Formula: Mao's Theory plus Swiss Model equals Prachanda Path
Neither it was a "media-misquote" nor the Maoists' party head was found in a drunken state before heading for his maiden trip abroad.
The media in Nepal is regularly blamed for misquoting the leaders. Media's loyalty is always in question.
For example, the recent "Minor King Saga" wherein the Prime Minister later blamed the media men for misquoting his remarks in English that he had made in front of a Pakistani Media Delegation, is one among so many frequently happening entertaining incidents.
Not only the octogenarian Prime Minister but the Maoists Chief Prachanda himself has been misquoted (?) in the past. Whether it were a "media-misquote" or something else, only time will tell.
Prachanda after meeting the visiting Norwegian Minister Eric Sollheim is on record to have said that Norway was ready to support the Maoists in their endeavor towards establishing a democratic republic in Nepal.
However, Sollheim later refuted such claims when requested by a lady journalist to confirm his statement, added: "I would never say so" and left the decision for the sovereign citizens of this county.
The partisan Media here too is not to be taken for granted as foreign emissaries are regularly misquoted by our reporters, either lack of adequate command in the English language or deliberate it is that suits to their political affiliation. Since we have Journalists' Associations of the likes of Revolutionaries, Lokatantrik, Prajatantrik, Nationalists and many more, Media's loyalty is always questionable. Is it for the people or for their masters this loyalty?
And there are also some episodes wherein our leader(s) themselves have been found in a drunken state while making public appearances.
A Nepali prominent leader, who appears more often in media due to his unchallengeable analytical skills, is frequently found in a drunken state. However, he has never been reported to have misbehaved or making irrational comments dragging criticisms alike Prachanda or Girija Prasad Koirala who are found in normal conditions in general.
For our ailing Prime Minster though it seems normal to make irrational talking citing his age-factor but for Prachanda, the once ferocious, his irrational comments may have come as a Himalayan worry for the party itself.
Look what Prachanda- the nouveau democrat, talking to the media in the VVIP lounge of the Tribhuwan International Airport in Kathmandu said before taking to his maiden trip abroad.
"We have been analyzing Switzerland's Federal Model from the days of our rebellion. Switzerland is a capitalist country and its federal structure could be implemented in Nepal. This is our objective of flying to Switzerland this time". Hope Prachanda will not retort to his statement a la Girija Prasad Koirala upon his return to his home country.
With over more than two-decades of life remaining underground, studying and preaching age-old defunct communist ideology and finally waging an armed revolt with an objective of communist dominance in one of the world's poorest country, hope Prachanda this time was really misquoted by the media that reports, "Prachanda in search of capitalist federal model flies to Europe".
Seems, as much as is visible, Prachanda too appears to have concluded that Mao's days and his ideologies have no place in Nepal!
Or will he some how or the other link Mao's theory with the imported Swiss copy? If he does so, the new political cocktail would some what be closer to what he claims to be Prachanda Path.
