊ…त्यही हो वाफल भन्ज्याङ, त्यो ठोकर्पा..” एक महिनाअघिसम्म भूमिगत हुँदा सिन्धुपाल्चोक, काभ्रे, रामेछाप आदिका डाडापाखा उक्लिएको संसमरण सुनाए, हेलिकप्टरभित्रै । विविधले थपे, “चौतारा हान्दा हामी ऊ…त्यही बाटोबाट फर्किएका थियौं । यस क्षेत्रमा थुप्रै मोर्चावद्ध लडाईं गरियो । नौलो अनुभूति लिइयो ।”
CPN (M) dpty commander Baldev and division vice commander Sanjeev
यस्तै कुराकानी चल्दै थियो, भोटेकोशी पार गरेर हेलिकप्टर दोलखातिर उक्लिदैगर्दा आकाशमा डरलाग्दो बादल मडारिन थाल्यो । अनि हेलिकप्टरको आवाज निकै आउन थाल्यो । त्यसपछि विविध र मैले एयरफोन लगायौं र त्यसबाट कुराकानी गर्न थाल्यौं । उनी फौजी कुराहरूलाई सरल रुपमा वर्णन गर्थे । उनले पण्डौनमा रेञ्जरफोर्ससँग घमासन लडाईं गरेको संस्मरण सुनाए । केही समाचारमुलक तथा केही निजी गफगाफमै वित्यो सवा घन्टा । अनि हेलिकप्टर भोजपुर सदरमुकाममा घुम्न थालेपछि थाह पाइयो, बल्ल गन्तब्य स्थान आइएछ क्यार । पत्रकारको तर्फबाट महिमा साप्ताहिकका संवाददाता रामचन्द्र अधिकारी र मलाई बोलाइएको थियो । माओवादीका विशेष केन्द्रीय कमान्ड इन्चार्ज वर्षान पुन-अनन्तको निमन्त्रणामा म त्यसतर्फ जाँदै थिएँ ।

कर्णाली एयरवेजको आठ सिटे हेलिकप्टर भोजपुर बजार पुग्दा एकछिन त रनभुल्ल भइयो । अनौठो कुरा, त्यहाँ टुडिखेलबाहेक अरु ठाउँमा हेलिकप्टर ल्याण्ड गर्ने स्थिति रहेनछ । भोजपुरको माथिल्लो डाँडामा सैनिक क्याम्प रहेछ । टुडिखेलको खुला क्षेत्रलाई प्रहरीले सुरक्षाको कारण देखाइ कब्जा गरेर वरिपरि काडेतारले लगाएको रहेछ । यी दुबै सम्भावित ठाउँमा सुरक्षाफौज तैनाथ भएपछि हामी आएको हेलिकप्टर ल्याण्ड गर्न समस्या पर्र्यो । नियमअनुसार, कुनै पनि सदरमुकाममा हेलिकप्टर ल्यान्ड गर्नुभन्दा अगाडि त्यहाँको प्रशासनले अनुमति दिनुपर्छ । तर, हामी चढेको हेलिकप्टरले त्यसो अनुमति लिएको रहेनछ ।

उसो भए कहाँ ल्याण्ड गर्ने त – तीन राउन्ड भोजपुर सदरमुकाम घुम्न थाल्यो । एक हुल माओवादी कार्यकर्ताहरूले जिप्रकामा छिरेर आफ्ना नेताहरू हेलिकप्टरमा आएको बताएपछि बल्ल टुडिखेलमा बस्ने निधो भयो । हेलिकप्टरबाट माओवादीका डिपुटीकमाण्डर वलदेव निस्केको देखेपछि नजिकको बंकरमा सेन्ट्री गरिरहेका सुरक्षाकर्मीहरू ट्वाल्ल परेर हेरिरहे । अनि आफ्ना नेतालाई फुलमालाले स्वागत गर्न केही कार्यकर्ताहरू हेलिकप्टरतिर गए र सँगसँगै बजारतिर फर्किए ।
Comrades welcomed in Bhojpur
पूर्वनिर्धारित कार्यक्रमका प्रमुख वक्ता नआउँदा त्यसको वैकल्पिक व्यवस्थापन गर्न माओवादीलाई झन्डै दुई तिन लाख खर्च गर्नुपर्र्यो । कर्णाली एयरवेजलाई घन्टाको १२ सय अमेरिकी डलर भाडामा रिजर्ब गर्नुपर्दा । उसो त दोश्रो वार्ताकालमा डा. बाबुराम भट्टराईले केही जिल्ला सदरमुकाममा भाग लिदा हेलिकप्टर सवार गरेका थिए । तर, यसपटक बलदेव, विविधहरू त्यस्तो अवसर पाउने पहिलो भए ।

