With malice to none
Committee formed to probe the dubious findings of the previous committee…et another committee…

Nepal certainly is different than other friendly countries of the globe.

We have definitely so many things that make us to differ and that too very pleasingly with other nation’s of the world.

Thanks that our cultural traditions, religious rules and functioning style differ with even the developed countries of the west.

We differ with them on leadership issues. We are totally different than others on our bureaucratic functioning. Our ministers differ sharply with their counter parts not only on wearing of clothes but on styles on how to sit inside the official car on way to attending a lecture program. Nepali ministers more often than not prefer to sit close to the window so that the people on the footpath could see them with fluttering official flags.

Our leaders are unique. They are unique in the sense that they can push their ideas and views on any topic on earth, beginning globalization to the end of the civilization. Our leaders or for that ministers are several in one. They could exhibit the talent of Albert Einstein and concurrently could act like Marlyn Brando. Nepali ministers can talk on Ozone layer depletion to the annihilation of certain nearly extinct species like Chimpanzees to the Chinese Panda. Our ministers can prove at time of making lectures that they can make Japan like Nepal and that too within five years of time should they be allowed to do so.

Nepali leaders are of immense value. My own presumption is that should the developed countries of the West import our leaders, the latter would not only make their leaders’ corrupt but can make the host country collapse, economically and socially both. We can teach the countries on how to extract oil from the sand. We can tell the rest of the world on how to probe a particular case of corruption. We can advise them on how a committee is formed to probe a corruption case followed by the constitution of yet another committee to probe into the acts of omissions and commissions of the previous committee.

The last committee, if held under suspicion, could be brought under the jurisdiction of one more committee that will be empowered to investigate the activities of the previous committees. Unfortunately if all the committees thus formed are found to have been influenced by the corrupts, as it so usually happens in this country, could be subjected to yet another fresh committee manned by a very powerful and high ranking probe authorities.

The formation of the committees thus could be stretched to any extent and we will not mind if the length approaches to the length of Amazon River. If there is a furore in the political parties regarding the unjustifiable conclusions arrived at by the fairly log list of the committees thus formed in the long long past, one more committee could be formed to satisfy the ego of the parties thus crying foul against the conclusions of the committees.

This is not all, the congress can demand one committee to be headed by its own party man. The UML will certainly reject the committee headed by its political rival and hence would wish to see a committee formed under its chairmanship. Bijuckhe from Bhaktapur would certainly refute the findings of the committee thus headed by congress and the UML and hence would push its own committee. The NSP has now two factions and hence if they wish two separate committees would not be any surprise. The remaining, the RPP and the Deuba congress will prefer committees of their own for fear of the decisions being dangled by their opponents.

At last, the Nepali media men too would wish to constitute a committee to be headed by their own president.

The list would go on. The end result: no conclusion.

The fact is that committees are formed in Nepal in order to divert the minds of the people. Poor Nepali people take it for granted that committees if formed would reveal the truth, which is not true.
