Nepali Congress Cadres For Final Fight
By KTM Metro Reporter
June 14, 2011: speaking at the reporters’ club yesterday, about a dozen of the district presidents of Nepali Congress have said that they would launch a decisive final peaceful fight against the Maoists if they don’t follow democracy, ‘gorkhapatra’ of today writes.
If they were politically reasonable persons they would never talk of fighting against anybody for democracy because their party Nepali Congress is the first political party of Nepal and is called Democratic Party unfortunately without democracy.
If we take a look on the performances of the Nepali Congress leaders during their 20-year rule after the people’s movement of 1990 then everybody would say they did not institutionalize democratic values and norms but the widespread corruption in the administration and in their politics.
Nobody could finish off democracy in Nepal if the so-called Nepali Congress democrats work for democracy rather than going for a peaceful movement and demanding for elections dissolving the current Constituent Assembly as has been doing by the RPP-N chairman Kamal Thapa. The question is what is the difference between the Kamal Thapa and these so-called Nepali Congress cadres if both the parties want a fresh mandate from the people without promulgating a new constitution.
Nobody can institutionalize democracy going to get a fresh mandate from the people without promulgating a new constitution. If the Nepali Congress cadres are really democrats as they claim they need to work together with all political parties including the Maoists rather than preparing for going to the head-on confrontation with the Maoists putting the crafting of a new constitution at risk that will certainly please the regressive forces including the Kamal Thapa of RPP-N.
