MAD MORCHA
The Kathmandu Post
14 December 2011
It was surprising to read the news report that the Morcha are threatening to quit the government at such a time when the Morcha and Maoists should have been cohesively working and smoothly facilitating the peace and constitution drafting processes (“Morcha threatens to withdraw from govt.” Dec.13, Page 1). It sounds funny when one of the coalition partners blames the other for not abiding by the deal. Blaming each other for not working towards the common goal would simply burden this period of transition. Especially now, as we know the SC has only given the CA another six months of life, and a lot needs to be achieved in this time.
The coalition government has comfortably enjoyed a three-month honeymoon period and they have not handled state affairs as envisaged. The people had high hopes from this government to relieve the common people from economic hardship, and yet as usual, they have been let down.
