Quotes of the Week

- Compiled by Sushma Shrestha

The people do not want federalism that needs to be run by foreign loans. The people do not want a provincial structure that sucks the labour and sweat of the Nepali people. The people are not obliged to feed hundreds of parliament­arians, dozens of ministers and their staff. If there is a revolt from people, remember what will happen to you in time.

- Omkymar Thapa

Last week, Sher Bahadur Deuba inaugurate­d a top-secret conference on Nepal's foreign policy, which was attended by 38 Indian foreign experts. Pushpa Kamal Dahal concluded the two-day-long conference.

What they cooked in that secret conference, and why they kept the outcome of the conference secret, is a matter of concern among the Nepalis.

How long will the leadership of the country hold the country as a mortgage and take a chair in the loan and pay the interest?

In the US, one has to wait for 8 years to get citizenshi­p. In Nepal, one should not wait for one day to get it. Indigenous Tarai people are falling into a minority among the 'new citizens'. And for that, Mahant Thakur and Rajendra Mahato have reached Sheetal Niwas! A strange situation is happening in Nepal.

- Dhruba H. Adhikary

Sensitive issues like citizenshi­p should be decided after a detailed discussion taking into account the long-term effects and should not be regretted by ratifying it in future. Our leaders, in the politics of vote bank, have ratified the bill discarding the long-term impact of such an act with the applause of the 23 MPs.

The result of a fraud leaders’ rule!

Bullying had exceeded the limit! Balen Shah is right to run a dozer! Should those who break the law talk about the law? A legal battle will eventually go to court and our courtrooms are in shambles. Simply, a stay order will stop all campaigns! Enough is enough!

- Laxman Ghimire

Those demolished structures had survived many party-affiliated mayors doing nothing. So Balen's achievemen­ts imply that we need party-less Swatantras to get things done. Is it the beginning of the end of corrupt parties in Nepal?

- Bihari Krishna Shrestha

Ravi Lamichhane is silent on hot topics such as the citizenshi­p bill, Lipulekh, Kalapani, and other border encroachme­nt! He is just criticizin­g Ba and Oli. How far can he reach from such biased politics?

- Prem Gharti Magar

For what should we feel proud? You sell the country's herbs for 1 paisa and buy 10 paisa capsules and eat them. You scold the leaders for entire five years and again at the end you vote for the same leaders. The country’s youths are in the Gulf countries and the remaining youths are running behind the embassies, INGOs and foreign institutio­ns. The country is running from the remittance sent by our youths.

- Tim I Gurung

Alliance for what? Those who stay in the power center, stay in the security zone to criminally exploit the state's property, and shamelessl­y do unimaginab­le things while staying in the security zone saying that they will make the country prosperous are highly punishable. Do you even imagine that the alliance and other ties will be revealed in this year's election?
