Nepali political <\/span>}’<\/span>} Marathon runner{<\/span>‘ <\/span>} and five-time Nepali politician Sher Bahadur Deuba has returned home on August 28 after a five-month stay and treatment. When Deuba landed at the Tribhuvan International Airport, Deuba was not only seen as a 78-year-old ailing leader<\/span>, <\/span>} but also as a <\/span>‘<\/span> new political commentary<\/span>‘ <\/span>} and came back with a strong confidence. <\/span>‘<\/span>Gen-G<\/span>‘ (Gen-Z) <\/span> Heat of the movement<\/span>, <\/span> Amid the internal crisis within his own party and the siege of the current government, Deuba this time <\/span>}’<\/span>They have used the old but infallible weapon of national unity{<\/span>}, <\/span>} and <\/span>‘<\/span>}reconciliation{<\/span>‘ <\/span>.

He has publicly stated\u2014<\/span><\/span>“<\/b> My life is like an open book<\/b>, <\/b> I don’t want to do any legal research<\/b>. <\/b> I’m not afraid of threats or retaliation.

He established himself as <\/span>‘<\/span>} for democracy and has not bowed down to the king<\/span>‘ <\/span> and defied any possible legal move of the present government as <\/span>‘<\/span>{{TAG_OPEN_span_229} political vendetta{{{TAG_CLOSE_span_ 229}}‘ <\/span>}. This statement has challenged the government on the one hand and on the other hand has sent a strong message to its cadres who are on the defensive that <\/span>‘<\/span>} ‘<\/span>‘ <\/span>}}. His claim of <\/span>‘<\/span>} Open Book<\/span>‘ <\/span> has created a big ripple in the current political circle. <\/span><\/p>\n {{TAG_OPEN_b_309} Five months of stay and BP’s <\/b>‘<\/b> Reconciliation{<\/b>‘ <\/b>}{TAG_CLOSE_b_305}}<\/p>\n }<\/p>\n On March 4, Deuba suddenly went to Singapore amid the political turmoil and the confrontation with the new leadership that came through the party’s <\/span>‘<\/span>‘Special General Convention<\/span>‘ <\/span>}. In a message issued immediately after returning home after a stay of about five months, he said, The reconciliation policy adopted by BP Koirala in 2033 BS is remembered. Claiming that he is not hungry for position and power, Deuba has said that he has returned to serve as a lifelong citizen of the country {{TAG_CLOSE_span_214 TAG_CLOSE_span_212}}{{{TAG_OPEN_span_211 TAG_CLOSE_span_211}}{{TAG_OPEN_span_212 TAG_CLOSE_span_213 TAG_OPEN_span_213 TAG_OPEN_span_210}. Does he insist that the wounds of past divisions and animosities need to heal him, is he not proposing <\/span>}’<\/span> to his opponents inside and outside the party, {<\/span>}{}’ <\/span>}<\/span>}? <\/span>The question is . Deuba’s <\/span>‘<\/span>‘Soft<\/span>‘ <\/span>} has surprised many. <\/span><\/p>\n ‘<\/b>Gen-G<\/b>‘ (Gen-Z) <\/b>New Commentary on Movement and Generation<\/b><\/p>\n This return of Deuba is also interesting because he was injured in a deadly attack during the <\/span>‘<\/span>}‘Gen-G<\/span>‘ <\/span>}}. However, after returning TAG_OPEN_span_193 TAG_CLOSE_span_194 TAG_OPEN_span_194 TAG_CLOSE_span_195 home, he did not express any anger towards the younger generation. TAG_OPEN_span_191TAG_CLOSE_span_192TAG_OPEN_span_192TAG_CLOSE_span_193Rather, he said that the Congress has accepted the demands of change raised by the younger generation by trying to create the image of a mature politician. He argues that it is his responsibility to be a bridge between the struggle of the old generation and the enthusiasm of the new generation. But TAG_OPEN_span_189 TAG_CLOSE_span_190 TAG_OPEN_span_190 TAG_CLOSE_span_191 is this softness really youth-friendly or is it the youth-friendly <\/span>‘<\/span>} New Congress<\/span>‘ <\/span> led by young leaders like Gagan Thapa and Bishwa Prakash Sharma to find their relevance and anger of the youth. Just an attempt to slow down <\/span>? <\/span>This is a matter of serious analysis. <\/span><\/p>\n Singapore Migration: A Political Strategy or Detachment<\/b>? <\/b><\/p>\n The way Deuba went abroad just a week before the March 21 election<\/span>, <\/span>} had raised a lot of doubts. The main reason for Deuba’s departure for Singapore is that he did not vote under the symbol <\/span>}’<\/span>}}<\/span>‘ and <\/span>} in the election held under the leadership of his own party’s General Secretary Gagan Thapa. The leader who fought for democracy all his life interpreted the boycott of the election without any concrete reason as <\/span>}’<\/span>‘<\/span>‘ <\/span>}. This was not befitting for a leader of his stature<\/span>, <\/span>}, which led to the defeat of the Congress candidate even in his safe stronghold like Dadeldhura.