This looks like Jun Jogi aaye pani kani chereka . Maoist has to setup an example to general public not spending their money for their luxury like this. I am glad that they have started fighting against the monarchy but now there is no monarchy in power. You guys have to respect people’s openion and let people decide what they want not by force. I believe as King, Maoist are also responsible for killing those innosences in nepal who never deserved to die. I object this should never happen in any part of world. Wake up Prachanda and Baburam and all leaders, lets create new nepal with peace progress and prosperity.
Goiod luck to all.

Hi Comrades
Lal Salam
Nepalese people have sacrificed a lot in the past, to see better Nepal. This dream should turn to reality this time. So be honest to the people and the nation everytime you plan and work.
Congratulation!

Look at all the innocent fools who are following their so called leaders blindly. Had they had been allowed proper education by their fellow Comrades, they would be well off minding their own business. I really feel sad for all the people there becuase what the people are doing there is not useful. A good future does not come automatically byitself, nor can it be brought by giving guns to peaseants, but by providing basic education to all the public.
If events like this continue here, Nepal sure will have an even darker future.

Why do we believe the politicians untrue dreams like turning Nepal into some other country. People become politicians in Nepal to get rich faster than anyone else, they care about their stomach only. Look at the all the Leaders in Nepal, they have made such a mess of our countries status. No education, increase in prices of everything, no national economy. First of all we need leaders of TODAY, not those leader who are studying at the age of 30 and protesting daily for their political organisation. We need leaders who are educated properly, who know what serving others’ is, who know the diference between speaking and doing it. If tomorrow’s leaders are also like today’s then Nepal will remain behind for a long time.

I greatly admire the struggle of the Nepalese people for nationalism, freedom and democracy. The path being taken by the communist movement under the leadeship of the CPN-Maoist is a fullfilment of the task undertaken by great leaders of the world like Lenin in 1917 and Mao Zedong in 1949. They have liberated two-thirds of the world™s population at that time.
A historic mission by the proletariat and the people is being waged at Nepal. I hope this will inspire the people of the world not just to look for the mythical Shangrila and revered the snowcap of Mt. Everest. But to look closely at the peoples™ struggle towards the making of a new, liberated, and modern Nepal.
Long live,

Dear Comrade,
I think, when your party started a war in Nepal and put the Nepal back more then 100 years, your fought for the Nepali people. Now when your party in Government I believe you forgot your policy and wast the money in nonsense things like this. I think you still have other option for minimise the cost but why you think about it even your suprim commander Mr. Prachanda never ever think about it. And other rubbish thing is that your party and all of comrade talk big things only and never did (only talking talking………).
At last enjoy you and your all party partners by our swat earn money. Good luck

It reflect how Mao will govern the country . He has dream to use Helicopter more, when they will lead government . This is the scene of VIVID …maoist cadre .He seems so much happy taking photos and expressing others that he was there in war time and killing of others lives ……no feelings at all . He must take good advanced and high technology camera to capture that scene where he killed many peoples …….may be he forgot or he did not know ,that he will follow the air way in the sky .Now Prachanda, leader of the group will take Boeing 757 to go to other districts . We Nepali are so much lucky to introduce others as we are from the small beautiful country .But it is our bad fortune to have such leaders and we are indulging into poverty , unemployment and so on and on . Vivid …time is all yours ..keep enjoying !
