MY BELOVED ONE’S

Hashina Khatun,wife of Martyrs Mohamod Janghir along with sons Ibran, 3 yrs old and Gurfan 6 months old.

‘He is our only bread winner, It has been difficult to live without him. I’m afraid how the debt is paid.’ Almost after a month of his death his mother Julia Khatun, and wife Hashina Khatun said to me repeatedly. Their economy condition seems to be very bad. They had been living on rent at Bijulibazar, Baneshowre and they had the dream to live here in Kathmandu for ever. So Hashina says, ‘His only dream was to own a house here in Kathmandu.’Which is almost sure not to be fullfilled.

As their neighbourous’ say they had been participating demonstration time and again. He was bored with chaos in daily routine, and for the solace also, he has joined them and participateed in entire together. Recalling the dreadful incident they said. It was 9th of Baishakh, 22 April 2006. A Tailor Master Janghir and his neighbouring shopkeeper Shyam Kumar Jakwal joined the demonstration. At first they went observing to near chowk and with mass enthusiasm they went to Tripureshowre,center of Kathmandu. The demonstration was quite peaceful but a fat man had only climbed the hoardingboard with King’s quation, we were attached with Lathi, Goli and tears gas. Friends were scattered hither and thither. A dump of more than up people was pilled upon. Shyam and Janghir, Shyam came home along the path on Bagmati river but Janghir didn’t come.

It had been down pouring. It stopped. It became dark but he didnot come back. It was already late night, suddenly Janghir himself called from Model hospital. Neighbouring friends, leting armies not to notice, went to the hispital immidately. And only it was known he had got head injury with tear gas cell and bullet.

Only a few days ago his wife gone to her parental home Bihar, in India to attend Marriage cermonial of her relatives. Janghir also had to go but could not manage since no one was there to keep the shop open. Hasina recalls, ‘my mother-in law telephoned me and said he had got head injury and was in hospital.’. Despite curfew and strike she came to meet him on hospital bed. No one could stop her.’ There was a bandage in head, he could talk and even taking food and , and did not want to talk when i met him on 14th . She says,’Nothing was lacked in treatment. Doctor also had said he will be recovered soon. And we were waiting for him to come back and run the shop again.’

But it happend different: catastrophe in his family. He became Martyr Mohammod janghir.

“How cruel some people can be even while tratment some of the money lenders came in hospital to claim their money.’ She speaks her plight. Yhey had a telephone. One of the money lender has taken it away and some of other have taken away sewing machines. Father-in-law, mother-in-law and brother-in-laws went back their home to run their own business.

The shop also is closed. The condition seems to be in the worst condition. She says:’What can i do? Perhaps the aid of government has declared to provide would be enough to pay the debt, if only the government would provide me a job and Nepali citizenship.’

Eldest son mohammad Arphan is being sponsoreed by Nobel Academy for school eduacation. Hashina’s brother also have come here in Kathmandu to support her.
