BABBLES

By Babbler

When the Maoist Center decided to obstruct the House meeting, the government ended the House session. We have a 275-member Federal House of Representatives plus a 59-member National Assembly. There are many impending works including important bills to be formulated and approved by the House of Representatives. The House blames the government for not giving the job to Parliament. The government always tries to escape the House. The job of the MPs is to follow the party’s direction and the duty of the MPs in opposition parties has become to obstruct the House meetings. The members have no right to go against the party’s decision. Considering the activities of the government and also the House of Representatives, we don’t need such a big parliament by spending salaries, allowances and many other facilities from the government treasury.

Furthermore, the province councils in the seven provinces have become the factory for producing ministers. The provinces and district coordination committees have become parasites of the present federalism.

Those communists believe that a parliament is a shop selling dog meat displaying a goat’s head. This comes true in the Nepali circumstance.

Why our scholars, intellectuals and academicians have remained silent on the misuse of the state treasury, is astonishing.

Thinking about a better Nepal

We cannot think of a better Nepal from the present-day leaders. The first priority they have is to earn money for themselves and the second priority is to give political assignment to their sycophants and party workers. They never give priority to the common people.

In India, a popular saying was that West Bengal would never become prosperous under communist rule. The communist mantra was that the poor people were the voters of the communist party. If those poor people become rich, they will not vote for the communist party. Therefore, always keeping poor to the poor people was the communist mantra in West Bengal, India.

In our constitution, almost on every page, “socialism” is mentioned. But in practice, we don’t find socialism anywhere.  We must throw away this political system for a better Nepal.

An odd reality

The share market is continuously declining. Commercial banks are continuously reducing bank interest rates, yet, they are holding excessive deposits. When there is no demand for loans, banks are compelled to keep deposits without investment. The Nepal Rastra Bank is continuously pulling deposits from commercial banks to maintain a balance on the money supply in the market. Even though, the finance minister is claiming that the economy of the country is taking a proper course and improving! What a surprise!

“People’s Library”

This Babbler saw a video clipping of Indira Dali, who talked about the library inside the Prime Minister’s official residence. The library is named, “People’s Library”.

Dali expressed her surprise that who are the people to get the opportunity to use the library inside the PM’s residence? The PM’s secretariat has requested to send books to the library there.

Dali has remarked that people are demanding to establish a library at Jamal, a hub in the city. If a library were established in Jamal, a large number of people would benefit.

She objected to the name of the library, “People” with a big surprise.

QUOTES OF THE WEEK

My Prime Minister protects the person who tortures and exploits children.

Balen Shah

(Reacting on the birthday celebration by UML leader Pradeep Gyawali): Those who became leaders by protesting the king’s birthday celebration, celebrate their birthday lavishly. After all, everyone just wants to be a king.

Mahesh Mal

Maoist leader Shakti Basnet, Rastriya Swatantra Party’s vice chairman Dol Prasad Aryal and general secretary Kavindra Burlakoti have misused the deposits of the Hamro Krishi Sahakari (Cooperatives).

Why didn’t the committee take the statements of those thugs?

Sunil Paudel

There was the king and there was the pride, honor and respect for Nepal and Nepalese at the international level. I used to feel proud of being a Nepali. The current republican and tyrannical masters destroyed everything.

Chakra Prasad

An urban revolt is obvious if denied a peaceful transition through a greater roundtable for a new understanding. To put pressure on that, let’s observe the so-called Constitution Day as a ‘Black Day’ and switch off the lights for 1 minute at 8 pm that evening on September 19.

Rabindra Mishra

If all the pro-monarchists and Hindus stand together, the Hindu kingdom can be restored within a few months.

Kamal Thapa

Above us is the country, there is nothing above the country. 

Rajendra Lingden

The diplomatic community is confused about whose words to believe in Nepal’s foreign affairs. Another serious weakness is the lack of stability in the pattern of speech, behavior and stance of Nepal in world affairs.

Rameshnath Pandey

I have never seen (before) (like today) people jumping so wildly in favor of monarchy. K.P. Sharma Oli

(Replying to PM Oli’s remarks that efforts are on to end republicanism in the country): Your (KP Sharma Oli, Sher Bahadur Deuba, Pushpakamal Dahal, and Rabi Lamichhane) activities have created suspicion among the people on the existence of the country.
