With
the beginning of the second phase of election-boycott
campaign, National Youth People's Volunteer, an youth organization of
CPN-Maoist, has launched the nationwide anti-
election campaign. It was started from Jhapa, the easternmost
district of Nepal which lies in Tarai region. After the Jhapa rally, Red-t
Shirts and the youth’s volunteers have become an issue of political concern
and curiosity. It has produced a new type
of stirring among the politicians as
well as in the public sector. For some one, it has become a source
of spirit and inspiration and for
some others, it has become an issue of restlessness. The nationwide
march-past of youth volunteers indicates the impending
political situation of Nepal. We all know youths from the
former People´s Liberation Army (PLA), former Young Communist League (YCL) and
the “disqualified militants” are united in the National Youth People's
Volunteer (NYPV).
At that
time, when the People’s Volunteer Bureau was established, different
types of questions and comments had been done by the national-international
sectors. After the breakthrough with the Prachand-Baburam clique, the
revolutionaries reorganized and named it as the National Youth
People's Volunteer (NYPV). Since then, this youth organization has become the
hot issue on the medias as well as in the political sectors. Many
national-international organizations, NGOs and agencies like
“International Crisis Group” and the studies and analysis agency of
India, “Institute For Defense Studies and Analyses” (IDSA) have
shown keen interest in this youth organization.
In
this short article there is no possibility of mentioning the comments of above
mentioned agencies. Some of the websites particularly the supporters of
revolutionary Marxism has focused the formation of NYPV as the pleasant moment
for the followers of MLM, and anti-people websites and
columnist has reacted it as the formation of a new terrorist
wing. Restructuring the party as the CPN-Maoist was
itself a historical event and it was not unnatural that the new
formation of youths–NYPV to be the issue of new concern. The Seventh National
Congress of CPN-Maoist made clear its party line as “People's Revolt on the
Foundation of People's War”. Afterward, Central Committee
meeting held in Pokhara valley passed the resolution to boycott the upcoming 2nd CA
election actively and vigorously.
Then providing the additional responsibility
to the NYPV, party putout the total plan and program for the election
boycott campaign.
It
shaped a great challenge for the followers of parliamentary system. Now the
reactionaries of old and new types are making noise that “Baidhya faction has
no strength to foil the election” and in the mean time they have announced that
“there is the possibility of army deploy in the election”. In fact, they
want to cover up their frightened mentality. The nationwide march-past rally of
the National Youth People's Volunteer has produced a tremor within the
reactionary camp.
Here I would like to present the short history of National Youth
People's Volunteer. Prachand-Baburam clique spoiled the revolutionary legacy of
the Young Communist League, which had played a tremendous role in
the past. They used the youths as the tools for the
corruption and smuggling. The revolutionary legacy of YCL was turned in to the
activities of hooligan gang. Then the revolutionary faction within
UCPN (Maoist) forced party leaders to reorganize the youth force. After
that it was named as the People´s Volunteer Bureau. At that time it was headed by
comrade Biplav, member of the Standing Committee. Though it was
formed to launch “people’s revolt”, the People’s Volunteer Bureau remained
inactive allegedly due to unwillingness of Prachand and his followers. That's
why, it could not succeed to move forward, as it was
hoped. After the restructuring of the CPN-Maoist, it took new
direction as the National Youth People's Volunteer. Now Comrade Biplav, secretary
of the CPN-Maoist is leading this youth organization as the bureau in
charge, and comrade Udaya Bahadur Chalaune “Deepak” then PLA Vice-Division
Commander of 3rd Division is the chairman of this youth
organization.
Now it is no more an organization of corrupted hooligans, it is
the organization of the revolutionary youths, who are dedicated to the
revolutionary transformation of the Nepalese society. It has got its identity
as the people's volunteers in real sense. As it has mentioned in its document:
“National Youth People's Volunteer, affiliated with the CPN-Maoist, is the
organization of those revolutionary youths, who are struggling on
the side of oppressed people and the national sovereignty.”
