Frustration
Frustration
The level of frustration of the
general people towards the major political parties has grown so high that could
be detrimental for them (political parties) in the long run in terms of their
political existence. The sad demise of CA I without giving new constitution due
to irresponsible and immoral acts of the political parties has been bitter
experience for the people. The self-declared deadline also passed by without
giving much awaited new constitution. How long they will take this time to
forge consensus on major issues is uncertain.
If both the ruling and
opposition parties continue to argue in their own ways concerning the
contentious issues, there seem dismal chances of coming to consensus in near
future. They should agree to immediately announce another deadline for giving
the new constitution and start the political process to forge consensus rather
than wasting time on blame game. The never ending game of coming to consensus should
be ended soon.
The on-going transition period
should not be prolonged for long in the name of consensus “Wait for consensus
cannot exceed two months: Acharya” (THT, 21 Mar. Page 1). They should be
prepared for opting democratic norms and values and its process in order to
break the on- going political deadlock. Otherwise, the entry of reactionary
forces, as labelled by them, in the ongoing precarious political situation,
cannot be ignored. If this happens, the chances of losing the Jana Andolan II
achievements seem high pushing the nation into more political chaos.
