What went wrong?
This is with reference to the
news story “NPC put off sine die after CPN-M boycotts meet” (THT, 17 Sept. Page
1). I would like to say that it was unfortunate that the National Political
Conference could not convene as envisaged. It was hoped that the political
parties within and outside the CA would arrive at consensus for resolving the
outstanding constitutional issues. However, it seems that the ruling parties
did not show seriousness in addressing the issues raised by CPN-M led 33
political parties alliance.
Blame game between and among the
political parties have started as in the past pushing the nation towards confrontation.
The ruling parties need to be more open, serious and responsible for creating
conducive environment so that the parties outside the CA can feel assured that
their voice would also be heard.
How could the NPC be held
without any agenda? Discussing issues without any purpose would yield no
results in the conference. Should there be an agreed-upon agenda for the
conference, the end result of it could be fruitful in resolving the political
differences. Unfortunately, it seems to me that they made yet another political
blonder.
