Radha Krishna Deo: Friends Nepal and Nepalese suffer a lot within last two decades for Power.Politicians have ruined all established policies of the past concerned Experts and Bureaucrats are in their pockets. If the cost of production ,transmission and distribution are less than other three major projects executed in Nepal should be consider immediately.Delaying or unnecessary interference will drag the people in more sever condition.
FunkyMonkey: If some of the madhesis really want to drag women and beat them for being ‘witch’, I say take this one please.
Gaurab: Baburam Bhattarai didn’t sack the murderer, Balkrishna Dhungel and instead goes around sacking minor problems, that’s not what a prime minister should be doing!!
Kathe Bud: I usually do not leave a response, but after reading through a few of the remarks on Nepali Times | The Brief » Blog Archive » Lose-lose situation. I do have a couple of questions for you if you do not mind. Is it only me or does it look like a few of these comments look like they are coming from brain dead folks? And, if you are posting at additional places, I would like to follow anything fresh you have to post. Would you list of the complete urls of all your social community pages like your twitter feed, Facebook page or linkedin profile?
Jeevan: Good move by Mr. Ban Ki-Moon. Hopefully, the Maoists and political parties will now concentrate on the peace process and writing the constitution.
Vija Srestha: Read this article and many more if you want to know the reality behind the hugest Hudro project in the world and read more about Three Gorges Company. Mr.Karki should be going to temple and thanking God for people around who want to wake him up to avoid catastrophe in Nepal. China’s Three Gorges Dam: An Environmental Catastrophe? Even the Chinese government suspects the massive dam may cause significant environmental damage We simply cannot sacrifice the environment in exchange for temporary economic gain. These the words by Chinese Government and scientists.Read the above article by yourselves. So here is hungry Nepal,with politicians who have no responsibility for anything,here are corrupt leaders who think only about shorterm populist goals to come to power . Letting China pull out from this project would the first responsible step by the Nepali government.Small projects to satisfy community needs is the best idea ever presented by Germany,use it.
Pokhreli: I watched Ms Shanta Chaudhary and a Secretary of from the Ministry of Energy on Mountain Television channel few days ago. I was happy with the explanation given by the Energy Sec but Ms Chaudhary appeared to be at loss with her answers. She kept on parroting that the agreement was not “transparent” and furthermore kept avoiding giving a straight answers (most likely she does not have sufficient knowledge to answer the questions raised!!) I am most unhappy when the committee says the project is “anti national” Why? I believe the committee mostly consisting of opposition parties are only objecting due to the fact the credit will go the present Maoist goverment and help them when the general election comes. Previous agreement with SMEC was in my mind “anti national” as the power produced would have been sold to India when our country is suffering up to 18 hrs a day of loadshedding. At least this time the power generated is for domestic...
Subodh Raj Pyakurel: “Mr Ban is welcome to visit Lumbini any time for a pilgrimage, but without hobnobbing with Maoist leaders who refuse to fully abide by the Buddha’s teachings of peace and non-violence.” The aforesaid words are sufficiently powerful to be applied by Mr. Ki-Moon’s own conscience, authority, accountability and his responsibility. Finger crossed; let us watch carefully.
Naresh Koirala: During the Nuremberg trial, Nazi loyalists’ tried to justify their crime under the cover of “we were simply following orders”. When BP Koirala queried his military prison guard in Sundarijal whether there is ever a situation when he will deny orders from his superior, the soldier did not have an answer. Then BP asked him if his superior asked him to rape his own daughter, will he? There is a moral threshold even in matters of performance of one’s official duties. As UN Secretary General, Ban Ki-moon’s job is to help bring Nepal’s peace process to fruition. It has become abundantly clear over the last couple of years that the process has stalled because the Maoists, lead by Prachanda, never intended to abide by the 12 point agreement they signed. Ban Ki-moon seems to have forgotten the Maoists take their inspiration from some of the biggest killers of 20th century- Mao, Lenin, Stalin. Every Maoist major decision, whose ultimate objective is to capture power by...
Jujumaan Nepali: Lets bear in mind that, Gautam, the putative vanguard of democracy in Nepal along with his coterie of elite revisionists,long ago,lost their credibility vis-a-vis their perrennial supply of tirade against the maoists. Now that this clique hasn’t been able to sell their prejudice-laden-impoverished-arguments, to the hoi polloi, they have resorted to ad hominem. No wonder, the maoist chair, who has been sort-of vindicated, through the ballots,has been their main target!
Thomas: Too bad the people whose houses are getting bulldozed in Kathmandu so BRB can claim at least one populist accomplishment can’t have their own committee of CA members reviewing their legal cases. Sure, this hasty West Seti contract stinks of secret dealings, but who seriously thinks that all the KTM home demolitions are on any sturdier legal foundations?
Raju Lama: Well said and I completely support Kuk Chandra Gautam in expressing his feelings and advice for the Gen Secy of the United Nations. The bottom line is that Prachanda alias Puspa Kumar Dahal is nothing but a THUG who should be behind bars for the bloodshed that he is responsible for. Please do not let this THUG involve himself with Buddhism and Buddha whose teachings are completely opposite to that ideology of Prachanda.
Tapan Das: The only justification for Secretary General of United Nations Ban Ki Moon to visit Lumbini to share common platform with Puspa Kamal Dahal will be when Dahal will make an announcement of abjuring violence forever and change his nick name into Ashoka instead place of Prachanda. Ban Ki Moon must take that undertaking from Prachanda before embarking to that visit to the sacred site. Otherwise it will be tantamount to blasphemy.
Malla: Amazed to see cheap opinion from a person like former Assistant Secretary General of the United Nations. No doubt he could not achieve his endeavors!
binu: Well, enough. Personally, i did not expect such a crap from a nepalese, former under-secretary general of UN. It was the war where not only the maoists were culprit. The state was waging a war against its citizen : to kill, rape, torture and kidnap were practised by either sides. You have so many times wrote to ‘correct the maoists’ but have you ever written about the rights violation by NA? So you talk about Madi and Muktinath but why not about Doramba and Sapana? If you have right to believe on liberal democracy, why not others have belief on communism? To forget the next side of coin is misleading. For ordinary citizens, development is their foremost priority. They dont care whoever will initiate it. Any propaganda aimed to restrict the development is disgusting. Gautam should have known it.
