HELLO NEPAL

  The Himalayan Times 28 October 2021 Mockery of democracy It is not surprising to see the Supreme Court (SC) judges being embroiled in delivering controversial verdicts considering their appointments based on political affiliations. The quota system being applied by and among the political parties while appointing judges including the Chief Justice (CJ) in the SC, is an open secret. This malpractice being applied in their appointment continues to raise questions about the relevancy and fairness of their verdicts, which have been gradually discrediting the supremacy of justice. The people seem to be losing hope of getting a fair trial and verdict from such questionable role of the judges. The recent blame game between the past and the present governments and the SC paints a clear picture of bad practices prevailing in the political and judicial history of Nepal. The role and final verdict of constitutional bench of the SC while dealing with the then Oli led government’s fre...

Disclose the five-point deal Recently, Hemant Sedai had disclosed the five-point deal signed between the King Gyanendra and the then seven-party alliance on BS 2063, Baisakh 11, in a YouTube channel. Since then, a number of talk programmes about the five-point deal can be seen in the various YouTube channels.   Until now, except Baburam Bhattarai, none of the signatories of the five-point deal have publicly either rejected it or accepted it. Looking at the elements of the five-point deal, the then seven-party alliance had unbelievably and irresponsibly deceived the people and continues to deceive them  not disclosing it to the people until today . Also, it was surprising to see even the King Gyanendra has not publicly disclosed it. I am sure, the people are desperately waiting to see the senior leaders of the major political parties show sincerity towards the people and the nation and themselves and be bold enough to disclose the five-point deal considering the on-going ...

Shocking news about senior leaders While celebrating Dashai, a friend of mine suggested me to watch this YouTube. I was totally disturbed and shocked to know about the irresponsible, corrupt and anti-nationalistic acts of our senior leaders of major political parties. If you have not watched it, please do so. You will be surprised and shocked knowing their disgusting and anti-nationalistic political activities.  It seems that they are on the way to destabilize and disintegrate the nation and making its people stateless.    YouTube Link https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UBmA8Q0aiI8

  WHO says it may be 'last chance' to find COVID origins The World Health Organization said on Wednesday its newly formed advisory group on dangerous pathogens may be "our last chance" to determine the origins of the SARS-CoV-2 virus and urged China to provide data from early cases.  The first human cases of COVID-19 were reported in the central Chinese city of Wuhan in December 2019. China has repeatedly dismissed theories that the virus leaked from one of its laboratories and has said no more visits are needed. A WHO-led team spent four weeks in and around Wuhan earlier this year with Chinese scientists, and said in a joint report in March that the virus had probably been transmitted from bats to humans through another animal but further research was needed. WHO director-general Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus has said the investigation was hampered by a dearth of raw data pertaining to the first days of the outbreak and has called f...

  The Himalayan Times 7 October 2021 It is most unfortunate to see the politicians and their political parties playing destructive politics in the name of parliamentary democratic system, misusing the sovereign peoples’ mandate. Their past and the on-going unwanted and unproductive political activities for last three decades have enormously destroyed the concept, norms and values of people’s democracy and multi-party system, pushing the nation towards cultural, social and political chaos. The humble and patriotic attitude of the common people towards the nation seems to be gradually fading away due to the undemocratic and undisciplined guidance of the political leaders, thus tarnishing Nepal’s peace-loving national image in the international arena.   Expecting political stability in the country and the presence of a responsible government, the people had enthusiastically participated in the general elections based on the 2072 BS constitution and voted the then NCP to p...

Is federalism successfully and effectively working even after almost 5 years of its existence? Are the three levels of governments, in real sense, providing basic services related to health, education and other services to the people at their door steps as per the spirit of the federalism?   Students of a community school crossing the swollen Gyang River to reach their school in Bardiya This picture shows how the three levels of governments are independently or collectively working. This could be a representative example. Source: https://thehimalayantimes.com/nepal/lack-of-a-bridge-hampers-school-kids
