Violating Others’ Rights While Meeting Their Demands
By KTM Metro Reporter
May 12, 2011: while demanding an immediate call of a meeting of the Constituent Assembly, lawmakers belonging to five small parties have had shouted slogan at the meeting of the legislature-parliament forgetting that they have been violating the rights of other members to present their bills and views in the parliament. However, the Speaker has managed to run the session of the parliament despite the shouting of the lawmakers of the five small political parties.
Cadres of political parties, students and even common folks on the streets indulged in violating other people’s rights to regularly run their businesses and travel normally calling for shutdown of Nepal or district or regions and so on whenever they need to put pressure on the government to meet their demands. In such a case, the victims are the innocent people.
The government is not protecting the fundamental rights of people to run their business and travel as they need whenever the political parties call a shutdown taking strong actions against the students and cadres of political parties that enforce shutdowns rather wait for the people suffer and let the callers of the shutdown rein the country. This is a contagious decease coming from the neighbor where people can do whatever they like in the name of democracy.
So, Nepal needs a strong government that follows the rule of law rather than the rule of the cabinet decisions. Nepalis have had enough shutdowns and closures during the last 20 years. We need to end such shutdowns that severely violate other people’s rights.
