MEDIA DARLING: Prime Minsiter Girija Prasad Koirala turns away as Maoist leader Pushpa Kamal Dahal gets all the attention of the press at a tea party at the prime minister\'s residence in Baluwatar on Wednesday to welcome the new members of parliament. |
As we are preparing for the constituent assembly election, the situation is getting worse due to communal violence. There is looting everyday, transport is constantly affected and the security situation has been weakening. The home minister should resign. There are concerns about how security will be maintained when the Nepal Army is confined to barracks and the police have proven useless.
Lahan burned and innocent people died because the Maoists take up arms to control any situation and fail to recognise the existence of other people. But while the Maoists were responsible for the situation there, and opportunists infiltrated it to aggravate matters, the home ministry absolutely failed to curb it.
Nepalis have lived in harmony for ages, but that might not last if the violence due to the rising communalism propagated by the JTMM is not controlled.
