Rift in Nepali Congress

Monday, February 1st, 2010
..................................................................................................................

A High Level Political Mechanism meeting, scheduled to discuss the functioning of the current government, ended inconclusively on Monday. A few interesting details emerged afterwards, as leaders of various parties spoke to the press. From The Himalayan Times:

Nepali Congress has expressed its willingness to lead a new government during Monday’s High Level Political Mechanism (HLPM) meeting, provided the other two largest parties, UCPN-Maoist and the CPN UML, agree to the proposition.

Emerging from the HLPM meet, NC spokesperson Arjun Narsingh KC confirmed the party’s willingness for the job. He however set consent from the UCPN-Maoist and the UML as a precondition for it to happen.

This just hours after Kantipur reported that Nepali Congress was also going to seek clarification from Sujata Koirala for remarking that the current government should be changed. From Kantipur:

“If she was dissatisfied with the government or the prime minister, she should resign from the post or take the issue with the party,” NC general secretary, Bimalendra Nidhi, said. “Our agenda is constitution building, not government change.”

Soon after the HLPM meeting ended on Monday, Prime Minister Madhav Kumar Nepal called a meeting of his own with ten other coalition parties. The Himalayan Times says it was “a hasty reaction hinting at rising speculation about a change of guard in the government.”

Since the HLPM meeting ended indecisively, the Maoists have said they will start a new round of protests soon. From Nepalnews:

Maoist vice chairman Narayan Kaji Shrestha said his party would unveil new phase of protest programs that would exert pressure for writing constitution on time. He added that his party was hopeful that the mechanism would address the demand for correcting president’s move.

    When will these politicians change their mind set first for the welfare of Nepal and Nepalese? At present Nepal as a country is like a sick person, not being well checked diagnosed by the professional doctors to cure with a right kind of medication or surgery. All these different political parties are like disease of that very sick person, but these politicians don’t understand that each of them adds like a disease bug, instead, they all think that they are the remedy to cure the sick. But in reality, they are all infected with main disease of hyper hypocrites behavior, which is mainly caused by narrow minded and selfishness, infected mainly by corruption and power politics and the root causes are cold hearted with no degree of loyalty to the country. So, as to have a healthy Nepal, these sickened leaders needs to be diagnosed and cured with the medicines of wisdom to enhance their understanding of logics and reasoning, surgery is needed on their part of ignorance, so that they can see the light of truth and humanity. Nepal Ama, May I find the right physician to you to cure you! These political bugs are causing too much harm to our sickened body, I wish if I have a miraculous power, I would wipe out all these political virus from the body of our most loving Nepal Ama!

    Jai Nepal!
