Political Leaders Going Abroad For Training
By KTM Metro Reporter
December 5, 2010: Sixteen leaders representing different political parties have left Kathmandu on Saturday, December 04, 2010 to attend a weeklong training program on federal structure and election system in Stockholm, Sweden sponsored by International Institute for Democracy and Electoral Assistance (IDEA). The attendees are UCPN-Maoist leaders Barshaman Pun, Devendra Paudel, Hisila Yami, Khimlal Devkota and Ram Kumar Yadav, NC leaders Bimalendra Nidhi, Chakra Prasad Bastola, Dr Shekhar Koirala, Radheshyam Adhikari and Puspa Bhusal, CPN-UML leaders Pradip Gyanwali, Prithivi Subba Gurung, Ram Chandra Jha and Agni Prasad Kharel and Jitendra Dev of the Madhesi People’s Rights Forum-Democratic and Atmaram Prasad Shah of the Madhesi People’s Rights Forum-Nepal; UCPN-Maoist leader Dr Baburam Bhattarai and CPN-UML leader Ishwor Pokharel cancelled it at the last moment according to ‘The Himalayan Times’ online.
These guys have developed thick skulls that prevent them from taking anything good into their heads. So, holding such a seminar is useful for such shameless politicians going on holidays at the cost of someone rather than staying in the country for resolving the political deadlock nearing to a crisis.
If they think a little bit coolly they will realize that they don’t need any political training because they have successfully led Nepal to a Federal Democratic Republic and the most important thing remains to be done is strengthening and consolidating it. But these selfish guys are certainly going to make Nepal a failed country, if they continue to fight like stray dogs for snatching as large bones as possible from one another. So, you can train monkeys better than these guys that have developed habit of enjoying lives at someone’s cost. Spending money on training these guys believing they will learn and use the learning for making the country better is surely the waste of resources.
Given the political situation they have been facing in the country they should be able to teach others how to tackle such situation rather than going abroad and sitting in a cozy hall and listening to the lectures of some experts, and then enjoying juicy beefy lunches and dinners when 90 percent of Nepalis are surviving in meager foodstuff they save after submitting the major portions of their harvests to the landowners or the political looters. If these so-called political leaders have a bit of shame for not doing any good for the common folks, Nepal would have been better than any other neighboring countries.
