End political deadlock
The level of frustration of the general
people towards the political parties is growing so high which could be
detrimental for them in the long run in terms of their political existence. It
is the time for the ruling parties to be sensible and sincere in resolving the
current political impasse with the disgruntled parties without wasting any more
time. It is not only the UDMF now in the streets. The Janajati and other
disadvantaged groups have also joined the political struggle thus complicating
the political environment for the Oli led government. They have continued their
Kathmandu-centric agitation to exert pressure on the government which should
not be undermined by the major parties.
If both the ruling and agitating parties
continue to argue on constitutional issues, there seem to be dismal chances of
coming to consensus in the near future. Simply inviting for talks without doing
proper homework will not bring any result. They have already held thirty six
rounds of talks, but all in vain. On the other hand, senior leaders of UDMF
should also understand that call for rewriting the constitution is next to impossible.
The all party meeting called by PM Oli on
Tuesday ended without any concrete conclusion after the UDFM decided to boycott
it “UDMF boycotts PM’s all-party meeting” (THT, 25 May, Page 1). It seems that
the government has to create a conducive environment by addressing some of their
demands.
