Nepali Congress Lawmakers Disrupting Parliamentary Session
By KTM Metro Reporter
May 23, 2011: Nepali Congress lawmakers have disrupted the session of the legislature-parliament yesterday demanding the government meet its 10-point demand and asking for the resignation of the prime minister. In view of the only a few days remaining life of the Constituent Assembly-cum-parliament, the Nepali Congress lawmakers seem to end the term of the current Constituent Assembly-cum-parliament and take the country to a state of emergency and impose a presidential rule. Thus, the Nepali Congress lawmakers are determined not to extend the term of the Constituent Assembly-cum-parliament and consequently not to write a new constitution.
If the intention of the Nepali Congress lawmakers is really for disrupting the writing of a new constitution and creating a new despot for running the administration without a constitution, this will be the second time, the Nepali Congress would kill the chance of writing a new constitution by the people’s representatives. In the 1950s, too, the Nepali Congress did not use the opportunity of writing a new constitution holding elections to a Constitution Assembly rather had engaged in the power politics consequently losing the power to the despot.
This time, too, Nepali Congress wants to take the country to a presidential rule. President Dr. Ram Baran Yadav has been acting as a cadre of the Nepali Congress rather than the president of Nepal. So, he would certainly follow anything the president of the Nepali Congress would ask him to do although Mr. Yadav has already told in public that he was not for imposing a presidential rule but the activities of the Nepali Congress lawmakers clearly indicated that the Nepali Congress wanted to disrupt the writing of a new constitution at any cost although they held a mass rally in Kathmandu on Friday, May 20, 2011 with the slogan of ‘peace and constitution’. Their deeds go against this slogan.
