Constitutional deadlock

The Kathmandu Post

14 May 2009

As soon as the PM Dahal resigned from his position, it was obvious that there would be a vicious circle that goes around the major political parties to form the new government since none of the parties have majority seats in the CA (“Political polarisation leads to constitutional crisis” 13 May, Page 1). It seemed like a pretty smart and calculative move on the Maoist part. However, if this political polarization continues to persist, the resulting constitutional crisis could invite politically disaster. None of the political parties will gain from it.

In the name of peoples’ supremacy, the so-called manor political parties are creating a chaotic environment by instigating their sister organizations to come out in the streets and flex their muscles. Why do we engage in unnecessary and counterproductive confrontations? Can’t our political leaders be sensitive enough and resolve their political indifferences through the productive dialogue and mutual understandings for the sake of nation and its people?
