NEFIN called 3-day nation-wide general strike (BANDH) called off on Tuesday evening, after reaching to consensus by signing 9 points agreements between Government & Banda enforcers in Kathmandu. With this agreement, in general sense, life of Kathmandu returns to normal life from very evening, however trauma of violent acts shown by banda enforcers ruin social harmony and which is not yet healed. 'I have never seen my neighbor using anti-Brahmin words this morning, which made me feel insecure being his neighbor' a statement of woman to his friend, easily describe how this strike hit to the head and heart of normal life of people. During three day banda supporters of Banda representing Janjatis (JJs) came to street chanting anti-khas/bramhin slogans. Journalists out to the reporting were severely beaten by banda enforcers. More than 6 dozens journalists threatened, harassed while reporting banda. Vehicles of media persons and media houses vandalized. Strike called by JJs turned to be violent and created hatred rather than getting support of general public. Though the reason behind the calling of strike was to create constructive pressure to 3-major political parties to decide federalism based on ethnic identity, however when it ended with 9 point agreement rooted seed of hatred & division in to the society.
CA term extended 3-months
With decision of extension CA term by 3 months town is busy gossiping pros and cons of decision. My layer friend says, 'Though extension is completely political decision it eventually weakens authority and supreme court'. The decision received huge amount of criticism by different walks of life referring court decision made earlier urging CA not to extend CA tenure. So criticism is on contempt of court. Mixed feedback have been received after decision. SameerMani Dixis tweets, 'Can somebody challenge legally the decision on CA extension?' In reply to his Twitters Timeline social media users express their views of their own.
Following day, decision of major political parties became more unclear than earlier day. By the evening of day 2 of decision, Nepali Congress central committee meeting suggested NC to step down from government. However, NC hasn't decided what to do by late night of Wednesday. Even general public in tea shop gossiping real deadlock of the nation truly start with this new development. 3 separate bills are file to court challenging parties decision. CPN p UML & NC demanding Prime Minister resignation. Radheshyam Adhikari, member of CA from NC resigned Wednesday quoting CA extension is illegal.
Whatsoever, Nepal political situation comes up to the completely tough situation. Nobody knows what happens next. Everyone looks busy making their own prediction however no concrete solution is yet given to public. Society is completely divided not because of political ideology they belong to but because of ethic representation and differences. Looks like situation is getting more chaotic than ever.
