Perhaps it is in the entire history of representative (Parliamentary) democratic system Nepal could be the only one nation, which honors those political leaders who lost people´s electoral mandate from nation´s historic elections of Constituent Assembly upon the daylight of 21st century.
Why such an unfair political practice has been strained in Nepal at this point after all that suffering is a shock for those eyes to see their own electoral mandate has been decomposing by the arbitrary mandate of leaders like GP Koirala.
Far greater than this is the agony of the rest of the elected representatives of Constituent Assembly, particularly to those elected leaders of Nepali Congress party to see how leaders like GP Koirala can rail the unelected govern Nepal.
I had never understood among many previous utterances of GP Koirala when he spoke particularly on Democracy that is unique to Nepal. He said often times Nepali politics is unique and Nepalis´ political leaders are capable of resolving every political hurdles by themselves for peace, Democracy and justice.
But now I have come to understand one of his utterances clearly that the supreme leaders like GP Koirala can overrule the norms and principle of electoral Democracy by inflicting desired unique situation in the politics.
First, such an infliction took place in new Nepal with Maoist supreme leaders through the reelection of one of the supreme leaders who lost from two constituents of Constituent Assembly elections to honor him with the responsibility of Chairperson of Constitution Drafting Committee.
The sentiment perhaps was to honor communist comrade but it really violated the ethics of Democracy. Nonetheless, the uniqueness of Nepali politics (UoNP) as status quo apparently has the power to justify such violation with the whip of Nepal´s supreme leaders.
The UoNP arbitration has reelected the unelected. Consequently, the unelected- reelected has become the Prime Minister of Nepal by letting go his primary responsibilities as the chairperson of constitution drafting commission obligated during Maoist led government.
As a matter of fact, the Prime Minister under UoNP seems feeble without the pressure of other supreme leaders such as GP Koirala´s arbitration in politics – "from cabinet formation to promoting his own daughter to deputy prime minister against the majority rule of members of Central Working Committee of his own party Nepali Congress."
At this point, Nepal has no political setup for public opinion. Public opinion simply does not count to supreme leaders who advocate UoNP. It has been clear that the current politics has failed to respect people´s electoral mandate of the historic constituent elections.
Democracy for Nepali people has become hopeless. The UoNP arbitrations have made people apparently scapegoats to put up with all the adverse situations. How many innocent people were killed, tortured, jailed and displaced! How many young have had been recruited by rebels and counter rebels! How many young women and children have become the victims of human trafficking! How many hardworking family members were murdered, kidnapped, raped, and robbed by thugs! To the horror of Nepalis the reports are found in media every other day!
Life of Nepali people is in utter chaos under the status quo of UoNP and its supreme leaders should be accountable since after signing "Comprehensive Peace Accord 2006" to end ten years Maoist-insurgency that paved the safe road for Maoists to enter mainstream politics.
What could have otherwise brought Maoists to mainstream politics if there had been no 12-point Comprehensive Peace Accord between main political parties? All those involved political parties must subsequently respect and comply with the accord until peace process comes to a logical end. But this is not the UoNP arbitration but people´s voice for peace at least.
Any attempt therefore to review CPA prior to a fair resolution for integrating Maoist combatants will undermine CPN United Maoists´ commitment to mainstream politics. Even if Maoist supreme leaders agreed with the UoNP proposal to review CPA, it will be considered violation of peace-treaty.
India or other nations can be blamed for all this because Nepal´s supreme leaders are incapable puppet. But it is the UoNP status quo that lets Indian interest intrude in our nation. Therefore, it cannot be ruled out whether the proposal is free of Indian interest to undercut Maoist strength in mainstream Nepali politics.
CPN United Maoists has become one of the powerful political parties after constituent assembly elections due to their major point compliance to CPA. Maoists can play a significant role in mainstream politics if they are fully committed to multiparty democracy beyond the mindset of UoNP status quo.
Most importantly Maoists has to stop their communist gimmicks. They must play honest role in drafting new constitution. If not it is clear Maoists are part and parcel of UoNP status quo with all that obstructions for civilian supremacy.
Unfortunately, Nepal has no government that is neither fully functioning, nor the rule of law and justice at this juncture. The utter lack of political will and consensus is an omen for greater political instability, which may dismantle peace process and Democracy.
The UoNP politics of supreme leaders as status quo has created conflict and chaos in their own parties. That is way there is utter lack of political will and consensus. Nation´s hope lies on the new generation of leaderships if they can transcend themselves from the status quo of UoNP politics with their full commitment to peace, rule of law and Justice.
In my opinion, the best of all assurances is to take the responsibility of the body of legislature with authority over the legislation for scrutinizing workings of other bodies of government, particularly cabinet bills and decisions.
Those who oppose the authority of body of legislature for scrutiny in a nation like ours will encourage the government corruption and tradition of impunity. The new generation of leaderships must be open to reeducate themselves with the workings of modern Democracy that is pragmatic and most effective but by long shot less dogmatic and devoid of nonsense.
