HOPEFUL SCENARIO
It was encouraging to read the
news report “Parties settle judiciary, citizenship issues” (THT, April 24, Page
1) with regard to drafting new constitution by end of May 2012. It was obvious
for the major political parties to come to consensus on these issues on time
keeping in view of time constraint in their hands. Hopefully, they will also come
to agreement for the other contentious issues soonest possible so that the
drafting of new constitution is completed by the dead line. Time is running
fast. The general public is becoming nervous about the future political course
of Nepal. They have started wondering
whether the responsible political parties will be able to resolve the national
issues on time.
Looking at the past, the CA has
been made a place for simply putting rubber stamp on Big Three’s agenda. The
CA’s supremacy in the past has been completely undermined due to their
irresponsible and undemocratic acts. The CA Chairperson should have played more
proactive role and forced them to strictly follow the norms and values of
democratic process. Practically, it never happened so from his end except to go
along with Big Three’s monopolizations and make the existence of other CA
members mere spectators and bear the burden of general public’s criticism.
The CA meeting scheduled for April
22 had to be postponed until 26th April simply because of last hour
deliberation among the major parties for coming to consensus on four major
issues of new constitution “CA meeting postponed till Thursday” (THT, April 24,
Page 1). Should not CA rather be made a common platform to seek common
understanding among all the CA members? The undemocratic and authoritarian
working style of major political parties has tremendously affected the
legitimacy and effectiveness of CA that was the biggest achievement of post II
Jana Andolan.
