Kathmandu : Nepalese citizens residing in the United States have expressed their deep anxiety over the recent sad happenings in Nepal and have asked the government to arrest the deteriorating situation in the country.

A statement issue by the Nepalese living in New York received through email reads as follows:

“The Foundation of the Nepalese in America (FNA) expresses its concern regarding the loss of Nepali lives, destruction of property, turmoil, instability and ongoing breakdown of law and order in the nation. We strongly demand that this crisis existing in the soil of Nepal since the last few years, which has weakened the nation, be stopped immediately. We condemn all the leaders, parties and other external and internal forces that have their vested interest in continuing this situation in the country. We demand that these tragic and destabilizing situations be immediately stopped.

The activities carried-out by the extreme leftist group (Maoists) for the last four years and directed against the institution which is a symbol of national unity and the dignity of all the Nepalese, are anti national acts and their coercion, threats and violence has caused pain and suffering of the Nepali people. The high handed manner and the irresponsible acts committed by the Nepali police has only worsened the situation. The government of Nepal, the police and the Maoists have all committed various human rights violations and terrorized the innocent Nepali people. All this must be immediately stopped.
We request the government to maintain law and order, provide security to all the people and build the confidence of the Nepali people. The process of dialogue with the Maoists must be concluded by bringing the insurgents into the mainstream of democratic Nepali political institutional process. The many acts of corruption committed by the many leaders and political parties has diminished the confidence and aspirations and hopes of the people. We express our outrage in the various ill intentions committed by the various corrupt Governments formed after the restoration of the multiparty democracy, which has created havoc thereby threatening the life of all innocent people. Expressing its deep condolence and sympathy to the families who have lost their near and dear ones, due to the terrorism and the various acts committed by the Government, the ‘FNA’ condemns all acts of terrorism
that have been committed by the various elements.

The ‘FNA’ unequivocally deplores the dishonesty of all leaders of the major and minor political parties like NC, UML, ML, RPP, NSP, RJP, UPF and others who are destined to fulfil vested interests at the costs of peace, prosperity and the lives of the innocent peoples of our motherland. The ‘FNA’ also deplores the ill-fated motives of conspiracy committed by those who are trying to fulfil vested interests, with their hidden agenda of breaking the cordial relationship between Nepal and India that have been conditioned by the special historical ties, which are illustrated by our territorial, socio-cultural, and religious affinity between the two people. It is therefore, the ‘FNA’ expresses its solidarity with all the Bhutanese refugees living in Nepal and requests His Majesty King of Bhutan to call all the Bhutanese
citizens of Nepali origin. All refugees to be allowed to return to their homeland peacefully with dignity and security”.
