Stopping Enforcing The Decision of Prime Minister And Council Of Minister

Issue 01, January 01, 2012

By KTM Metro Reporter

December 27, 2011: hearing on the writ petition filed by Chure Bhawar Rastriya Party for stopping the government from recruiting soldiers from the Madheshis, a single bench of Justice Baijanath Upadhyay has issued an interim order yesterday to the prime minister and the council of ministers not to enforce the decision made on December 20, 2011 on recruiting 3,000 soldiers from the Madheshi to the Nepal Army.

The reasons for stopping the enforcement of the decision are that the government has not made any rules concerning such entry of the one group into the Nepal Army.

This is true that the government thinks that it could do anything it likes through the decisions of the Council of ministers. Madhav Nepal as a prime minister had made numerous such decisions going even beyond the Interim Constitution of Nepal of 2007. The Supreme Court had quashed such decisions made by Madhav Nepal. Surprisingly, even Baburam Bhattarai has practiced to do things without the rules. The practice of not following the rule of law has been a hangover from the Panchayat regime and certainly of the democratic practices of the Nepali Congress and CPN-UML leaders.

Naturally, Madheshi intellectuals and politicians have been mad at the interim order of the single bench of the Supreme Court of Nepal stopping the government from enforcing the decision on recruiting 3,000 soldiers form the Madheshis. Any logical thinking Nepalis would support the idea of proportional representation of all Nepalis in the Nepal Army to make it the national army but it should be made following the rules and regulations.
