Nepal PM appeals Maoists to withdraw Protest Programs

TGW

Madhav Kumar Nepal, bedridden prime minister of Nepal, reportedly who is showing Swine Flu like Symptoms and thus has not been able to attend office for the last two to three days has made an appeal to the Maoists party to withdraw their declared protest programs.

Mr. Nepal making a statement on Thursday November 12, 2009, said that his attention has been drawn towards fresh avowals being made by the leaders of the Maoists’ party claiming that the Government has so far ignored the efforts undertaken by the Maoists party to forge consensus.

Bishnu Rijal, Prime Minister’s Press advisor briefed the media that Mr. Nepal, instead of his illness talked straight over telephone with the Unified Maoists Party Chief Pushpa Kamal Dahal alias Prachanda on Thursday, November 12, 2009.

“The Prime Minister fervently appealed Prachanda to once again sit for talks to end the dispute and allow the government to approve the budget”, Mr. Rijal told the reporters. However, Prachanda only listened to the PM’s plea…he did not said much except that he will talk to the Prime Minister some time later.

The statement issued by the PM’s personal secretariat also says that the Unified Maoists’ Party was itself ignoring unity efforts taken by the Government.

Government must be shown as government not as a battling party.First and formost duty of government is to be responsible for safeguarding safety and welfare of people.It seems that government is lacking the courage and will-power to rule the country.People are suffering from current anarchy but governement is found inactive as sleeping mode.Law and order is not working and impunity is rising,so in this situation its hard to find existency of state.If government could not guarantee the primary rights of people,it has no moral right to govern the country.Either act as a government or quiet,is a must.Leaning the legs is not the proper and right position of Government.Jay Nepal !
