”I don't think there is any difference between Vidyaji and KPG in terms of ideological and political culture, Vidyaji was seen as a rubber stamp of the Prime Minister at one stage”
After the Maoists, who had obstructed the Parliament demanding the resignation of the Home Minister, agreed on two points and backed down, a question has been raised that the power has been lost to the alliance from within the party. After every decision of the Maoists, there is a discussion in the political circles about the possible equation of the Congress and the Maoists. Congress-UML coalition government is about to reach one year. In the meantime, Durga Khanal of Kantipur and Ganga BC had a conversation with Chairman of Maoist and former Prime Minister Pushpa Kamal Dahal, who is also the leader of the main opposition party, about the work of parliament, government, constitutional bodies, etc.
You withdrew the ongoing parliamentary obstruction on the issue of visit visas after two-point agreement. RSP's obstruction continues. What is the internal agreement between the three parties on this matter?
Visit visas and immigration problems at international airports have long been discussed. This time it surfaced a little more seriously and became everyone's interest. The main opposition and the opposition parties had a serious discussion and blocked the attention of the government. But we opened the house for the economic survey and budget presentation on May 15 so as not to disturb matters of national importance. We have shown that the opposition wants to proceed responsibly, not irresponsibly and in any way inconvenience. Now the opposition RSVP is in a state of obstruction. I tried hard to take them along. But we couldn't all be together. Even if the
is not successful, there is an understanding between all the opposition parties not to accuse each other's positions. We have moved forward with 'Agree to Disagree'. It was not appropriate to obstruct after the government promised to investigate the visit visa and form a committee within a month.
Is there a situation where another agreement is needed to bring the RASWPA to an agreement?
Now it is decided to form a high-level investigation committee with UML, Congress and the government. After forming a committee and seeing its mandate, the opposition of the friends of Raswapa will not last forever. The
visit visa is a subject of serious study. It did not start with the current Home Minister. It has been going on for many years. Many international parties are also connected there somewhere and it is a very serious matter of national importance, so it needs to be investigated seriously. Our party and leadership have been performing the great responsibility of being the opposition despite being the ruling party and playing the role of the ruling party in Nepal since the peace agreement and the 12 points.
There has been a dispute even in the Maoists because of the two-point agreement? As the
has come out, it is not true. A meeting of the central office was held in this room (Khumaltar residence) and it was unanimously decided that we should ease the obstruction and remove it. Not only me, but the leadership team was appointed and the decision was made by consensus. But some friends have said that there was no talk and no review at the end. That's normal. In the decision-making process, after the policy and main issues have been decided by the committee, it is not practically possible to tell everyone about all the issues during its implementation. I don't think a big wave came from that. Again, there are those who fish from outside in murky water. Because in the meantime the Maoists, the leadership and the campaigns and warnings we conducted have created a very good atmosphere and situation among the people. Those who clearly see that the people are once again looking towards the Maoists and Prachanda continue to try to undermine them in one way or another. Now it is being said that Prachanda has made two points like a storm in a tea cup.
Is the UML, which is leading the government, not ready to reveal the obstruction of the RSVP in the parliament now? Did something happen in the meeting of the top leaders in Baluwatar last Friday?
We decided on our side to remove the obstruction in the House, after which the situation became a little easier for the government. Unfortunately, in the House, the subject of the Federal Civil Bill was removed from the agenda by the Speaker. It could not be removed after it was presented in the House and unanimously passed by the committee. Sometimes it seems that if the House is obstructed like this, it is not possible to dissolve it and move it to the other side and prove that what you have done in the past was right, has it not worked? This is something everyone should think about. In the past, Prime Minister KP Oli has repeatedly dissolved the constitution and dissolved the parliament.
Is it the same situation as in the past when the Parliament was dissolved? What signal did you get? A
signal has been received. One should also be cautious by remembering the past experience. Removing the Federal Civil Service Bill from the work list and directly and indirectly expressing the feeling that the RSVP is obstructing it, all of us should be alert to see if the leadership of the government is thinking of doing so somewhere. If we are not careful, it will not take long for an accident to happen. We have seen it in Nepal in the past.
What is your clear opinion about the issue of keeping a 'cooling off period' for employees in the Civil Bill? As the
committee deliberated, there were different opinions. But it was later passed unanimously. We continue to think that the 'cooling off period' should be at least two years. Congress has also taken a good initiative in keeping the 'cooling period'. UML's friends also agreed and reached that House. But even though it was unanimously passed by the committee, the leadership of UML was not satisfied and happy about keeping the 'cooling period' for two years. There seems to be tremendous pressure from the bureaucracy within the UML. It is an 'open secret' that there is a little more UML dominance and UML people in the staff and secretaries. They are putting pressure on the Prime Minister and the UML leadership. We have told the Congress that it should not gain a foothold in this matter. A 'cooling period' can be a 'milestone' for governance. The practice of working for years and then earning a pension and immediately moving to a position of great profit has created a serious problem for good governance. But it is heard that the government wants to end the House quickly and go through the Ordinance. This does not seem to be impossible, looking at past experiences. Therefore, I appeal to all political parties in Parliament to be vigilant.
secretaries grouping themselves and going to the Prime Minister, the Speaker to lobby against the matter decided by the parliamentary committee, how do you see it from the point of view of employee discipline?
