Security and Rule of Law
By KTM Metro Reporter in Kathmandu
While entering into the Constituent Assembly (CA), the top Nepalese political leaders had been ignoring the security check at the entrance to the CA; so, the security officials feared that the chance of somebody smuggling in weapons and explosives in their vehicles was always there if the political leaders continued to ignore the security check. Probably, the top political leaders were sure of their vehicles not carrying any weapons of destruction but they failed in following the rules set by the CA for security. They needed to follow the security rules and let the security officials check their vehicles at the entrance to the CA if they were for the rule of law. Once, the security guard at the entrance to the USAID/Nepal office performed a security check at the US Ambassador to Nepal following the security rules similar to anybody entering into the office; the Ambassador appreciated the security guard for performing the duty without any bias. See the personality of the person brought up in the democratic culture and of the Nepalese political leaders.On top of that they forgot that they had been putting their lives at risk not letting the security check at the entrance to the CA.
Similarly, the traffic police officials in uniform and in civil dress invariably had been ignoring the traffic rules. Most probably, they think that the traffic rules are only for the commoners to follow not for the traffic officials. Is it the rule of law?
