Third Anniversary Of Comprehensive Peace Agreement
By KTM Metro Reporter in Kathmandu
On November 20, 2009, following the Nepalese calendar, most of the media people have celebrated the third anniversary of ‘Comprehensive Peace Agreement’ signed between the Government of Nepal and the then Communist Party of Nepal-Maoist (CPN-Maoist) on November 21, 2006 according to the Gregorian calendar.
After reaching the Comprehensive Peace Agreement, the government has held elections for the Constituent Assembly, and then the Constituent Assembly removed the Shah dynastic rule and declared Federal Democratic Republic of Nepal, and the legislature held elections for the president and Vice-resident, and held elections for a Prime Minister twice.
At the same time, the Madhehsi legislators held the legislature hostage for a number of days, then the Nepali Congress legislators and then the Communist Party of Nepal-Unified Marxist and Leninist l(CPN-UML) legislators have held the legislators for 57 days; now the Maoist legislators have been holding the legislature hostage but have not broken the record of 57 days the CPN-UML legislators have set.
The members of the Constituent Assembly have been in the process of writing a new constitution. They will complete the writing of a new constitution in the coming months.
However, the Government and the Maoists have not been able to integrate the Maoist combatants into the Nepal Army causing delay in completing the peace process in Nepal. Some political analysts say that if the political parties have followed the consensus politics probably Nepal will not have landed in such a political deadlock but some political leaders particularly the leaders of Nepali Congress have opted for the majority rule following the parliamentary system of governance giving room for the unscrupulous politicians to play a dirty political game have led the country to the current political deadlock.
