Who am I to say whether that was constitutional or unconstitutional move?

Who am I to say whether that was constitutional or unconstitutional move?

Sometimes, I get so annoyed with myself after reading and listening news about the political and apolitical related events. That’s what happened to me recently when I was reading news: “Writers, poets, artists, intellectuals and citizens protest against House dissolution” published in The Kathmandu Post. I was so angry with them and banged the table and later on tried to calm down myself saying that’s their wish and rights to do so. Why should I be angry for nothing?

It was really difficult for me this time to calm down my restless brain. I continued asking myself should these socially respected individuals (SRI) come out to the streets to protest against PM Oli’s constitutional or unconstitutional move to dissolve the House of Representatives (HoR) when this matter is under review at the Supreme Court. Should not the organizers of the protest program think twice before asking these SRIs to come out to the streets? Should not the individual SRI think twice whether it was the right time to participate in such politically instigated protest program?

However, what I can say or do if somebody decides to participate in a politically instigated protest program? It’s her or his wish and rights to do whatever she or he thinks and decides. But, I still feel that that was not the proper time and events for SRIs to participate. Finally, I must say that it is PM’s Oli’s decision to dissolve the HoR, whether it was constitutional or unconstitutional is now entirely unto the Supreme Court to decide.

Writers, poets, artists, intellectuals and citizens protest against House dissolution

Hundreds of people from various walks of life gathered at Maitighar Mandala in Kathmandu on Saturday to protest against Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli’s move of dissolving the House of Representatives.

The protesters included intellectuals, writers, poets and artists as well as members of the general public.

After finding himself concerned in his Nepal Communist Party, Oli on Sunday dissolved the House, in a move that has been described by many as unconstitutional. The Nepal Communist Party has since split into two, with one faction led by Oli and the other by Pushpa Kamal Dahal and Madhav Kumar Nepal.

The campaigners, who had gathered under the banner of “broad citizens’ movement”, have appealed to all who believe in democratic principles to join the resistance.
