Statement of impunity
Published On: September 10, 2019 02:00 AM NPT By: Republica
Nepal Communist Party (NCP) co-chair Pushpa Kamal Dahal seems keen on granting amnesty to the perpetrators of 2015 Tikapur carnage. On Sunday, he said that the anti-constitution protest that resulted in lynchings of seven police personnel and a toddler in Kailali was a political uprising and that it should be dealt with as such. Such a remark from the head of ruling party is irresponsible and smacks of impunity.

One of the main reasons the government of K P Sharma Oli is receiving public criticism is because it has been introducing one after another controversial bill in the parliament. Most controversial in this regard have been Guthi Bill, Media Council Bill, National Human Rights Commission Bill and National Security Bill.

Dasharath Stadium is where Nepal has held vital regional sports events in the past—such as the 2012 AFC Challenge Cup and 2013 SAFF Championship. And it is here Nepal will have to host inaugural and closing ceremonies of the 13th South Asian Games (SAG) in December. But as the date of this mega sporting event is nearing (we are only three months away) doubts remain as to whether the stadium will be ready for it within these three months.

In what could be described as the ugly remnant of feudalism, a loan shark in Sarlahi district has given physical and mental tortures to as many as 300 people, including many women, who are now in Kathmandu seeking justice against the money lender. The victims have accused him of producing fake documents to inflate multiple times the actual amount of loan they had taken.

Wake up Nepali Congress
Published On: August 29, 2019 02:05 AM NPT By: Republica
When the government makes mistakes, fails to deliver, or introduces flawed policies, people usually look up to the opposition party in a parliamentary system. People expect the opposition to come up with alternative policies and plans, suggest ways to amend the flawed government policies or support their implementation if policies are good. It is for this reason that opposition party is often called the government-in-waiting in parliamentary system.
