In dire straits

Niraj Aryal

Every thing is already said of the Nepali politics, the civil society and the others who claim themselves responsible for the nation. However, the situation has remained at standstill if not otherwise degraded to a situation, irreversible.

The media, not all partition though, after the restoration of democracy has done its job tremendously well in informing the illiterate mass on the contemporary political issues but knowingly or unknowingly leaving development issues and social issues to take a back seat in the process. Is media responsible?

Of the Nepali politics, the duration of democratic exercise very short though was dominated by wrangling between the political parties mostly between the Nepali Congress and the Nepal communist party; the United Marxist and Leninist and sometimes the inner intra-party wrangling that cannot be dismissed. Then came the Maoists (mis) adventure, the party formed by the gentlemen who failed to make their presence known in the dawn of democratic exercise, however they could have waited a bit longer, the Nepali Congress hegemony then, the Maoists in haste then, is at present in the show that has completely destroyed the nation.

The unrest continues, the political backbiting continues, the Maoists are also continuing with their rampage. No solution yet has been devised and the crisis continues leaving the nation in dire straits

Interestingly though one can think who has remained aloof of all these entire situation?

Are there still some left?

However, will the Maoists come on table for talks? - Indeed, a popular question as of now.

What about their demands, will they compromise, and at what cost?

What is stopping them from coming on the table?

Is it just Deuba who is coming in between?

Can the nation afford to proceed towards an abyss at Deuba’s cost?

Let us assume they come to talk and every thing settle downs, but will peace prevail.

Now let us think into this fact.

What about the likes of Madhesi Mukti Morcha, the Madhesi Tigers and others.

Will they follow the Maoists path?

At a recently held seminar a Journalist, probably born in the southern Terai plains beamingly had said this is just the beginning of the beginning more is still to come, he said. Should this mean that if the Maoists issue gets settled amicably will our friends here and there provoke similar insurgencies to take the Maoists path? Who knows what is in thier agenda next.

Time for all of to get up and take charge of the situation.
