By Babbler Sheikh Hasina, an elected prime minister in Bangladesh, fled the country following the violent agitation. Have our political leaders, who are involved in different scandals, ever thought about the fate of Sheikh Hasina? When the people come to the streets, it becomes difficult for the corrupt leaders to remain in power. Have they thought about their destination after fleeing the country? Coincident only? Is it just a coincidence that Bechan’s arrest was related to the government change? The new coalition government was formed and immediately, DIG Manoj, who arrested Bechan, was transferred. And Bechan gave a denial statement after the Nepali Congress leader became the new Home Minister! Is PM Oli speaking the truth? Prime Minister K.P. Sharma Oli has once again repeated that his government will not allow corruption. Is he speaking the truth? Is he clean? Are his aides and party leaders clean? If they are clean, why questions have been raised about their alleged involvement in different scandals? A factory producing ministers! Once upon a time, there was the Janakpur Cigarette Factory employing one member from each house in Janakpur. After 1990, the factory was closed and after the country adopted federalism, the factory turned into the secretariat of the Madhesh Province. It has turned into a factory producing ministers as just now, the chief minister appointed five state ministers making the cabinet number 20 out of 12 ministries. Let the leaders loot the nation! QUOTES OF THE WEEK Some of the enlightened people of Nepal have written that a similar situation like Bangladesh may happen in Nepal citing the tragic incident in Bangladesh. Let us not have such a negative thinking. Rather, let us pray that the rulers will come to their senses before such a situation occurs. Even those who do not take oath in the name of God started to talk about heaven and hell. Dhruba H. Adhiikary "Hang onto a helicopter and flee the country!" The then US ambassador James Moriarty had warned King Gyanendra during the 2062/63 movement. Even though King Gyanendra was demonized the most in the history of Nepal, even though, he lived in the country in a calm/gentle/gentle manner. He did not leave the country, contrary to the speculations of those delighted by Moriarty's insulting comments. Rabindra Mishra Shameless looters are in power. Even after different commissions, authorities and courts said to pay the electricity dues by the industries, some looters are advocating for not to pay it. Devendra Bartaula 50% failure in class 10 and 50% in class 12 does not help to make a country...In America, everyone who can read and write and knows simple addition, subtraction and multiplication passes class 12 if they are not absent in class more than 10% without reason. After all, the country has progressed. Rudra Pandey In any way, there is no justification for provinces from any point of view. There is no reason why the people should shoulder such huge expenses for the management and recruitment of party workers. The heads of the provinces change like CDOs along with the coalition power in the union. Bhimarjun Acharya After Afghanistan and Sri Lanka, in the South Asian countries, the extreme dissatisfaction of the people seen in Bangladesh. Such a situation may occure in Nepal also. Don’t dominate the people, once they awake, the leadershi may not get chance to correct themselves! Rishi Raj Devkota If turmoil takes place, leaders may flee away but what the party workers do? Stop running behind those corrupt leaders. Don't praise them blindly, always make constructive criticism.
