KAZEYA RESIGNS

New elections to be held!

(Mohsin Haque, somewhere in Rangoon, 11:35)

The Riots and the gherao of the government buildings worked. After starving the government officials and madam inside for three days (just three?), Kazeya and her cabinet agreed to resign. Kazeya Kom was allowed to visit the parliament, accompanied by various student leaders where she presented her resignation papers, while the students, who had already stormed inside the parliament cheered from behind, seated in the chairs, which were ones occupied by the corrupt leaders. The military had been called to suppress the protests, but poor Kazeya, her military betrayed her and instead helped organise a civilian coup.

I, Kazeya Takeyuchi-Kom, swear in the name of constitution and my people (*constant booing from behind*), 
to respect the principles of the constitution of East Indian lands, and hereby present my resignation letter to the elected representatives and the chief justice of the supreme court (*students stand and hail left-wing slogans, cheer and celebrate*). 

Alongside me, Ameena Chowdhury, the general secretary, the entire cabinet and the parliament existing in the current structure will be dissolved, and new elections will be held, in order to satisfy the wants of the people (*gully gully me shor hai, kazeya m***rch*d hai!*  *Inquilab Jindabad!*  *Lal Selam, Lal selam!*  students chant).

Students celebrate their victory outside university.

New elections are to be held in a week, and election officials have also been replaced to be impartial. In the whole riots that happened, 17 students who were martyred in the protests will be given full state honours, and a memorial also appeared near the Japan Embassy colony, which appears to be built by some local artisans and students from various universities.

We hope a better future for the people of this nation, out of this tyrrany of the dictatorship and for the betterment of people and the society. Never again shall money and power get above morals and humanity.

ABOUT US

People were wondering, so we will clear it out.

(Pyin Lee, somewhere in Kolkata, 13:26)

The Pacifist is a far-left newspaper which promotes peace and believes in inclusive development for all. While East India Gazette is a mouthpiece of the ruling government, regardless of which party rules the government, or The Herald, which serves the interests of the officials of universities, The Pacifist is managed by industrial workers and students. I, Pyin Lee am a student who studies in an university in Kolkata, while Mohsin, who became a hero for his brave journalism, was an administrative service aspirant himself, whose dreams had been shattered as a result of the paper leak.

People may call us biased for our ideological bias, but we are completely independent of affiliation with any organisation. We are completely managed by workers and students, who can be from various organisations and various enterprises. And no, we initially were not anti-government in fact. We became anti-government after various scandals that emerged in Kazeya's regime.

If somebody wonders, we are in direct competition with The Herald, which is a structural opposite of ours, and is managed by bootlickers of the Universities (don't take personally, we still can be friends lol).

Our newspaper, formally, is still illegal after the charges of sedition had been pressed upon us. However, the interim government has pardoned us individually, and with some paperwork, it seems like we will get our machines and our office back too.

ELECTIONS

Coming to the fun stuff!

(Meena Jehan, Sittwe, 14:01)

The coming elections has some candidates, who also were at the forefront of this struggle against the regime. Kazeya seems to still have an ego of hers, as a result, she still seems to go for re-election but we don't know who would win, so can't say much about her.

Following are the candidates:

Kazeya Takeyuchi-Kom: strongwoman leader, ruled the nation for almost 13 years and has cult-following among the 40-60 year olds. Her style of a boss, managing the nation continues to fascinate many, but for us is plain bs. She is a social-democrat and believes in some sort of co-operation with the private hands, however also seems like a bit socialist, as she did nationalise some industries.

Ratree Pranee Metharom: Don't get me started, she is a really sweet woman in her 40s, however she is known more for how she looks rather than her actual work. She has a cult-following among men (you can guess why) and the students, who like her persona of a free-spirited woman, who believes in Marxism and non-cooperation with the bourgeoise. She is also a hardcore federalist, who believes that the Thai terrorists, despite being a Thai herself should be punished for they fail to see the inclusive nature of this nation.

Ramaya Bezbaruah: She is a regional leader in Assam, and when I say regional, I mean it. Her party, the People's conference of Axom has been accused many times of committing atrocities against the minorities of Assam and she has been arrested many times for her hateful speeches. The leader? definitely no chance. Kingmaker, more like Queenmaker? Of course.

Jenny Kom: She has a cult-following in North-Eastern India and the mountainous regions for her 'Debate-queen' persona. She wins the debates everytime, and is a strong advocate of autonomy for the mountainous areas. Her popularity just keeps rising, even among the non-tribals who look her as an alternative to Kazeya, cuz she is literally a boss too, just with different clothes.

Shekhar Upadhyay: He is a leader in Dhaka, who is known more for getting mocked by the government. He has power, he has influence but most of the nation does not look to care much about him. He is a left-wing bro, who believes in ideas of people like Jayaprakash Narayan and Ram Manohar Lohia, who are reputed Indian socialists and also believes in people like Aung San and U Razak, who were instrumental in bargaining for rights of the Burmese from the British. Overall, his ideas are complicated but you could say he wants 'Socialism with Indian characterestics' eh? Overall he has only some following outside Dhaka, and he is nothing more than a kingmaker too.

Amaya Misaki-Das: She is more commonly known as the 'Queen of Irrelevancy'. She was elected the prime minister during the late 70s, and was toppled over by Kazeya for political instability and for supressing democracy, the irony. Amaya seems like an influential person in areas of South Bengal, North Arakan and various other Bengali, Rohingya and Mon areas. She is more of a centrist leader, with some left-leaning ideals. 

U Myin: Myin is an hardcore federalist like Ratree, but this is his only ideology. Overall, he seems to believe in free-markets, and organises some liberal forums out here and there. Is he a chance? Probably not because East India is mostly left-wing unlike the 70s and 80s, but he will definitely split votes for his 'debate-bro' persona and his cult-like following among some edgy internet teens.
