Corrupt state machinery Vs selfless Satyagrahi

Corrupt state machinery Vs selfless Satyagrahi

It is so sad to see this government not fulfilling its promises reflected in the past agreements reached with Dr. Govind KC who is now in his 19^th hunger strike asking the Oli government to abide by the previous agreements. Why the government is ignoring Dr. KC’s hunger strike for so long has been the public concern. Is the government on the path of being arrogant and autocratic government as opined by constitutional experts and leaders of the main opposition? Is it possible to imagine so in this 21^st century? Is the Oli led government imagining to supress the voice of the people and running the country with iron claws?

KC has staged 18 rounds of hunger strikes in the last eight years. Every government headed by the NC, the then UML, the then Maoist Centre and their coalition government in the past had signed agreements with him to end his hunger strikes. None of these previous governments were sincere to implement their agreements. The doctor ended his hunger strike every time hoping the governments would be sincere to implement agreements. But, those agreements have been hardly implemented.

It is known to everybody that Dr. KC has been putting forward his demands in favour of the people who have been deprived of basic health services especially in the remote areas. It was due to his untiring effort and firm determination that the National Medical Education Bill was prepared. The ruling Nepal Communist Party, however, presented a different bill and passed through the House in January last year, ignoring an agreement reached with KC who had demanded that the bill be passed in its original form without any changes that were made to suit some interest groups.

Establishment of at least one state-run teaching hospital in each province and conducting MBBS classes at the Karnali Academy of Health Sciences are among the demands of KC. Until now, the government has shown no interest to implement these demands instead it is still trying to ignore them and calm him down forever by not showing any interest to his deteriorating health.

How sad and unfortunate!
