Unwise suggestion

Was it necessary for the opposition
especially UML and NC to decide to ask the President not to issue the budget
ordinance that the government is preparing to recommend to him? Does it make
any sense to do so? Does the President lack minimum understanding of his job to
perform in accordance with the Interim Constitution? Why don’t the UML and NC
let the President to act in his own way rather than instigating him to do this
and that? Why are the major parties trying to drag the President into
controversy? Is it because the President has not so far been able to fulfil his
responsibilities as the head of the state and patron of the constitution
satisfactorily? Is he also responsible for lengthening the current political
uncertainty by simply asking the major political parties to come to consensus
rather than setting the dead line for forging consensus?
Looking closely at the ongoing political
tug of war between the coalition government and the opposition, the fate of
republic Nepal seems hanging in the middle to the air. It
seems that the achievement of second Jana Andolan can be reached out of hands should
they not be able to sort out the current political impasse in time. Is it
really possible for the major political parties to come to consensus that has
been the bone of contention among them for the last four and half years? The
country has completely plunged into political darkness and insensible political
confrontations. The people seem completely frustrated and tired of blame game
of the so called big political parties. They do not seem realize the hardships
of the common people. They continue to act irresponsibly and selfishly without
being sensitive and accountable to the nation and its people.
All the big parties are equally responsible
for pushing the country into this pathetic situation. They should not be
blaming each other rather they should be responsibly respecting each others
existence and forge consensus on the national issues at the soonest possible.
Otherwise, time is running out of their hands and would be too late for them to
act and realize. I am nervous with their insensible acts and egoistic politics
that might cost them dearly if they continue to do so.
