Dangerous confession
March 9, 2020 09:10 am
In January 2020, in a festival to mark Tharu culture, Pushpa Kamal Dahal ‘Prachanda’ made what by any standards is an unusual statement. He rejected the idea that the 17,000 deaths from decade-long conflict could be blamed on him. But he readily accepted responsibility for 5000 deaths. Certainly some organisations have clearly been responsible for many more deaths than this. In the case of the Nazis and Khmer Rouge, to name but two, they were responsible for millions of innocent deaths. But this sort of perverse number game does nothing to diminish the significance of Prachanda’s admission.
