Be reasonable

It is frequently read and heard that the NC President Sushul Koirala has been claiming that the next government should be led by Nepali Congress since both the UML and UCPN(M) have already run the government as reported in “Sushil for NC-led govt” (THT, Nov.8, Page 1). Now, the other NC leaders have joined him in claiming for this as reported in “Congress leaders claim for next unity government” (THT, Nov.8, Page 1). It does not seem wise to publicly claim for putting forward such dull reasons at such a time when he even has not been able to hold his party cohesively together. Time and again, he has created confusions and failed to democratically run his party.

All the signatories of the seven-point deal should sincerely be serious in effectively implementing it rather than starting wrongly interpreting the deal. Has this been difficult for NC to see that Dr. Babu Ram Bhattarai (BRB) led government gets all the credit for doing good jobs? If not, why does not Sushil think for NC to join the government and even ask UML to come on the board? Why does not he take a lead role in supporting BRB led government to become a unity government? For what reasons, it would be necessary for NC to lead the next government?

The current government led by BRB seems doing fairly reasonable jobs to complete the long awaited peace and new constitution drafting processes. Some important measures towards completing these processes have already been taking place. Time frame for completing the integration and rehabilitation of PLAs is out and now are in the hands of Special Committee. Packages for these provisions are almost complete.

UCPN (M) has been extremely reasonable to solve the existing problems related to peace process and shown sincere commitment by signing the seven point deal. The other parties should also equally reciprocate and sincerely and responsibly act towards the effective implementation of the deal.
