Feedbacks To Draft Constitution
KTM Metro Reporter
July 22, 2015: People have shown great enthusiasm for giving their opinions to the feedback collectors despite the planting seasons for farmers. Equally a small group of protestors have shown their determination to fight against the feedback collectors.
The government closed all sorts of the state and private businesses for easing the feedback collection for two days. Certainly, prime minister and his ministers, and political leaders would not lose anything closing the state agencies and private businesses, too. However, people in general lose a lot in term of loss of business opportunity and economic gains.
Prime Minister Sushil Koirla has been using his prerogative to close the entire businesses of the nation frequently disregarding the loss of businesses to the common folks. He closed two days for holding the SAARC summit in 2014, and now another two days for collecting the feedback. This is exactly the state terrorism fitting to the shutdowns imposed by the political protestors going against the law of the land.
One of the private entrepreneurs had questioned, “Was it really necessary to close all the business for two days from Monday through Tuesday only to give and collect feedbacks to the draft constitution?”
The government pays the salaries to the state employees while the companies pay the workers at the private businesses. Only the losers were the farmers that have lost the plantations days without having compensation from anybody rather losing the water to the evaporation when they could not transplant the rice saplings.
Thapa brothers of the RPP-Nepal injured while forcibly trying to stop the collection of feedbacks in Hetauda on Tuesday, July 21, 2015. Obviously, the police either did not recognize Kamal Thapa: the chairman of the RPP-Nepal, and his brother Ganesh Thapa: a famous football player, and used their batons on them mercilessly.
The police needed to use the law of land as the law enforcement people rather than using the force as the Thapa brothers did. The police needed to take The Thapa brothers in custody and put them in a safe place until the feedback collectors finished the business.
In protest against the high-handed force of the Nepal police, the RPP-Nepal had called for the shutdown of the Terai districts, and closing the Kathmandu valley from 4:00 pm today. The RPP-Nepal manifesto had clearly stated that the RPP-Nepal was totally against using the shutdowns as the protest weapons. But when it needed it used it. Who cares for that?
The Nepalese media have given the prominent attention to other agencies providing their strong opinions or feedbacks primarily concerning those agencies.
The Supreme Court of Nepal gave its opinions stating the judiciary should be always independent from any agencies and any shadow of political influence on it should not fall on it.
The Nepal army strongly opposed the provision for not making representation in the National Security Council, and also opposed the responsibility given to the Nepal police and armed police force for the national security stating the national security is the sole responsibility of the army.
Some of the common suggestions included direct elections to the elected offices such as president, prime minister, and chiefs of ward committees of municipal or village development committees, according to the news posted on myrepublica.com on July 22, 2015.
