It is a good sign for democracy that the parties are not breaking up, but coming together and joining. But unfortunately! The historic unity arrived in Angan - the collaboration between Janmaat and Civil Liberation Party has suddenly been broken, on the basis of an illegal letter, after instructions given by a cynical employee, Resham Chaudhary is being jailed again.
This incident has given a serious blow to the struggle to institutionalize the pain of Tharuhat and Madhesh, to bring suppressed voices to the mainstream. Why does this coincidence happen again and again, when the environment of cooperation between these parties starts to form! And why is the interest of the state apparatus suddenly refocused on Resham Chaudhary?
With the latest developments, it seems that Resham Choudhary himself is deeply afraid that the state will trap him again. Due to this fear, the journey of unity has again turned towards an uncertain direction. Such a situation reflects a vindictive attitude within the state apparatus, which bodes ill for democracy.
If there is a timely intervention by the state apparatus to prevent the possible unity between public opinion and freedom, it is not only an attack on the relationship between the two parties, but also an audacity that hurts the soul of the entire people's movement. This divisive game is a mockery of democratic values and public spirit. At this time, prudent political forces, civil society and independent media cannot remain silent. Because, this is not only a matter of Resham Choudhary, it is also a question of securing the access of citizens within an inclusive democracy.
Now the leaders of public opinion and civil emancipation must make a clear decision - to close the door of unity again with the lock of fear or to make history by showing the courage of cooperation? Unity is still possible, if one dares to break through this web of fear and doubt. But a closed-door attitude can lead to the loss of that potential.
Therefore, do not close the unity that has arrived in the courtyard with the lock of fear. Let it open the door, through which a new ray of inclusive politics can enter. Because closing a door now means closing an opportunity for the future.
