Recently, in an unfortunate incident, a student lost his life in his vibrant days of living. The loss of his life is undoubtedly sad. May his soul rest in peace.
Students are protesting everywhere. I read Butwal is tensed and so is/was Kathmandu. Protesting an unjust killing is remarkable and admirable. But I wonder where all these students were when Maoists were gunning down people one after another? Why couldn't they protest then?
Protesting against an unjust act is as I said above is remarkable but they shouldn't be allowed to destroy personal and public properties. Everyone who is identified destroying personal and public properties (attacking innocent people, cars, shops, vandalizing street-traffic lights, sidewalk bars etc) should be prosecuted. Protest is not and should not be a license to riot.
Just my thought.
"Over forty UML cadres handed over a memorandum to general secretary Madhav Kumar Nepal Thursday expressing disenchantment over the unhealthy competition among top notch leaders to rise to power instead of focusing on problems before the nation. " [nepalnews.com, April 11, 2003]
Good job comrades. Get rid of those "satta lampatharu". I wish these comrades could throw those so called "top notch" leaders away to a stinky corner and move on with their noble intention of focusing on problems before the nation. Just a memorandum won't work though. I hope comrades realize this sooner.
