Education In Turmoil Apropos the cover story "In a Web of
Uncertainty" (SPOTLIGHT, March 29), it is clear that violent elements are bent on
bringing down the country. It is beyond the comprehension of die-hard revolutionaries, not
to speak of ordinary Nepalese, how disturbing the educational environment would help
advance their goals. Quite clearly, they are resorting to mindless violence and have lost
all support. Jitesh Gurung True Faces Exposed Students are the future of the country. By
announcing a meaningless five-day bandh to coincide with the SLC exams, the Maoists have
exposed their real faces ("In a Web of Uncertainty", SPOTLIGHT, March 29). This
proves that they lack minimum humanitarian concern. What do the Maoists hope to gain by
putting the future of hundreds of thousands of students and parents in jeopardy? Ghanashyam Poudel Defeatist Mentality If the Maoists want to test their public
support, they should do so peacefully ("In a Web of Uncertainty", SPOTLIGHT,
March 29). By resorting to violence and unleashing a fear psychosis, they would only be
lending credence to those who argue they have no public support. The Maoists are trying to
make their five-day bandh successful by intimidation, which is a manifestation of their
defeatist mentality. Kailash Baidya Terror Tactics The Maoist leadership is showing utter
disregard to the sensitivities of the common Nepalese ("In a Web of
Uncertainty", SPOTLIGHT, March 29) by announcing a purpose-less five-day bandh
coinciding with the SLC exams. In the run up to the bandh, the Maoists are creating an
atmosphere of terror by exploding bombs here and killing people there. They should
understand that no ideology can succeed without the people's support. How can they hope to
garner public support by resorting to such tactics? Umesh KC Same Motive Bad governance, corruption and Maoist
terrorism have joined hands to push the country to ruin ("In a Web of
Uncertainty", SPOTLIGHT, March 29). Whether they are corrupt ministers or Maoist
terrorists, these people are guided by the single passion of destroying Nepalese
nationhood. As far as ordinary Nepalese people are concerned, both have the same motive.
Neither is least concerned about livelihood issues of the people. Binayak Shrestha Startling Act Our politicians are acting weird by
unanimously calling for changes in the constitution ("Eureka!", SPOTLIGHT, March
22). While the country is facing multifarious challenges, our leaders can see faults only
in the basic law. Moreover, have the people given them the mandate to change the
constitution? Parties that want to amend the constitution should first seek the people's
mandate in the next election. Surendra Bista Positive Step The 11th amendment to the Civil Code is
bound to have a positive effect on the overall situation of Nepalese women ("New
Beginning", SPOTLIGHT, March 22). The clause dealing with conditional legalization of
abortion is really positive. The challenge is to make the service accessible to women from
rural areas. The law alone will not be able to bring about any change in the status of
women. Dhirendra Basyal |
