Democracy For Nepal: Sonia Gandhi

अंगीकृत ले किन पाउँदैन प्रधान मंत्री, भारत मा पाउने भन्ने छ

अंगीकृत र नअंगीकृत को कुरा होइन, सक्षम र असक्षम को कुरा हो।

अंगीकृत ले किन पाउँदैन प्रधान मंत्री, भारत मा पाउने भन्ने छ। भारत लोकतंत्र को रोल मॉडल हो। सोनिआ ले इच्छा नगरेकी।

कहिले मधेसी ले पाउँदैन भन्ने, कहिले अंगीकृत ले पाउँदैन भन्ने। देश गरीब भएको त्यसरी हो।

राहुल गांधी ले थाहा पाए ट्वीट गर्लान फेरि -- होस राख।

If the principle of separation of powers between the three branches of government is to be respected, and it has to be, then how is it possible to revive the constituent assembly? Some political leaders in Nepal are acting as if all it takes is a consensus among the major political parties and the assembly can be revived. That is like saying if the sons and daughters can forge a consensus the dead father can be brought to life. How is that possible?

But then I have proven wrong once before. The 2006 movement resurrected the dead parliament. It was not technically an option, that is what I thought.

I personally think the best option is for the parties to agree to a caretaker government of non political people that will get the president to sign ordinances necessary to conduct a new election, and then to go for an election to a new constituent assembly.

But if the CA can be revived and the country can get a new constitution through it, that might be cheaper for the country. A revived CA that votes on all the key issues would offer a quick resolution. I never understood why party leaders needed to meet privately off site to try to resolve issues. Let the elected officials vote.
