Make success the Nepal Shut-down on 16^th and 17^th of November

Mangsir 1&2 Nepal Banda called by Nine left parties and supported by CPN (Maoist) to breakdown the decision of price petroleum hike.

Kathmandu/As in international market the price of petroleum price is increased the price in Nepal also increased. Just see this point it looks justify. But the fact is that the government of Nepal increased the price by giving the cause that the leakage of the petrolium from the open board to India. And another strange fact is that when the price in International market fall down the "Nepal oil corporation" as the government is owner never decreased the price.

Now the price in International market increase in as average of 50 percent but the government of Nepal increased by 100% like the most neediest kerosene and diesel by almost 70 percent but the petrol which is used by only limited rich people increased by 17 percent while in international market it is increased by 68%. It clearly shows that the government is serving the only a fistful rich people from the cost of the 90 percent of the masses. Now the prices in market is increasing in every sector except vs of agriculture. The 90% of the people are suffering from the lack of power to fulfil their daily need in normal life. By raising of this issue while struggling the fascist Girija government 9 leftist parties have organising different protest programme. But the government is not only neglected but suppressing the peaceful protests. The police attacked in different protest where hundreds of people have been injured. In one side the government staged a artless and naked drama to create the conducive environment for the dialogue with the struggling party CPN (Maoist) last week.

The dialogue with the government to fixed the reasonable price of the petroleum is failed which taken place between the leaders of the nine left parties and the government. The government tried to bargaining with the nine left instead of solving the problem. The ministers proposed at first to decrease one Rupees, then 2 Rupees and the last Rs.22/Ltr.in kerosene from 26 what they decided earlier. Still the nine left parties are asking to form a commission to investigate a corruption and interference in the Oil Corporation and until then make Rs.15. but the government tried to bargain like a Indian Marwaries which forced the nine left parties to continue the 2Days NEPAL SHUT-DOWN (General strike) programme to pressurise the government to decrease the illegal and corruption oriented price hiking.

The Nepal shut-down programme on November 16 and 17 called by the nine left parties is supported by the main opposition party in parliament CPN(UML) and the country's responsible and  alternative force and the party CPN (Maoist) also supporting the general strike. It is the first time the UML asked their cadres to support actively for the struggle. Even the government is criticising from inside the NC ruling party. The organisers are calling torch rally all over the country at the afternoon of the 15^th of November to make success the Nepal Shut-down of both days. If the government tried to intervene the protest they will resist powerfully. Now the necessity is increasing to support the struggle of Nepalese people from Nepal and abroad. The shut-down programme following after the different kinds of protests in the country since a month.
