Brutal killings

Nepalis around the world were and are still known to be the most humble, sober, friendly, loving, caring, religious, and culturally rich people. However, will we be able to maintain these wonderful sayings in the days to come considering the ongoing political and social nuisances? I am worried about the growing imbalanced living standard of the people and temptation of the people of spending luxurious lives. I am much worried about the social and cultural differences that could arise in the country if the political and economical affairs are not properly handled among the newly established provinces. We have started experiencing the political power tussle between the federal and the provincial governments in the recent days.

People do not seem happy with the government’s performances. No concrete solutions have been sought to improve the painful and horrible conditions of the roads inside and outside the capital city. Dr. Govind KC had to stage fast-unto death protests for 15 times just for the noble cause of the mass population who are in dire need of accessible quality health services. Political divergence between the ruling party and the main opposition is growing at such a time when they should be playing reconciliatory politics and shouldering the responsibilities of meeting the people’s aspirations.

In the recent days, horrible and heart breaking news are coming in from different parts of the country. Innocent girl-children are raped and brutally murdered. Another dreadful incident shocked the nation on Sunday after the news of 11 year old boy was mercilessly murdered by his kidnappers in the capital was spread around like a wild fire. This time, the kidnappers were killed in police encounter.
