Heinous Act
THE dastardly cold blooded murder of the Inspector General of the Armed Police Force
Krishna Mohan Shrestha, his wife Nudup and bodyguard Sub Inspector Surya Regmi, on Sunday
morning, comes as a shocking piece of news to all sensitive and rational people. As a
person, late Shrestha, known as an affable person and a ‘thorough gentleman’,
the loss bleeds the heart. The unidentified assailants have struck a blow which must be
condemned in the harshest of words. There are no words to describe how heinous the act
was. When any sort of violence is frowned at, shooting to kill people cannot be tolerated.
The country is wracked by violence at the moment, and the terrorists are motivated by
twisted and weird ideas that their tactics of violence is fruitful. By holding the country
and its people to ransom through coercion and violence, they are not doing the country any
good. Terrorism of any sort cannot be for the benefit of anyone. This method of shocking
the very conscience of human beings is just a reflection of the brute for whom reason does
not hold any ground. Murdering a person serves no purpose in the civilised world that we
live in.
In the death of late Shrestha, the country has lost a patriot
who devoted all his life in serving the country and the people. Everyone who knew him were
impressed by his friendliness and easy-going manners despite him being a high executive.
The people who thronged in large numbers to pay last tributes to the courageous ‘soldier
of the country’ could not hold back their tears. This speaks for the respect people
had for him. This respect arose from the way late Shrestha intermingled with everyone
including his subordinates. Journalists too recall how he had maintained rapport of the
best kind. Yet, today he is no more with us just because of the hateful and condemnable
action of a few misguided and villainous people. It is an irreparable loss but it makes us
all, the sensible lot, to be ever-determined to root out such evil and their perpetrators.
