TGQ 1. How you take King Gyanendra’s recent speech made in Biratnagar?

Mr. Sapkota: In my opinion King is not only a person. As a matter of fact he deserves the responsibility of crown. The fabric of our national unity has been woven by the crown. I heartily welcome King’s speech, which was made in Biratnagar. This is not a time to analyze King’s speech but it is crucial time for Nepalese people to stand in a single platform.

TGQ 2. Political parties allege that the King on October 4 last year exceeded has constitutional limits while sacking then Prime Minister S.B Deuba. What is your comment!

Mr. Sapkota: The very time King has not crossed his constitutional limits. So far as I think political parties have shown only their vested interest in the name of democracy. S.B Deuba is not sacked. Democracy should not be used only for a handful of persons.

TGQ 3. How you react to the King’s meeting the people in the Eastern Region despite the political parties request to the King not to go there? Should the King have accepted the suggestion of the political parties? Or whatever he did was a correct decision? Your Comments please!

Mr. Sapkota: There should be deepest relationship between King and Nepalese people. In this context King is our parent and we are his children. Parents like to meet their children, which is only but natural. Therefore, the King’s meeting the people in the Eastern Region is natural. Nothing to panic. Democracy is not a toy or a tool.

TGQ 4. How you access the past 13 years if democratic rule in the country? Was it up to the expectation of the people? Or was it otherwise?

Mr. Sapkota: Past 13 years of democratic rule in the country could not maintain peace and order. People only felt havoc. The common people did not get opportunity to promote or enhance their talent and personality. Only the leaders and their henchmen enjoyed it at the cost of the national exchequer. That was sad.

TGQ 5. How is the education sector these days? Are you satisfied? Your remarks please.

Mr. Sapkota: Education is more fundamental like fooding and lodging. Education is not any one’s property. It is not a good sign to interfere education sectors. It is a matter if great sorrow.
