Kathmandu, May 28, 2016: Today, Federal Democratic Republic Of Nepal turned the ninth year of its existence. It is quite young even in term of the human life. However, within these nine years, Nepalese have seen the greatest achievement. A woman is the president, another woman is the Speaker, and the third woman is the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of Nepal. Nobody could have even dream of such things happening in the previous regime of the dynastic rulers.
On this very day, eight years ago, the people’s representatives declared Nepal the federal democratic republic removing and destroying the yoke of the dynastic rulers forever. All Nepalese living in country and abroad celebrate this occasion with great enthusiasm, and today all Nepalese have been celebrating it.
Some Nepalese and even the foreign friends have been always complaining bitterly about not happening as they think should happen even after eight years of the republican setup. No force could change the so deeply rooted political, social, cultural and economical conditions overnight means in a few years. Naturally, it will take some years to visibly enjoy the results of republic. Even today Nepalese have been enjoying more freedom than any time in the past.
Some politicians and their political parties have been seeking a share in every office the State makes the political appointee. The political party called NC that says it loves to sit on the opposition because it is the parliamentary tradition but its president Sher Bahadur Deuba has bitterly complained about not having the share in appointing the ambassadors, in appointing justices and so on.
Sharing is a loving no doubt about that. Even the medals the States has awarded to the dead and living personalities demonstrated that the State has been for sharing in even awarding the medals. For example, Madan Bhandari: late chairman of CPN-UML received posthumously the highest award Nepal could bestow on, then the late former prime minister also president of NC Sushil Koirala received the second highest award. Subhash Chandra Nemwang: former chairman of the constituent assembly and leader of CPN-UML received the second highest award, too. Here comes the Surya Bahadur Thapa of RPP also dead received the award posthumously. He had played a negative role in the Nepalese politics until Nepal became the republic. A number of Maoists also have received the awards, according to the news aired by the State-run Radio Nepal today morning.
The tradition of sharing in power, politics, and wealth had been set by the first Rana prime minister Jung Bahadur in appreciation of his seventeen brothers assisting him in massacring all his opposition in the famous royal massacre called ‘kot parva’. Jung Rana set the tradition of passing on the crown of the hereditary prime ministerial office from brother to brother rather than passing it on his son and grandson, as a sharing-in process.
The current politicians have continued this sharing-in-everything tradition set by Jung Rana. They need to stop this bad tradition and they need to work for the people and for the country rather than working for a cadre of political parties and others helping him or her in winning the party office or the State office. The remnant of the worst possible regime of the past has been knowingly or unknowingly unfortunately continuing even today affecting gravely adversely to the people’s welfare and the political setup.
