We were expecting some improvements in the security of the Nation after the formation of new cabinet. We got Mr. Bam Dev Gautam as our new Home Minister and as soon as he was sworn into that post he announced that he will improve the security and will take action on illegal activities of YCL and Youth Force.
But the current scenario is different, the government is not able to stop these wings of Maoist and UML and their activities are increasing by the day. In recent days, due to these forces, curfew had to be imposed in Dhankuta.
As for Kathmandu, our minister targeted the night life. He asked all the entertainment things that are run in Kathmandu valley. They should be closed by 11 pm in Kathmandu, 10 pm in Patan and Bhaktapur 9 pm. Don’t you think it is a straight interference on Human rights? We have rights to party, go to disco and pubs at night. Is this a type of democracy we were looking for?

Nepal is going though a transition period, it is understandable that various issues that were neglect or just shrugged off before are bound to rise for public scrutiny. The problem is not that these issues are just or unjust but the problem is the lack of understanding and abiding the rule and norms of a democratic process.These various politicians claim to be a part of a democratic system and yet it seems they dont understand the very essence of a democracy. The recent issue of “ Ek Madesh Ek Pradesh“ is one of those very issues that is far more volatile and no decisions can be made until it goes through the whole constitutional assembly process. The way these political parties are holding the nation on a ransom is totally unacceptable.
It is a very sensitive issue altogether, it is an outright division of a nation based on ethnicity and has a tendency to segregate and hinder the whole united Nepal frontier that is so much need to help us progress and break the vicious cycle of cultural and religious dogmas that have done a lot of damages already. The politicians fighting for this so called tag need to look at the simple fact that within those areas, it’s not madeshies or pahadiyas or tharus or any other ethnic groups that live there its Nepalese who live there, irrespective of what you look like you are a Nepali.

I don’t want to ask this question. Can you guys imagine that RNAC flight was cancel due to no passenger? I think everyone has thought it can happen in near future, but I guess no one thought while it is celebrating its 50th year of its service and the very next day it celebrated its birthday, it will have to a face such a situation.
So many international Airlines are operating in Nepal, many more to come in near future but our own airline is facing loss. Poor service, not enough plane and delayed flights are the major problem of our airline company. Since last year there have been improvement in arrival of tourist but still NAC or RNAC has to cancel it’s flight due to no passenger.

Though the Himalayan Range of mountains separates Nepal and Tibet, the neighbour of Nepal is China, not Tibet. In recent days, there has been a protest in Nepal, the protests being for making Tibet the neighbour of Nepal – the autonomous region. Yes, Tibetans have been protesting for a long time since they have been imposed a rule by china in 1984 and the Tibet is non a part of China (Tibet was already an independent state until China took it over in 1984 in dishonest manner). And as usual, many Tibetans are staying mainly in Nepal and India as refugee.
It is a time for sports in China – Olympic but Tibet has not been lightened by the Olympic fire, but the fire of violence. Protestors have been able to gain attention of outer world and now protests have scaled to the top.

There has been a series of news in Media about the series of protests in Nepal by Tibetans Refugees & use of excessive force by Nepalese Government. Friday 28th March 2008, Some Refugee student tried to enter the UN premises illegally (About 18 protesting Tibetans exiles have scaled the walls of the UN Compound in Pulchowk, Lalitpur) when the Nepalese authority stopped them from entering through the main gate. And scenes of running and chasing were seen in the street. These types of incident (Protest of Tibetans & Use of force by Nepal Police) are happening everyday. Government is using excessive force over the peaceful protest of Tibetans in Kathmandu. Nepalese authority have been trying to justify their action by mentioning that Nepal wouldn’t tolerate Anti-Chinese feelings in Nepalese land and also stated that the refugee went against the Refugee convention 1951 (?). But, it is not realistic to believe in the authorities’ view, as the whole International community is protesting against the suppressions by the Chinese authority. Read the rest of this entry »

CA Election in Nepal is scheduled to be held on 10 April 2008. The Election fever along with the weather of the country is getting hot day by day. Leaders/politicians of different political parties are knocking our doors for the vote. So finally we can see the environment of Election in our country. But I’m really depressed by the nomination of Candidates from the political parties & seeing there election campaign.
One should not compare this election with the parliamentary election that we have had in the past. This is a CA election where we are choosing the persons who will draft the new constitution - a new foundation of our Country. The political parties should have nominated intellectuals, peoples having clear image & the law professionals but we can see same old dirty candidates stamped by Commission of Investigating Abuse of Authority. Hence they failed on this
They are showing fingers to each other in fact fighting with each other rather than educate the people about CA election & there letter of declaration regarding election & regarding why people should vote them. Hence they are failing in the opportunity to win people’s vote.
Let’s join our hands to make this election successful & choose the right person who will write the constitution which will be productive to Nepal, all the Nepalese people & our future generations. As we all know that we can’t clap with one hand but if several hands come together for clapping then that sound, that tune of clapping would be really really melodious.

I was going through BBC news and found this topic “Nepal action on Tibet ‘excessive‘” and it is true if you see some youtube.com videos where you can see protesters with blood, Nepalese police using excessive force against the protesters. In this same news there is the following line,
“How can a government that came to power on a wave of public protests against an authoritarian regime, justify crushing peaceful protests by Tibetans?”
Any of us can justify this line? Do you think that Nepalese government’s policy is right? All the communist party of Nepal and the government are supporting the One China Policy, but what about the Tibetans rights? It was taken over forcefully by Chinese; it is not the case of like Sikkim, because of some bad politicians in Sikkim, it became a part of India. Read the rest of this entry »
