Divided They Fall Internal bickering and dissension have become permanent fixtures of the ruling party ("Undecided Undivided", SPOTLIGHT, May 31). Whether between Koirala and Bhattarai or between Koirala and Deuba, a day never passes without Congress leaders washing their dirty linen in public. Unfortunately, the Congress infighting is taking a heavy toll on the nation, which is passing through extremely difficult circumstances. Janak Kayastha Deuba Turns The Tables Prime Minister Sher Bahadur Deuba has turned the tables on his former mentor
Girija Prasad Koirala by flouting the latter's directives and dissolving parliament
("Undecided Undivided", SPOTLIGHT, May 31). It had been a long time since
Koirala had to face such utter disobedience. It is a good sign that the senior Koirala now
has a real challenger in Deuba. Ironically, Koirala himself called Deuba from London after
the restoration of multiparty democracy and appointed him home minister. Diwakar Bista The Fallen Tree Dissension within the ruling party has taken it to the verge of a major split
("Undecided Undivided", SPOTLIGHT, May 31). The grand old party is now bursting
at the seams. Even if the leaders reach some patch-work formula, the Nepalese people will
have had enough of them. On what basis can they ask for votes now? And why should the
people oblige them again? Bishnu KC Will Elections Be Held? At a time when the government had to postpone the local elections, it has
expressed commitment to hold the general elections ("Undecided Undivided",
SPOTLIGHT, May 31). Prime Minister Sher Bahadur Deuba is knowledgeable about the situation
of the country. If he fails to keep his promise to hold free and fair elections on time,
what would happen? Has he given any thought to the scenario? The country and people are
being made to pay for the ego clash between Congress stalwarts. Kiran Shakya Political Game They are at it again. The politicians are playing petty politics even as the
country is on the verge of collapse ("Undecided Undivided", SPOTLIGHT, May 31).
Sadly, no amount of experience seems to have instilled wisdom in our political leaders.
They don't care whether the country goes to the dogs. It has been the same story for the
last one decade and more. When will they clean up their acts? Jibesh Ghimire Grave Concern The article "Trauma and Turmoil" (SPOTLIGHT, May 24) portrayed the
sorry picture of rural life in Nepal. With the intensification of Maoist terrorism and
security operations, the poor people are caught in between. The happy and peaceful rural
life has been the greatest victim. Youths are leaving the country en masse. It is most
unfortunate that Nepal has turned into such a place in such a short time. Whatever the
political reasons, the fact that peace is lost pains every Nepalese. Nabin Baidya Indian General's Visit The visit by Indian army chief General S. Padmanabhan ("Gesture of
Support", SPOTLIGHT, May 24) and his unstinting support to the security operations
launched by the Royal Nepalese Army (RNA) against the Maoists has undoubtedly boosted the
morale of our soldiers. Coming from someone leading security operations against various
terrorist outfits in his country, Gen. Padmanabhan's soothing remarks were natural.
Terrorism, without a doubt, is the most dangerous enemy of both India and Nepal. Both
neighbors, therefore, should cooperate in rooting out this menace. Kabir Basnet |