NYPV played and plying the vital role to seize the land occupied by
the landlords from the poor peasants. NYPV has launched Mechi-Mahakali awaking
campaign for the safeguard of the national sovereignty and
integrity. It has condemned all unequal and unfair
treaties between India and Nepal and has demanded to be annulled. NYPV
always denounces Indian hegemony and stands against the American
imperialism and Indian expansionism. So that, this youth
organization is objectionable for the foreign reactionary forces. Not only
this, Prachand the betrayer of Nepalese revolution and his followers also
abominate this organisation, because of its anti-corruption, and anti-revisionist
ideological stand. In many places the followers of Prachand and government
supported vigilantes jointly have done physical attack upon the members of
NYPV.
We all
know that the CA election is not being held to write people’s constitution,
rather it is based on the design of taking the country towards
Sikkimisation. Decision of CA election is not based on the interest
and opinion of the Nepalese people. This is a designed agenda directed by
the American imperialism and Indian expansionism against the revolutionary
transformation of the Nepalese society. And it is the matter of irony that
the four party syndicate is working as their tools. That's why, the
Communist Party of Nepal-Maoist has decided to boycott this so-called second CA
election actively and vigorously. CPN-Maoist has called the masses of the
people to make the boycott movement effective and a grand success. In this
course, youths of the people's volunteers have stood in the forefront. As
the scale of election boycott campaign further increases, as the
Party intensifies the anti-election campaign, the four
party alliance government will come out in its full strength to
suppress the election boycott campaign. Then there will
result a clear cut polarization between the
political forces. No doubt, there will be a strong confrontation
between the patriotic-progressive forces and the reactionary forces. At that
very moment, the role of NYPV will be extremely momentous.
We have
the right to boycott election as others have the right to take part in it.
Currently the reactionary government is scheming the psychological
terror that they are going to deploy the army in the election. We all know
former king Gyanendra also had declared general election at that
time. And we know it too that the revolutionaries have gained the
experience of how to foil this type of elections. We have the
leading team of matured and revolutionary leaders and we
have the organization of youths like NVPV, where most of the former
PLA commanders and cadres are united. They are prepared to complete their
course of sacrifice in any time and action.
The main
thing is the ideological question, which leads the oppressed people in the
correct direction. We have a glorious history in this regard. When we waged the
People's War, we had just a small team of people's volunteers, but later on, we
had seven division of PLA. Similarly, in the beginning we had
only one homemade gun and later on, we gained the experience of modern
rocket launcher. As Comrade Mao has mentioned that the decisive factor is the
party line. Yes, the decisive factor is the revolutionary line,
revolutionary spirit and the will power, not the number.
To
fight for the safeguard of the national sovereignty and to achieve the goal of
New Democratic Revolution is our motto. We know the government forces
along with all types of revisionists and opportunists, including UCPN
(Maoist), will come out against our mission and we are fully ensured
that we can overcome all these obstacles. As Comrade Mao has mentioned in his
article “The Orientation of the Youth Movement”, “Young people, full of vigor and vitality, are in the bloom of life,
like the sun at eight or nine in the morning.” Yes, The National Youth People's
Volunteer means the organization of the revolutionary youths, who are
ready to face each and every challenge loaded by the reactionary forces, inside
the country and abroad. History has taught us how to
fight against reactionaries and the opportunists.
CPN-Maoist
has put out the issue of “High Level Consensus.” This must be
taken with seriously. Not to take this issue seriously means to call
for a new confrontation. In fact, election without national consensus means
declaration of war on the people. Second phase of election boycott
campaign is going to be concluded and no doubt, the third and final
stage will take a new step–a new leap. Then it will not be the
matter of surprise that the colour of Red t- Shirts will be changed
into the “Green Shirts”. The youths of the
National Youth People's Volunteer, are waiting
for their commander's direction. It must be kept in mind that it is not the
period of 1996, now it is 2013.
