Kathmandu, 13 August: President Bidya Devi Bhandari has become very active as she approaches the end of her tenure. The constitution does not envisage a passive head of state. However, she is expected to be sensitive, prudent, pro-sovereignty and nationalism and above the political party circle. Her regular meetings with the Chief of the Army Staff, consultation with retired generals, foreign experts and former foreign ministers, journalists, lawyers and constitutional scholars affiliated with CPN-UML, has given enough room to question her activism.  It is is quite unusual, such activism was never seen before. Her activism has alerted political circles and various stakeholders. It is not unusual that she can send the Citizenship Bill to the Parliament for reconsideration without approving it. Although there is no lack of dialogue between the President and the Prime Minister, there is a deficit of trust and a strain of party background in their relationship. Therefore, what will be the end, result and outcome of such practices in Shitalaniwas remains to be seen. However, with the elections only three months away, it can be easily assumed that such activities will be immersed in politics guided by party preambles. Early signs of that are beginning to appear. After returning to Nepal from Japan on a private visit, ruling alliance and Maoist leader Pushpa Kamal Dahal expressed doubts about the intention of the President saying that the authentication of the Citizenship Bill was delayed. It can only make sense that there is no attempt to build a national consensus on this bill, which was passed on fast track and by a number below the quorum in Parliament. The ruling coalition wants to garner political support or 'votes', especially from the densely populated Terai region by taking credit for this bill. Neither Prachanda nor the alliance has much to do with the issue of how the bill addresses citizenship issues in the Terai and other border areas. On the other hand, the CPN- UML, which is opposed to the bill, is also busy calculating the political gains and losses of what this opposition means for the party in the elections. People and parties who rise above party interests are not allowed in Nepal. The Citizenship Bill introduced in a controversial 'content' and style is not the only deviation in the country. How determined is this government to humiliate bona fide citizens of Nepal by making 'citizenship' a cheap and vague subject. Political analysts are of the view that the President can use her prerogative to decide on the bill and send it back to the Parliament or even seek suggestions form the Supreme Court.
