Protest continues against mass-migration and arrest of Dr. Raut from interview room:

Nepal police suspected in provoking the ethnic riot between Pahadis and Madheshis

 

 

2015 May 29 Friday, Rajbiraj, NEPAL / The protests continued even on Friday in several districts of Madhesh, the southern part of Nepal, against the arrest of the Madheshi activist Dr. C. K. Raut, on Tuesday, from a TV station in Itahari, forbidding him from giving an interview. Nepal Police DSP Binod Sharma had told that he would be indicted on a charge of treason, again, just after a month of getting a clean-chit from the Special Court on the charge of treason filed in October last year. 

 

Recently Dr. Raut opined that the hasty mass resettlement of Pahadis, the northern ruling class people, into Madhesh may be detrimental to the ecological, social and cultural balance of the region, as it is already marred by excessive population density, deforestation, desertification and ethnic clashes between the migrants Pahadis and the natives Madheshis. The opinion has stirred Nepal since it appeared on Dr. Raut's Facebook page and brought many backlashes, including hundreds of death threats. Dr Raut had also warned of the possibility of an epidemic such as cholera, from such unmanaged mass migrations and settlement, as happened in Haiti. It should be noted that upon an appeal from Dr Raut, Madheshis throughout various southern districts observed a one-day-fast on 12th May, and donated their share of food for the Nepal's great earthquake victims.

 

Upon arrest on Tuesday, Dr. Raut and his five aides, were kept in custody in a very torturous condition at the Itahari Police Station, in front of which more than two thousands Pahadi rioters gathered quicklym demanding police to submit Dr. Raut to them to be burnt alive. The rioters chanted slogans for hours and they also burnt an effigy of Dr. Raut in front of the police station.  

 

Some of the local TV channels broadcasted the riot live, which shows Pahadi rioters even attacking Madheshis. Several local people, who watched the broadcast, have claimed that the Nepal Police in plain clothes have been involved in chanting the slogans demanding capital punishment for Dr Raut, giving rise to the speculation that the Pahadi rioters were gathered and protected by the police themselves.

 

Against the arrest of Dr. Raut and his supporters, as well as the government's plan for deforestation and mass resettlement of Pahadis into already fragile Madhesh, the protest has continued even on Friday. Madheshis have already protested in Jhapa, Morang, Sunsari, Saptari, Dhanusha, Mahottari, Bara and Navalparasi districts.

 

Dr. Raut, the coordinator for the Alliance for Independent Madhesh (AIM), recently faced a treason charge for advocating a separate Madhesh nation, but the Special Court gave him a clean cheat on April 23rd. Humanrights advocates and lawyers have termed the most recent arrest of Dr Raut as contempt of the court and gross violation of freedom of speech.
