HELLO NEPAL

The Himalayan Times 15August 2013 CIAA’s activism It was really encouraging to read the news report “CIAA chief Karki orders tax evaders booked” (THT, 14 August, Page 1) at such a time when his legitimacy to lead CIAA was questioned and even challenged at the Supreme Court. However, getting a clean chit from the court, his appointment to such controversial position began with high expectation from the people. During the past five months, it seems that he has been trying hard to clean his tainted image by chasing the corrupt officials of various organizations. Instructing the Inland Revenue Department to bring all the tax evaders to book has been his recent bold step towards his mission of bringing all the culprits to book. It is not easy to completely root out the corruptions that have been deep-rooted and almost institutionalized everywhere. However, his effort of trying to bring the culprit to book deserves appreciation. His recent action of putting the Nepal Electr...

I am tired of seeing the irresponsible acts of so called political parties of Nepal . They have been insensibly showing their egoistic politics and dancing in the tune of foreign powers who are trying to influence the future of Nepal to meet their vestigial interests. Why don’t the people realize this and act? I am sure sooner or later it will happen. However, it may be too late to act if the situation goes out of hands. Kashle aguwae garne ra kahile dekhi suru ganre hou?

  The Himalayan Times 1 August 2013 Unnecessary niggling   This is in response to the news article “Grand plan to revive monarchy under way: Baburam Bhattarai” (THT, 31 July, Page 5). These days senior leaders of different political parties have been unnecessarily niggling over the former king’s visit to different parts of the country for different purposes. He was even forbidden to distribute relief packages to flood affected people in the western part of the country on the pretext of his violation of election code of conduct. He was blamed for fishing in the murky water during this fragile political situation. There does not seem any reason to be nervous with and afraid of his tour for any reason. After all, he is simply a common citizen like every Nepali. The major political parties have been making blunder one after another during the last six years. They were not able to institutionalize the post jana andolan achievements. They made the erstwhile C...
