On the 13th December 1998 a historic rally was held in front of Nepalese Embassy in N. Delhi under the banner of 'Solidarity Forum to Support the People's War in Nepal'. It is a first of its kind as various revolutionary Parties, individuals despite their differences in political lines came together to support People's War in Nepal thus showing true international spirit.
People all the way from Kashmir to Kanya Kumari, from Panjab to W. Bengal had come to attend this rally. Women's participation was most significant amongst the 20,000 Indian and Nepalese participants who stole the show by making militant march from Firoz Shah Kotla maidan to Barakhamba road where Nepalese Embassy is situated. The roads were splashed with slogans like 'Long live the unity of Indian and Nepalese People'. Down with Indian Expansionism and Imperialism. The militant rally defied police intervention to divert the scheduled route leading to one hour of road blockade in important road junction. Thus they were forced to toe along the scheduled route leading to Barakhamba road where the rally was converted into a mass meeting.
The meeting was chaired by Chittaranjan Das, the Convener of the Forum, conducted by Kanchan Kumar, a member of the Forum. Padma Ratna Tuladhar, a leading human right activist and ex-labour minister of Nepal was a chief guest at the programme. Speakers from various organisations: Mr. Tara Singh, Mr. Lok Raj, Mr. Ravunni, Mr. Raj Kishore, Mr. Kirpal Singh, Mr. Vervara Rao, Dr. Darshan Pal, Mr. Bamdev Chhetri and Mr. Suresh Aaley Magar spoke. There was unanimity amongst the prominent speakers on the major political question-that the Nepalese masses under the leadership of CPN (Maoist) is also the War of Indian masses, that they along with Nepalese revolutionaries are fighting against the common enemy, the Indian expansionism as well as imperialism. They reminded the audience of the direct Indian military intervention of 1951 to arrest and kill Bhim Datta Panta, a revolutionary leader of Western Nepal and warned the Indian ruling class not to repeat such treacherous act again. They emphasised that the real solidarity with Nepalese revolution would be manifested through developing the People's War in India and defeating Indian expansionism, the main pillar of reaction is South Asia. Guest speakers from Nepal reiterated that Nepalese are not anti-Indians as the Indian ruling class is trying to project but that they firmly opposed the anti-Nepalese activities carried out by the Indian ruling class. While exposing the atrocities let loose by Nepalese government on supporters and activists of CPC (Maoist), they expressed a sense of deep appreciation towards the Indian revolutionaries for organising such a Forum.
A delegation led by the convener handed over a memorandum to the Nepalese Embassy condemning the repression let loose by the Nepalese state. Chittaranjan Das, in his concluding speech called on all revolutionaries and democrats in India to join the Forum and to strengthen it.
