Spectacular Shows of Nepalese politicians
By KTM Metro Reporter
July 24, 2012: senior leader of CPN-UML Madhav Nepal went on telling his people that the election to a new CA on November 22 was not possible as Prime Minister Baburam Bhattarai had announced it without consulting with him consequently breaching the constitutional provisions. He further said that the Interim Constitution has no provision to hold such an election; so an amendment to the Constitution through a political consensus was required, ignoring or even not knowing the ruling of the Supreme Court of Nepal on dissolving the CA and then holding a fresh election to a new CA has become the part of the constitution. Mr. Madhav Nepal needs to learn more about the Nepalese laws. Mr. Madhav Nepal also accused Prime Minister Dr. Bhattarai of running the administration disregarding the norms and values of democracy, demonstrating his ignorance of democratic norms and values. He also chided the Prime Minister for not quitting the office and staying on in the office even after so many leaders had been doing everything possible to remove him from the power. He said all these things at the fifth anniversary of the Pushpalal Memorial College in Kathmandu today.
Today after the Head of state President Dr. Ram Baran Yadav told President of NC Sushil Koirala, Vice-president Ram Chandra Poudel and Senior leader Sher Bahadur Deuba that the President was bound by the Constitution and could not stepped over it, and told them to build a political consensus on forming a new unity government, these three guys immediately went to the CPN-UML leaders at their headquarters in Kathmandu and formulated a strategy of removing the prime minister from the office and then forming a new unity government without delay, as they could not wait any longer for the prime minister to go out of the office voluntarily. So, they would hold a decisive talk with the UCPN-Maoist on this matter but they continued to ignore UDMF that had been one of the main players in the Nepalese politics. They continued to commit the mistake of not including the UDMF in the talk to be held with the UCPN-Maoist.
Chairman of Nepal Federation of Indigenous Nationalities (NEFIN) Raj Kumar Lekh firmly told the people gathered at one event in Chitwan today that the indigenous leaders could not trust the political leaders of the Bahun-chhetri parties so they were announcing a new party of their own on August 9: International Day of the Indigenous People in World. Another report had it that the CPN-UML leaders of the indigenous origin had been preparing to form a new party whether the party of Lekhi and the CPN-UML guys were the same or not was not known.
Youth cadres of the NC and CPN-UML had been ready to go to the streets demanding the resignation of the prime minister starting off today. This might be one of the strategies of the NC and CPN-UML leaders to topple the current government. They needed to follow the constitution but they were not apparently for doing so, as they were ready to break anything on the way when they called for a peaceful shutdown of the country in protest. So, Nepalis might need to bear the high cost of the strategy of the NC and CPN-UML to bring down the current government through the street movement.
While the NC and CPN-UML leaders had been busy with formulating the strategy of toppling the current government, former CA members belonging to these two parties had been complaining that their leaders had made decisions without their knowledge and wanted their voices to be heard by their leaders, and asked them for reinstating the CA.
NC has some sensible leaders, too that have rightly said that the fresh election is the correct path to follow but their voices have been drowned in the loud voices of the NC leaders that could not distinguish the right from the wrong and vice versa, and totally ignore the democratic norms and values.
Today, leaders of UDMF met with the Head of State President Dr. Ram Baran Yadav and told the president that the best way to resolve the current political deadlock might be the revival of the CA, promulgate a new constitution following the recommendation of the Commission on State Restructuring for provincial names and number, then form a government led by the NC, and warned the president of changing the current government without a political consensus would invite political chaos.
