HELLO NEPAL

The Kathmandu Post Letter to the Editor 20 January 2013 I am pretty sure that most of the common people like me would be wondering why the President decided to let the major political parties forge consensus to form a national unity government on their own rather than using strict measures to complete the process based on the principle of democratic necessity at this politically and constitutionally critical juncture. Being the patron of Interim Constitution, is it not his responsibility to emancipate the nation from the current political stalemate and constitutional crisis rather than simply passing the “ball” to the parties’ court (“Prez puts the ball in parties’ court” January 16, Page 1) ? If the current situation isn’t timely addressed, the achievement of Second Jana Andolan might go down the drain. Considering this, what is the first President of Republic Nepal waiting for?   Rai Biren Bangdel Maharajgunj, Kathmandu on line jobs   ...

 The Himalayan Times 18 January 2013  T he decision of opposition parties including NC and UML to hit the streets beginning January 19, as reported in “Opposition parties set to hit the streets to oust govt” (THT, January 16), to oust Dr. Baburam Bhattarai (BRB) led coalition government will remain nothing but to offering him more time to stay in PM’s chair rather than ousting him.

If we carefully looked in the past, what did the opposition do to fight with the government to control and minimize these difficulties? Be...

The Kathmandu Post Voice of the People 15 January 2013 IT is shame on the that he is interfering in the on-going police investigations against Maoist cadres who brutally murdered journalist Dekendra Thapa eight years ago during the so- called people’s war against the state (“PM Bhattarai ‘orders’ halt in investigations” January 9, page 1) . He should listen to the accused murderers who had already confessed to the crime during police interrogation and now they deeply regret their heinous act. They seem ready to face any punishment coming their way. Had the PM publicly announced that the investigation process would be carried out by the state machinery in an impartial manner rather than blocking the interrogation process, his tainted image of being arrogant, egoistic, self-centred and stubborn chief executive would have been washed clean. Instead, terming the investigation as a farce being hatched to derail the peace process only makes him look like an idiot. Rai...
