Govt
must be responsible
Nepal has now entered into a new
political structure with the three tiers of governments in place soon after the
completion of three levels of elections. The leftist government at the centre led
by Prime Minster K.P.Oli has recently completed its three months honeymoon
period with not much exciting performance. It has been the most powerful
government in the Nepal political history with almost a two third majority and
is even now joined by the Federal Socialist Forum Nepal.
The recent irresponsible activities
of this government, however, have irritated and surprised human rights
organizations and civil society, medical professionals and students, opposition
parties and common people “NHRC urges govt to save Ganga Maya’s life” (THT,
July 3, Page 2). Ganga Maya Adhikari’s health, who has been on a
fast-unto-death for the last 30 days in Bir Hospital, is rapidly deteriorating
due to the government’s apathy towards her demand of initiating action against
the culprit in accordance with the Supreme Court’s order. None of the members
and officials of the government have visited her so far to express their
concern for her health and demand. What a shame on the Oli led government which
boasts for the prosperity of the nation.
Dr. Govind K.C’s health is also deteriorating.
He is on his 15th hunger strike in Jumla to protest the government’s
ill motive of twisting and turning the medical education ordinance bill that
was, in fact, authenticated by the President during NC led government “Dr.K.C’s
health deteriorating” (THT, July 3, Page 5). In fact, this government should
have passed the bill as it was to provide health services to common people in
every nook and corner of the country as recommended by the high-level Mathema-led
commission.
