As the zero hour to the elections narrows down, patriotic Nepali hearts have started beating faster. In a situation when the overwhelming majority of the uneducated mass has not yet been taught about the historic importance of the constituent assembly and the procedure of proportional representation and how important it is to pick honest representatives who will chalk out the destiny of the nation, it is but natural that patriotic Nepalis become panicky. With the reins of the government in the hands of the politicians whose loyalty to the nation has been irrefutably and irretrievably eroded by their granting of citizenships to millions of aliens and other servile behaviors, apprehensions that if they are returned to power and attain constitutionality, the very sovereignty of the nation will be greatly endangered are, indeed, well founded. To avoid this tragedy, we have been emphasizing on the change of the government but to our great frustration we have very miserably failed in our mission. But as the proverbial silver lining in dark clouds, we are still harboring some hopes that some savior will definitely emerge to save our dear motherland from destruction. The total failure of the government to maintain law and order in the country and the increasing lawlessness in recent days when candidates in the elections are being killed, do not bode well for peaceful elections. Such incidents do generate serious misgivings that the political parties who fear they might cut very poor figure in the elections will definitely try to disrupt the polls. Since this illegal government of satellite politicians should not be permitted to stay in power for long, all honest and patriotic Nepalis must come forward to foil the attempts of the miscreants to mar the polls. Even more important is to try to send new faces to the constituent assembly. The corrupt leadership has to be weeded out totally. We have to give a very clear message to all those politicians who have planted themselves as our rulers that they are not, at all, wanted any more. Instead, we must try to create a new atmosphere in the parliament by electing more women, dalits and janjatis to the constituent assembly. If we fail in our attempt and the same old faces return to power, even god may not be able to save this nation.