This indicated that a 'cooling period' of more than 2 years was necessary. It is absolutely wrong to go in groups and pressurize. According to the changed political situation, the culture of the employees should also be modified. The Speaker should facilitate the progress of the matters that have been unanimously agreed upon by the committee. If the Speaker bows down, it will not be good for good governance.
What was the role of the ruling coalition party Congress when the parliament was blocked?
Congress and Maoists have a little more responsibility to bring the peace process to a conclusion. Because of that, there is a need for a little more cooperation between the two parties. It is up to Sher Bahadur Deubaji to take steps in this situation and create a comfortable environment in the country. He seems to feel that now sometimes the relationship between Deubaji and me is easy. I like it too.
So you are not close to forming a power coalition Have you started ?
is not up to that point. It is from the point of view of solving the problems seen in the country. Wherever I go across the country, Congress leaders, MPs and ministers are not satisfied. I don't see anyone being satisfied with the current government and its functioning.
Is Deuba also dissatisfied with the functioning of the government?
Deubaji does not speak immediately. Not even in the mood to respond. But some things seem to feel awkward. Deubaji asked me what happened from Janakpur after the process of indicting Madhav Kumar Nepalji, the president of the United Samajwadi Party, started. Since I am a party involved in the government, I replied that I will ask you questions. Deubaji said, 'I don't know about suing Madhav Nepal'. From that, it is known that something is wrong somewhere.
Therefore, there is also a comment that you are ready to open the Parliament barrier by withdrawing from the resignation of Home Minister Ramesh Akhtar in order to form a possible alliance?
That people are free to comment. The place was seen. I met Deubaji on behalf of the opposition party. The leader of the main opposition met him in consultation with the RSVP. We did not discuss anything about breaking the alliance with Deubaji, forming another alliance. I didn't raise that issue either. He didn't talk either. We had a discussion on how to ease the situation of obstruction in the Parliament and how the government can address the issue raised on the visit visa. Even now we have not talked about making another alliance with Deubaji. This government has not been able to function properly. It is the understanding of the opposition that it cannot be done. Our wish is that the conflict within the government should be resolved in a new way. But we are not interested in destroying this government and forming another coalition.
After the corruption case was filed against Madhav Nepal, it is said that the authority interfered in the policy decision of the Council of Ministers and there was also political bias. What is your opinion on this?
We support legal and structural reforms to maintain good governance. We have also taken the initiative. The way a case has been registered against Madhav Nepalji, it is not natural or fair. We all know what the Supreme Court said about the Giribandhu T State. There are many other cases of corruption. Without paying attention to that, Madhavji has been accused in the way of Patanjali's land. It is not natural and fair. The sovereign parliament could make policies and laws and impeach. It was not a matter for the authorities to force themselves. It is against the decision of the authority itself. Madhavaji has been attacked by breaking the traditions and precedents of authority. The matter that the authority has decided to keep under investigation, the case was brought up without discussing it within the authority itself. This is wrong. No one can say and should not say that the chief can bring up the matter kept in Tameli whenever he wants. This is not how good governance is maintained.
The authority said that since it was not within our jurisdiction to enter into the policy decision of the Council of Ministers in the case of Lalita Niwas (at that time the issue of Madhav Nepal and Baburamji was much discussed), nothing should be done. This is the authority to write letters asking the Council of Ministers to do what they have to do. That is why the authority was questioned. I would also like to mention the topic that was discussed yesterday (Oli, Deuba, Dahal meeting on Friday). It is against the previous decision of the authority that I will prosecute Madhavji. Shall we give authority to change policy rules? Or will the parliament or the government take it? Raised the matter. There Deubaji said that the supremacy of the Parliament should be maintained. Why did the cabinet sit now? Can this be done by keeping the authority in the cabinet or not? Had to ask.
If the authority agreed, the cabinet had to do it, if it didn't agree, it came to a situation. It was discussed between the three leaders that now the cabinet has become an authority. This is a simple but serious thing to look at. This is not only about Madhav Nepalji. I am not in favor of saying that the prime minister should not take action if he makes a mistake. If I had to start the research, I would have done it myself. I am not of the party that no matter what you do after becoming the Prime Minister, you should be exempted. But the right to make policy decisions should be given to the authority or to the Parliament? Will the cabinet or the authority do it by reforming the laws and regulations? If the authority decides in this way and says it is right, then there is no need for a cabinet. Why does the Prime Minister want KPG? Why do people trust the government? People have followed all authority. Is it a good thing for democracy, people and good governance? This was completely wrong.
Are you trying to say that the government's decision is overshadowed by the authority?