Is there a TAG_OPEN_span_140 TAG_CLOSE_span_141 game being played to give legitimacy to the Deuba faction through the new nexus between the judiciary and the government and reverse the achievements of <\/span>}’<\/span>‘Special Congress{<\/span>‘ <\/span>}? <\/span><\/p>\n Entry of new power and use of Deuba<\/b><\/p>\n }<\/p>\n The strategy of the new forces in the current power equation, Ravi Lamichhane and Balen Shah, also seems to be linked to Deuba’s return.TAG_OPEN_span_139 They want to keep the leaders of the old parties at the centre of the controversy to cover up the government’s failures and governance chaos. The government’s strategy of using Deuba as <\/span>‘<\/span> ‘<\/span>}{‘ <\/span> to break the internal unity within the party and stop the growing influence of young leaders like Gagan Thapa seems clear. Until yesterday, Deuba was called <\/span>‘<\/span> corrupt<\/span>‘ <\/span>‘ and <\/span>‘<\/span>‘villain{<\/span>‘ <\/span>{{TAG_OPEN_span_127}. <\/span>‘<\/span>venerable<\/span>‘ <\/span>}<\/span>}? <\/span>This is surprising. <\/span><\/p>\n Special Congress and the Price of Deuba’s Silence<\/b><\/p>\n }<\/p>\n After Deuba went abroad on October 26, the special general convention held as per the statute had infused new leadership and new enthusiasm. But <\/span>, <\/span>} Deuba and his group did not want to accept this democratic method. They boycotted the special convention, ignoring the minimum conditions of democracy, which is to obey the decision of the majority. It was not just a boycott of a program <\/span>, <\/span> but an attack on the party’s internal democracy. Deuba’s innocence, being a helpless witness to all these developments, has dealt a big blow to his democratic credentials. Now he’s back to save power, not to correct the same <\/span>‘<\/span>‘foul game<\/span>}‘ <\/span><\/span>, <\/span>{{TAG_OPEN_span_110} There are. <\/span><\/p>\n ‘<\/b><\/b>‘ <\/b>Crisis of Enclosure and Rest{<\/b><\/p>\n }<\/p>\n Sher Bahadur Deuba’s biggest problem is the <\/span>‘<\/span> illiberal circle<\/span>‘ <\/span>}. This group will not allow Deuba to take a break. They have grown up to exploit the power of the state under the umbrella of Deuba. For those <\/span>‘<\/span>‘<\/span>}’ <\/span>}, their own interests are bigger than Deuba’s health or the party’s future. Although Deuba himself has hinted at a rest, this selfish circle has drawn him back to Kurukshetra. In the later years of Deuba’s life, it has become a trap to carry the burden of these parasites. <\/span><\/p>\n The Pinnacle of History and the Path of Deuba<\/b><\/p>\n {{TAG_OPEN_span_100}BP Koirala<\/span>, <\/span> Leaders like Ganeshman Singh and Krishna Prasad Bhattarai never chose the path of institutional destruction despite the conflict and ideological differences within the party. They trusted the new generation and upheld the dignity of the party. But <\/span>, <\/span>} Deuba is at a juncture where he will have to decide whether to preserve his own legacy or become the custodian of the faction. Knocking on the doors of the court for the party’s legitimacy and not cooperating with the elected leadership seems to have deviated from the path of those top men in history. <\/span><\/p>\n Final stroke: politician or faction’s leader<\/b>? <\/b><\/p>\n There is only a little space left on the canvas of Deuba’s long political career. How he applies the last stroke of the brush<\/span>, <\/span>} will therefore evaluate his history. Will he respect the sentiments of 54 per cent of the cadres and stand for party TAG_OPEN_span_92 TAG_CLOSE_span_93 unity? <\/span> Or do they promote the Kuru dynasty feud within the Congress by riding on the buoy of dissidents<\/span>? <\/span>Deuba’s return can bring miracles in the Congress<\/span>, <\/span> if he dares to abandon his ego and selfish circles and bless the new generation. Otherwise<\/span>, <\/span>} his comeback will be just another nightmare for the activists. <\/span><\/p>\n Samagrama<\/b>},<\/b><\/p>\n The return of Sher Bahadur Deuba is not just the arrival of a leader {{TAG_OPEN_span_84 TAG_CLOSE_span_84}}, <\/span> This is a new test of the balance of power within the Nepali Congress.
