New Government and New Decisions
KTM Metro reporter
Kathmandu, August 6, 2016:
1) The new Prime Minister Prachanda has held a meeting with the leaders of the Madheshi Front at his office in Singh durbar on August 5, and discussed the matters concerning the Madhesh movement. President of NC Sher Bahadur Deuba was present at the meeting.
After the meeting, speaking to the reporters, chairman of Federal Socialist Forum Upendra Yadav has said that they have agreed to set up a high level commission on investigation into the violence, killings, and deaths during the Madhesh movement; the government agreed on providing the families of the people killed during the Madhesh Movement with relief; and to take back all the cases against the protestors, and so on.
2) The government has decided to provide the families of those died in the Madhesh movement with one million Nepalese rupees; the Ministry of Home will pay the bills for the treatment of the injured during the Madhesh movement; and the cases filed against the protestors will be taken back.
At the beginning of the Madhesh movement, Madheshi leaders had promised the cadres that they would provide the families of those cadres would be killed during the Madhesh movement with five million Nepalese rupees.
3) The government also has decided to take back the nominations made by the previous Oli government for 14 ambassadors. Responding to the question of the government annulling the previous government’s decision on taking back the names of the nominations to ambassadors the previous government had made, of the anchor of the Radio Nepal morning program called ‘antar-sambad’ today, Maoist-Center leader Ram Karki said that the nomination to ambassador was not the decision that directly affect the common folks but it would affect the foreign policy of the government so it was natural to nominate the person of the choice of the government to ambassador. He also said that the previous government headed by Prachanda in 2009 had appointed him as an ambassador to France, the parliamentary committee had completed the hearing, and the government of France had confirmed his appointment as an ambassador but the then Prime Minister Madhav Nepal cancelled his appointment.
Those fourteen poor fellows whose names were withdrawn from the nominations to the ambassadors to different countries must have paid a large sum of money to CPN-UML, and RPP-Nepal, as the Nepalese political parties have set the tradition of selling any political appointments. If the political parties are sincere enough then they will get the money back.
CPN-UML has strongly opposed the Prachanda government tacking back the names of 14 ambassadors nominated to different countries. The parliamentary committee was about to hold the hearings on those nominees.
4) The Chinese ambassador to Nepal went to see the former Prime Minister KP Oli at his Balkot resident on August 5, 2016, and they talked about the bilateral projects the Oli government had signed off with the Chinese government; and the Chinese diplomat assured Oli of enforcing the projects, the news in “gorkhapatra” of August 6, 2016.
