Rights, at last This is in response to the article entitled "Thai government grants citizenship to Nepalese" published recently in TKP. This is a humanitarian step taken by the Thai government. It has relieved those long stranded Nepalese who should have acquired Thai citizenship earlier. They can now cherish the freedom as they are entitled to equal legal protection. In general, citizenship is one's birth right. Denying the citizenship rights simply on the basis of heredity and ancestry is simply unfair. When we go back to our origin, it directly discriminates our fundamental rights. We have to try and accommodate everyone and respect the rights of the minorities as well. The Thai government's decision is indeed commendable. Junga Bahadur Niraula I would like to ask the CPN-UML what happened after the three-day bandh? Did they gain anything from it? Was its purpose to unleash public sufferings? Why did people fight to restore democracy? If this sort of things go on, people will raise arms against democracy and demand for the Panchyat system. Please, think before calling for Nepal bandh. If the political parties call for bandhs so frequently, the economy will be paralyzed. Moreover, the people will be disenchanted with the political parties. So it is high time people geared up against such worthless bandhs. Dil Basnet |
