Maintain law and order

It seemed that Nepal would see no more bomb blasts killing innocent people, and the common people would have a sound sleep following the comprehensive peace agreement signed in 2006 between the then seven party alliance and the then CPN-Maoist. Following this event, CPN-Maoist had entered the mainstream politics. The first Constitution Assembly declared Nepal a Republic, abolishing the 250-years-old monarchy. Promulgation of the new constitution and holding the three tiers of elections were the follow-ups.

However, the integration and disintegration of the political parties continue to discourage the people. Even after the promulgation of constitution, regional political parties showed their dissatisfaction over some of the articles of the constitution and staged street protests. The common people had to even suffer from seven-month-long trade blocked at the borders.

Nepal is now, on one hand, in the hands of two-thirds majority communist government led by KP Oli for the last fifteen months. However, the political environment in the country does not look promising. The Biplav-led Maoist group, on the other, has started destabilizing the law and order situation in the country with its anti-social activities in response to the government’s decision to ban it and arresting its activists. The NC and RJP lawmakers have heavily criticized the government for its inability to maintain law and order situation in the country and have suggested the ruling parties to hold political dialogue, setting aside its egoistic politics, with the splinter Maoist group “Lawmakers condemn govt for security lapses” (THT, May 28, Page 1). Let us hope PM Oli will show his political acumen to bring the Chand-led group into political dialogue and save the lives of many more innocent people in the coming days.
