The interim constitution, after all, is being thrust on the people of Nepal . The overwhelming millions of poor simple Nepalis do seem to be totally unaware about the nature of the constitution and the intentions of the drafters. The constitution, even though interim, does not reflect the aspirations of the Nepali people as it is neither tolerant nor liberal, the two most salient features of a democratic constitution. The obduracy of the Seven Party Alliance government not to accommodate the justified criticisms and decide to enforce it, could be nothing less than a clear manifestation of brutal arrogance generated by the most conspicuous absence of any opposition. It looks quite mysterious that the CPN (Maoists) too have happily agreed to join the arrogant club. This shows how impatient they are to join the government. The public agitation last year, better known as Jan Andolan II, has contributed to reestablish the discarded, dishonored and discredited politicians. The CPN (Maoists) had played a greater and more important role in that uprising but offered the plum to be eaten by the SPA. The SPA government started wreaking vengeance on their opponents and behaved like dictators as no one dared voice any opposition. They flouted all the democratic principles of separation of power and made the executive not only supreme but even autocratic. Had they done it in the interest of the country or the people, it could have been acceptable. But, it smacked of revenge and self-interest. Moreover, their pliant and weak-kneed behavior and policies have not only mortgaged our national honor but even endangered our very sovereignty. That our politicians have turned into dictators or subservient to their alien mentors don’t surprise us as they are totally devoid of patriotism and all moral scruples, that the CPN (Maoist) too have become their accomplices is quite understandable as they are losing their patience to get into the government but to find the votaries of democracy around the world supporting the undemocratic behavior of our corrupt politicians has shaken our faith in their democratic protestations. It has also given rise to the misgivings whether these philanthropic donors are really trying to help the poor millions or safeguarding their own interest by supporting corrupt regimes. As far we are concerned, we are still pinning our faith in the overwhelming millions of poor Nepalis and our security forces, who will definitely wake up at the appropriate time to defend the country.