There has been a trend of having political participation in constitutional bodies and putting people from their own party in courts and constitutional commissions. It has been a tradition that the people who reach the leadership of the government are given instructions and decisions to their people accordingly. This is unfortunate. The act of appointing 52 people to the Constitutional Commission by two people by bringing a forced ordinance is completely against the spirit of the Constitution and the law. The case is currently pending before the Supreme Court. Honorable Chief Justice and Judges of the Supreme Court know that it is a serious matter. When do you put this issue on 'Nisu' and move it again? Seeing this, I remember the dialogue of the Hindi film 'Tarikh Pe Tarikh'. The Supreme Court has been forced to move this case. I trust in the Supreme. Not my negative comment. Why is the Supreme Court forced to do this? There has been a political appointment somewhere. & NBSP; The sub-committee of the State Manage Committee of the State Manage of Parliament, agreed on which of the authority is policy, but not that topic could not go? Is all the decisions that have made by the cabinet unless in the investigation? & NBSP; If the
-Break is wrong, it should not be stopped with it as a policy decision. It should be improved. That was fine with the sub-policy of the State Management Committee. Parliament should decide that before it rains. Authority can now suggest that the authority had to do so out of it. Himself gets the issue with a judgment? After the
Court questioned why the author would be held responsible for the authorizing the authority, what is lawful for Madhav Nepal in a handful of decision-making officer to hold the decision to the Lalitha Balitan Bargency?
is just that argument. The truth is not something. The decision & NBSP; has to be done by the full meeting of the parliament, that is not a constitutional body. The Madha is confirms that political volume of Nepal is political volume.
How has you evaluated this government-friendly relationship?
is not good with the neighbors when it becomes a government. We have seen the expressions that the Prime Minister has gone at the General Assembly of the United Nations. The government has not been able to handle a good relationship to all according to our connected tradition policy. What-Break what about India, especially India?
is not only with India but also China's government has no good relationship with China. This is a result of false thinking about the foreign relations of the government. The 18-month government of my leadership was seen that it was good.
Maoists returned to the party to the Foreign President. Now the presence of the Easter Vidya Bhandari seems to be active in the UML. China has recently visited China visit. The activism of the steward is heard that he is for the most important way unity. What is your view?
President or Vice President will again be taken by a constitution and law to lead party active politics again. There are many examples in the world that has a presidential person has been active politics. Have turned up to the mayor. President, Vice President, is not a logical that Merculus should be inactive. The President, the Vice-President should not be brought to politics in a politics. Is dependent on their will. We have banned Nanda Bahadur Raj Deputy Chairman of the East Purchase. It may have been easier for our decision to come into politics toohips.
a Vidyali does not change that the wam is pulled when it comes to politics. When it can't be a complaint, immediately it is not possible to move forward. As I understand, there is the same political thoughts, rites, and wonders. There is no difference. The UML has heard that the care is comese of her coming. But it does not seem that technology is different in the caressage and KP o in terms of ideological and political rites. Vidyagi looked like a phase of the Prime Rubber Stamp. That is why the country is embarrassed at that time. That should not be forgotten. In one stages, the CP is seen as the Rubber Rubber Stamp. I also spoke at that time and even out. I don't see that KPG will go to UML as soon as the care is the basis of the bamboo. Does
Non-Bhandari Bhandari have been well-watched for winning unity in China? The leader of China always expressed if
leftist. This is 'Open Syracters'. But the Nepal's finalists do not run according to China's everlasting. Decide according to their own thoughts, discernment, and circumstances. & Nbsp;
Congress, UML, has been completing a year, what has been evaluated by the fact that as the main opposition?
said I had the birth of the birth of this government as an unnatural way while the last time I took the faith. This is the case with corruption and brokers. Not to national capital development. It was not formed to let the government to do something for the country. It sought to cut the programs and plans in the nation and the interests to make the broker and the middle of the middle. Is it justiceful to pronounce "the day 'in the interests of Dalits in the policy and program? All the package programs for Karnali, Far West, Madhes has been cut. This government is not for the people, not for the people, a fixed class, broker capital and middle-albeal. & NBSP;
Beach also was also in the pre-government time and nbsp;
don't? & nbsp;
I have to turn to minimal to minimal. I saw a maneuver operation of the deadline from the middle of the middle, I was not ready to obey it. I was not ready to work for the selfishness of the middle of the middle of the middle of the middle. I started to destroy the settings. If the middleman said that he said, it would be money, too, would be even the government. I am in the pride of middle of the middle of the middle of the middle of the country and good governance. can you stop while you are in the government, but what is the work in the settings of a middle Baalia? & NBSP;
is appointment of securities in which I have stopped and later move forward. The point on various IPO has been different. The board is tarried that the board is tarnished for the selfishness in the selfishness of elements. Then the three brokers sold to Congress and UML. Congress and UML are not myself. Only because of one appointment of
Securities Securities and Nbsp;
is not just that. But of the main incident, the householder board is one. Story-BRAK Maoists ran a political campaign by recent posturing and mid-in-half-page highway. What did I find the psychology of the general contraception?
we learned to understand the psychology of the people. He felt that the views of the people, even though they were in any party, felt that the issue was still the Maoists to protect this change. It was the only one who did not go up to power. We have strongly strengthened unity within the party, that we will be better than the year's election, 2084 election.
