People don’t want violence

Nepal is enjoying its federal structure with a two-thirds majority government led by Prime Minister K.P.Oli of Nepal Communist Party (CPN) in command. This party had made a lot of promises during the elections which were tempting for the voters to get attracted. It has, however, failed to fulfill its promises. But his government does not get tired of telling the people that it is doing its level best to fulfill them. The main opposition has also equally failed to play its constructive role both in Parliament because of its internal political feud. In brief, both the ruling and opposition parties have disheartened the common people because of their poor performances.

Corruption in every governmental agency is rampant and has become more institutionalized. This situation has been gradually undermining the image and legitimacy of such a powerful communist government. The disappearance of 33 Kilos of gold, wide-body aircraft scandal involving billions of rupees, failure to nab the culprit of Nirmala Pant’s murder and other unlawful incidents that have taken place are examples of the government’s weak governance. People are of the opinion that the government has not been able to maintain proper law and order in the country and blame it for protecting the corrupt and miscreants involved in anti-social activities.

The government decided to ban Netra Bikram Chand led Communist Party of Nepal a few days ago citing this party was involved in destabilizing harmonious environment prevailing in the country by carrying out extremist and violent activities. PM Oli has warned that his government would be compelled to take more harsh steps if they do not return to mainstream politics. After witnessing the horrible and dreadful 1o years of conflict in the past, people do not want to see yet another bloodshed.
