AMBIGUOUS ACTS



The Kathmandu Post
Voice of the People
4 January 2013

IT was not surprising to read that the President won’t let parties slack off (“Prez won’t let slack parties sit idle: Aide” January 2, Page 3). The President’s move to re-extend the dead-line for consensus time and again can only go for so long. How long is he to continue to act in such an ambiguous manner? Time is running out for him to emancipate the nation from the political shackles of irresponsible and insincere major political parties. They remained defiant to his calls for forging the consensus for the fifth time and might continue to do so, considering that rift between them appears to widening. How can the President be sure that parties will forge consensus to form a national unity government within the latest extended dead-line?

It seems that the more time is given to the parties, the more the new proposals are put forwarded by the ruling parties, creating more mistrust and resulting in a never-ending political standoff. Instead, it would much better for the President to call for a round table conference with all the political parties from the erstwhile CA to collectively find a solution.
